Course Highlights
The course layout consistently earns praise for its rolling hills, moguls, and long fairways that create a genuinely challenging round. Friendly staff and reasonable rates make this a smart alternative to pricier options in the Phoenix area.

Located a short distance from Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix and Arizona State University, Kokopelli Golf Course is a championship length course that offers many interesting challenges. The rolling terrain creates sloping greens and undulating fairways. A majority of the teeboxes and greens are elevated as well. The course also has large multiple island tees and water hazards in the form of meandering lakes that come into play on several holes. The signature hole of Kokopelli Golf Course is the par-5 18th hole. The dramatic finishing hole calls for a shot off an elevated too followed by an approach shot past water to an elevated green.

Hi there! We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the inconvenience with the muddy conditions. The team has been watering more than usual due to the overseeding. We have improved the mud situation from previous years and will continue to work on it. We look forward to seeing you in the future.

This course is definetly on the way back

My friend and I avoided this course for along time when it when way down hill a few years back. We started playing it again about a year ago when we found out it was under new management.

The first couple times the course was still rough in a few places but tee to green was good. This last time we played, the course is in excellent condition with the exception of a few tee boxes that could be more level.

The greens are in amazing shape and very true although whoever set the pin locations on this day must hate golfers :). they were brutal. The fairways are the best I have seen them in a long time and they seem to be getting the mud situation in check. Still a few spots, but nothing that bothered us.

It's funny but the last three times we played this the first time we saw the beverage cart was coming up the 9th hole. Not sure if this is because we get out so early or not.

Overall, Kokopelli is back in our regular rotation. We love the layout and the improvements that have been made over the last couple years are really showing what a jewel this place was "back in the day".

I am so glad they brought this course back and thank you to whoever put in the effort.

Great value for the money. Course is in great shape. Front nine was quick playing but got backed up by hole 15. ( there were 3 groups of 2 in front of us that were very slow. Other than that I'd play it again for sure!

I booked 18 hoes but I will only able to play nine due to not being able to drive up to my ball and hit it I have a surgically repaired knee. Driving up to my ball would have been helpful.

Enjoyable round. Friendly pro shop staff. Would have appreciated being advised prior to booking that the course had just been over seeded and it was cart path only. Still great. Alice for the money.
