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.

No ball washers.

I had two complaints. First, there were no ball washers anywhere on the course and the course has a good amount of dirt areas that are also often muddy. Second, the 15th hole was closed for repairs, but no one informed me of the fact when I booked the round. It seems that I might have played somewhere else until the repair was completed.

Kokopelli is making a come back

Over the past few years, Kokopelli had lost its attraction the Phoenix Metro due to the course conditions. I had heard from someone at a different course that they have been working on the course and were making some changes. It's apparent they are doing so. The course is looking better and the greens are rolling smooth. The changes are noticeable, and looking good. The heat is kicking up in AZ, and all courses are drying out. Kokopelli is no different. So if you play there in the coming months, cut them slack if the course doesn't look amazing. It's Arizona in the summer. Overall, glad my wife and I went back to give it another try. The team has done some great work, and hopefully will continue to do so!

Quit after 12 holes

This is not the Pebble Beach golf resort! There is no reason for a round to take over five hours to play. And we were well over three hours and only on hole 11. Played 12. Still so slow that at that point we decided to walk off the course.

Best of the worst - least best !!!

Obviously it's a one and done course, you play it once and you'll never play again. Amazing to see how many golfers there are in the valley for there are enough one-time players to play this course to somehow keep it open.

Don't believe me ? Learn the hard and expensive way and play for yourself. In the event you are reading this after you have made the mistake to play this course I'm sure next time you play any course you will read the reviews.

Overall in Great Shape

Course was in great shape, still a little confused as to why a couple of the holes were cart path only. No starter made for some slow play but not terrible

Poor staff on the course

Had two foursomes and both our groups were warned multiple times that was needed to pick up our pace while we were pacing for a 4 hour round the whole time. The staff was rather rude and ruined a nice golf outing for my buddy in town for his baby shower. The front desk, concessions and beverage cart staff were great but gotta give a 0/100 with the starter and the ranger on how they handled course play. You better be ready to spend 90 dollars a person to be rushed for 4 hours. Would not recommend. Also standing water on most of the holes

Hi Clinton, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about your experience on the course. We appreciate your kind words about our staff in other areas. Pace of play is always a very important topic. I'm sorry to hear that your interaction with Keith wasn't great but he does have a very important job of keeping groups in line. Since the usual comment is that most Marshalls dont do enough, I appreciate you sharing he was working hard on pace of play. We will work on the delivery and look forward to having you back out. Thank You

Course needs some attention.

I play this course a few times a year when we are here from WI. This was the worst condition I have seen the course. Many dead spots with no grass. One green had many Grassley areas. Pace of play was a bit slow.
