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.

Disappointing

Photos of course were misleading. The course had lots of brown spots and uneven ground. The cost was very high for the below average condition of the course

So-so for the price

I felt the greens and fairways were in pretty good shape. The paths Nd rough were really rough. They did not clean up the course after apparent rain storm. First nine was good pace but the back really was slow. Not horrible, but not great overall.

Tried this course as it was a more reasonable cost for the time of year. Fairways and greens were in good shape, but many areas of repair and reconstruction off fairway had impact on course difficulty. Pace of play was a little slow at times, still finished in 4 1/2 hrs.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Would play again for same or less price.

Links Style Gorgeous Course

Very interesting and different course, lots of moguls if you're a skier you know what I mean. Links style course in that regard. On a dry day it would be great, but because of the rain, we were required to stay on the cart path so there's significant up and down walking to get to and from your ball. In wet conditions, hit your ball close to the cart path ! Still fun to play.

Better than it use to be.

We have not played here for awhile due to do poor conditions of the golf course. Someone has finally spent some money making this a decent golf course to play.

The pace of play was still grueling at almost 5 hours.

It was a chance to golf

People at course were outstanding...very friendly and helpful

The course is just ok. The fairways had some grassy areas and some bare spots. There was a lot of standing water due to the recent rains...not the fault of the course. But losing balls in the fairway is never a good thing.

The greens were fine...not great put very playable. Tee boxes were OK for the most part...some were a little shaggy.

In general, at a time when it is extremely difficult to find affordable tee times, it was place to play some golf. There are better and way more expensive tracks in the area...and there are many that are not as good as this one. The off course facilities and the people make Kokapelli a decent option to get out and hit it

A real swamp

Course is horrible shape with standing water everywhere ( its in the middle of the desert). No one told me it was cart path only until we went on fairway 1st hole. I would discourage anyone from wasting the money and time playing this course. Lost no less than 6 golf balls in mud puddles….

Stay away

Roughs

Course not in real good shape. Granted lots of rain. Front nine roughs are a red clay??? Clover in what had grass could not find balls!! Tees should have been mowed. If a course has sand traps try to take care of them. Nothing done on traps. Unfortunate rain did have something to do with conditions but not sure would change a lot here
