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.

Chaotic and Slow!

The start to the day was a mess of chaos and confusion. Frost delay was one thing but then the starter just seemed to be completely lost. In the end he put us out as a group of 5! Bizarre and frustrating. Slow play all around... even with 5 we were waiting. Course has reasonably good layout. Greens a little firm but rolling ok. Fairways brown in spots but possible to keep it on the grass. Fair price. 17 holes in 4+ hrs.

Value for money but SLOW play

This was my first time playing the course and I would go back again but you should avoid playing on days when there is a frost delay.

Yesterday, there was a 1-hour delay but we had a 12.40 tee time and were told they would be caught up. Unfortunately, they tried too hard and so we went out 15 min early yet had to wait on shot after shot after shot as they pushed people out too fast.

We only managed 16 holes in 5+ hours.

Course condition was good, although frequent standing water in bunkers and at the side of the fairways. Greens condition was also good although not great.

lack of maintenance

The course was not maintained well at all from the tee box and the fairway. The greens are ok but uneven but the cart path is good.

Huge disappointment

Chaotic start. No carts were available and pace of play ridiculous. Stopped at 11 because we were waiting 10-15 minutes on average per hole. Areas around fairways were in a terrible state while greens were in à sorry stat.

Much Improved

It has been a few years since playing Kokopelli as I have been put off by the terrible reviews. However, I decided to try again as recent reviews were positive. I was pleasantly surprised as the fairways were lush, greens excellent, plenty of good sand in the traps, and tee boxes good. Staff was friendly. The only real issue is all the dirt on both sides of the fairways. However, you have to treat it as if you were playing a desert course and the fairways were lined with desert where you typically lose your ball. At least with this dirt, you can find and hit your ball. I always loved the layout of this course, and the undulating greens are difficult. I'll be back.
