Kokopelli Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Is this round over yet?! Photo submitted by u000001335906 on 01/03/2015
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

We strive to provide a great golfing experience and we'll address the issues you mentioned to ensure improvements. We appreciate your input and hope you consider giving us another chance in the future.
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

Kokopellithe
The course was in very good condition. Play was a little slow but it worked out to get our 18 holes in. I would definitely go back and play again
Hi u314161174944, thank you for your positive review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the course despite the slower play. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to having you back for another round soon.
Kokopelli
A good course could be better. The front 9 (which used to be the back 9) is tough on the eyes. Less player friendly because of the hard pan areas which seem to take up 30-40% of each hole. Some loving care to build the front 9 to resemble the back 9 would go a long way to move from a locals only course to a top tier must play course. Green speeds; challenging! Back 9 fairways; lush! Bunkering throughout; impressive & challenging! Water features; wide & deep! Customer service in all areas of operation; outstanding!
Hi Enchilara, thank you for your honest feedback about our course. We appreciate your suggestions for improvement and will take them into consideration. We're glad you enjoyed the challenging green speeds, lush back 9 fairways, impressive bunkering, deep water features, and outstanding customer service. We hope to see you back soon!

Solid Value
Course was in reasonable shape with the exception of a couple of holes. Lying water in a few places. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Hi u314164247002, thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your positive comments about our friendly and helpful staff. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of a couple of holes. We'll work on improving that. We hope to see you again soon!
The course had many dry clay areas but the but if you were on the fairways you had grass. Front 9 greens were slow and back 9 were much better. Tees were okay but a few needed cutting. Sand traps varied, some were hard with very little sand. There were no ball washers and very few garbage bins. A course map on the card or hole map at tee markers would be beneficial. The course has potential if the owners paid attention to the little details. #18 is in the best condition, no carts allowed.
Hi Dev52, thank you for your feedback on our course. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration. We strive to provide a better experience for our golfers and will work on addressing the areas you mentioned. We hope to see you again soon.
Fun day and good value for $
The course was wet due to the big rains so understandly had to stay on cart paths. Despite that, we still finished in 4 hours 15 minutes. Fairways and greens were in good shape but due to rain off the fairways were quite muddy so we just did clean and place. Carts were good and thought price was reasonable. Only surprising thing is clubhouse was closed when we got off course at 3pm but pro shop fellow was happy to grab us couple of drinks for us and others. But still think full service should be available at that time; perhaps lack of staff? Overall, a good experience!
Hi Boychuk, thank you for your review. We appreciate your understanding regarding the wet conditions and are glad to hear that you still enjoyed your round. We apologize for the clubhouse closure but are happy that our pro shop staff was able to assist you. We hope to see you again soon!

Terrible playing conditions
Fairways wet and slippery. Standing water in m low lying area. Mud areas slippery - slipped and fell and almost broke my hip. Will not play here again because course management did nothing to improve the playing conditions. Please take more pride in your course.
Hi Reza, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the wet conditions you experienced during your visit and hearing you slipped and fell. After receiving an 1" of rain we did our best to get the course ready to play. Please reach out and email our GM regarding your fall.
