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.

Not in the best condition
Have seen the course in much better condition in prior years.
Everything was good except it took 4 hours 45 minutes and no ranger to move people along. Also some dirt areas in the rough
Hi Waltet! Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the delay and lack of staff presence during your visit. We'll make sure to address these issues to ensure a smoother experience for our guests. We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back soon.
Thank you for the rating, CanDen. If you’d like to share any details about your experience, we are always looking for ways to improve.
Hi pegbbcds, thanks so much for rating us. Is there anything you’d like to share that we can pass along to the team?
Thank you for the great rating. We’d love to learn more about what we did to earn it!
Small Mounds
Wasn’t expecting such small mounds on the course. It was different having little mounds everywhere. It was a little muddy after the rain the day before but nothing too bad. Pace of play was a little slow considering it was a chilly day. I enjoyed playing and would come back again!
Hi Peg, thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback about the small mounds on the course and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the muddy conditions. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed playing and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Thanks for the rating. We’d love to learn more about what we did to earn it!
Course was great. Staff needs to clean bathrooms on course more often - once a week is not enough. Ladies bathroom in clubhouse also did not have toilet paper.
Hi RG7EBC78495B9A51CE3C, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your positive review of the course. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the cleanliness of the bathrooms. We'll address this issue with our staff to ensure it's taken care of. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
SLOW
Do not play here unless you want to play a 5 hour round. No ranger on site to move the pace along. Seems everyone is playing at their own pace without consideration of other. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who goes out to actually enjoy the game of golf. This course is for beginners or people going out for a good time, not to play golf.
Hi u314163923876, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your thoughts on the pace of play and will take them into consideration. We strive to create an enjoyable experience for all golfers, regardless of skill level. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Solid - a bit slow - ran out of daylight
I haven't played Kokopelli in several years due to it being too unforgiving at my skill level.
I've improved a bit and thought I'd give it another go. Course is looking pretty good, better than I remember (say about 4 years ago-ish?). I still have a tendency to find myself in trouble, but still in play, so I was hitting from the dirt on a few holes, but the fairway and green quality was great! The info card said round time of 4:30 was about spot on - in fact we were playing a little faster, but we ran out of daylight about 5:25 and with a 2:01 Tee time, we couldn't finish. It is a real bummer when the twilight rate doesn't kick in until there is no way to finish your round. The course is decent, it was in good shape - especially if you consistently find the fairway and the greens were nice. I'll play again!
Hi rcmeister16, thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Kokopelli. We're glad to hear that you found the course in good shape and enjoyed the fairway and green quality. We apologize for the timing issue and hope to provide a better experience for you next time.
Getting there
The course conditions have improved. But the pace of play was extremely slow. Tee off at 12:22 and made it in just before dark.
Hi Loftus, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you noticed improvements in the course conditions. We apologize for the slow pace of play you experienced and will work on addressing this issue. We appreciate your patience and hope to provide a better experience for you in the future.
Good value
Good round of golf. Reasonable, pleasant staff. Course in fairly good shape. Need distance markers on course. Need ball washers.
Hi squashboy1, thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your round of golf and found our staff pleasant. We appreciate your suggestions regarding distance markers and ball washers, and we'll definitely take them into consideration. We hope to see you again soon!
1st time playing Kokopelli
First time playing Kokopelli and I was pleased with the course layout and the difficulty of the course. Not a lot of crazy water hazards but it does wind through a neighborhood. Couple of the pins were in really challenging pin locations but it was sprinkled throughout the course which quickly can humble a golfer.
Course was very muddy and really really wet, everything, shoes, clubs, bags had to be thoroughly washed after.
Cart staff at the pro shop/start was nonexistent, no one out to set up the carts or offload the carts at the end of the round, cart girl was friendly and around regularly.
Hi thaaccident, thank you for your review and positive feedback on the course layout and difficulty. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the muddy conditions and lack of cart staff. Your comments will be shared with the appropriate teams for improvement. We appreciate your business and hope to see you again soon.
We plan to come again when we know pace will be better as I love the course and wanted the wife to play final 9 holes.We originally started at about 2pm and barely made hole 9 in dark so you can understand frustration.Thankyou.
Especially paying good money to golf there.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We hope to get that 4th and 5th star next time.
What you don’t see can deceive
All the holes and landscaping that is viewable from public streets look like a beautifully manicured golf course should look; but once you hit the back side there’s standing water, little ponds inside traps and bunkers(if that’s what the dirt holes are supposed to be), large swaths of dirt meandering through the fairways. And yet, there were large mud holes you could tell were once filled with water to provide a legitimate hazard. Maybe a little investment into some quality golf course maintenance and a landscaping company specializing in golf courses for the future?
It’s a challenging layout for AZ courses and even with a frost delay we were able to finish putting on 18 as the sun was setting.
Hi ISrX0agwqhNhSuqHp0hb, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your compliments on the manicured areas visible from public streets. We apologize for the challenges you encountered on the back side. We will take your suggestions into consideration for future improvements. We're glad you were able to finish your round despite the delay.
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.
Hi Winchester63, thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for the chaotic start to your day and any frustration it caused. We appreciate your positive comments on the course layout and fair pricing. We'll work on improving the pace of play to ensure a more enjoyable experience for you in the future.
