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
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.
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.
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.

We apologize for the issues you faced with the frost delay and the pacing of play. We'll take your comments into consideration for future improvements.
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.
Hi David, thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments about the course maintenance and will definitely take them into consideration. We're glad to hear that you found the greens and cart path to be in good condition. We hope to provide an even better experience for you in the future.

Didn’t get a refund after it was cancelled in the rain.
Hi Rock1021, I apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the cancellation. If you booked through GolfNow please contact them directly, if booked through our website please email me and we can take care of your refund armando.najera@arcisgolf.com
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.
Hi u314159491554, thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the availability of carts and the pace of play. We'll address these issues to ensure a better experience for our future customers. We appreciate your patience and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again.
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.
Sinkster,
Thank you for the positive review we have been hard at work. We are glad that it has not gone unnoticed. We will continue to make improvements. Thank You.
Bang for buck
Course looks great after seeding. Free breakfast after round and nice staff
Thank you for taking the time to leave the amazing review Matt. 9 hole and breakfast is a great package.
Thank you for the positive review. We couldn't agree more and will continue to make improvements.
Sorry we fell short of expectations we will continue to make improvements. We always want to give a 5 year experience.
We are sorry we fell short of expectations. We hope to have you back out here again as we continue to make improvements.
Thank you Chuck for the 5 star review. We expect nothing but a 5 star experience.
Chuck,
Thank you for the 5 star review!
Not a great challenging course
I didn't think the course was in great condition and will be very muddy if there was any moisture around.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We have and will continue to make improvements to the course. Thank you and hope to have you back out again soon.
