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.

Legit dog track

Course was in terrible condition. Fairways were 90% dirt. No starter or ranger. Greens were long and had a ton of dry patches. Tee boxes were decent for the most part. Would rather burn the cash I used to play than play here again. I wouldn’t play here if they payed me to….

No beverage cart service on a busy day with triple digit temperatures. Rate of play was rough. 18 took 5 hours, constantly waiting on groups ahead.

Dear Danharv184,

Thank you for taking the time toe leave a 3-star review, and we are extremely sorry for the pace of play during your visit. During the summer we offer beverage cart service on weekends only, the front desk team should be notifying golfers before they go out for play. I will share your review with the team. Thanks again for your feedback, and we hope you have a great weekend.

Save your money

This facility gets 1 star based on the staff who are friendly and helpful as far as the course itself I would have to say that it is the worst conditioned course I have ever played. The fact that they charge $60+ on a Sunday that is in the middle of the summer is laughable. The staff are embarrassed and state that they get that alot. If I could have quit after the 2nd hole and asked for a refund I would have but we were there with a group of 24 playing for $$$. Needless to say we ALL agreed we are never going back and to remind each other why, horrendous conditions...no grass in the fairways or rough bunkers are almost unplayable and the greens were just plain bad. It is an embarrassment for this facility to represent the Town of Gilbert. They should just give up trying to be a golf course and let some goats roam the grounds at least it would have a purpose then.

Dear tt1960,

We have made huge strides over the last six months with new sand in the bunkers, new golf carts, updated Clubhouse, etc...The team is working hard to execute a plan of action that will help improve the course. It will take some time but the team is committed to getting Kokopelli where it needs to be, the course has identity and is challenging for sure. Once again we are sorry about your visit, we hope you will give us another chance. If you would like to speak with me directly please send contact information to jruedy@arcisgolf.com.

Have a great day.

Fun in the sun

Summer golf in Mesa is hot. But, this course is still fun. Fairways still have grass, the greens rolled well. And there is plenty of fun for the money. And, I was the only person out I. The afternoon. I played as fast as I wanted. Great bang for your buck here.

This course did not seem kept up very well.

Grass throughout the course was very patchy and there were a lot of bare or dirt spots. Also the water hazards were dirty and not well maintained. Did not feel that course was in a condition that matched the cost of the round.

Not Worth the Price

The course was in terrible condition, tee boxes were missing markers, fairways were incredibly dry and mainly dirt, and the greens were in poor condition as well. On top of that, the price point was high for the condition of the course. Much nicer courses in the area for the same or cheaper price.
