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
I was warned....
First Off, restaurant staff was friendly and polite, food was good. Course layout was odd, greens okay, fairways terrible. Overall, poorly maintained....will not return.

They are improving
Been a few months since I last played and noticed the Sand Traps are being filled and have sand! I can see the crew trying to improve the course and it shows. There are a few more improvements needed like the rough around fairways, water holes needing water and trimmed water bushes to showcase the design better. Overall if you hit in the fairways your good to go. Tee boxes, greens are in great condition.
Dear dasudevil,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and for the recognition in regards to the course improvements. The team is working hard and passionate about continued enhancements to the course, specifically the areas you mentioned. Please help spread the word for us, don't be a stranger and we hope to see you again soon.

The fairways were well maintained for the beginning of the summer season. The Tee’s were confusing at times as they were not marked properly to identify skill level. Even though the summer staff reduction had begun, the remaining staff was friendly and most helpful. Enjoyed the day and the round with my daughter.
Dear Ragreen731,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are extremely to hear about the fairways. The team is executing a plan of action to address areas of opportunity on the course, we should have the tee marker issue resolved soon. I will share your review with the team, please help spread the word for Kokopelli, and we hope to see you and your daughter again soon.
Have a great Sunday.

Not worth any more than $35
Course continues to fall apart with not much potential in the near future. Needs a complete overhaul to charge anymore than $35
Dear u062517172,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are extremely sorry for the course conditions in certain areas. We have made huge improvements the last couple months with new sand in the bunkers, new golf carts and updated Clubhouse.

Stay on the fairway
It's a great course if you hit the fairway. If you don't, you're in dirt. Great sand in the traps but no water in the hidden holes.
Dear Cllagesse,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, we appreciate the recognition of the fairways and new sand. The team is working hard to address other areas of opportunity. Hopefully we will see you again soon.
Have a great start to your week.

Mediocre at best
Take your standards for playing, cut it in half and take another 20% off, that’s what you’ll get here. Confusing, not well marked tee boxes, bar staff choking out an other employee (yes, that actually happened), missing tee box markers and horribly maintained greens. This is the “cheap” spot we go to practice a little bit, but would never go to play an even remotely serious round of golf. Could be a really solid course if they put the slightest amount of effort into maintaining.
Dear u000008108915,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, it sounds like we failed on multiple levels during the visit. I would love to learn more, and kindly request to contact you directly at your earliest convenience. Please send the best phone number to be reach to jruedy@arcisgolf.com. I look forward to hearing from you, and thanks again for sharing your experience with us. Have a great day.

Greens are in bad shape
This course demands $78 for a round of golf but does not present value. Greens are in bad shape. Course is flooded with water all over. Many many barren patches right in the middle of the fairway. It is in in bad condition.
Dear u000003394769,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are sorry about the standing water and bare spots in certain locations.

Swamp
Had first tee time and clubhouse opened 3 minutes before tee time. Course is a swamp, I think they flood it every night. Not sure why it's so muddy since every other course I play in the area isn't like this.
Dear Edward,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are sorry about the standing water in places. We are working hard to address irrigation and drainage opportunities on the course. We hope you will give us another chance. Thank you again.

Getting better.
This course has undergone a lot of changes since i played it last year. They have done a really good job with fixing up the course (it was in rough shape last time). New carts too. Things are on the up-&-up at Kokopelli.
Dear Brightwine,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are pleased to hear about the positive changes at Kokopelli. The team is working hard to execute a plan of action to continue our improvements. Please help spread the word for us, don't be a stranger and we hope to see you again soon.

Look elsewhere
If you have 10 hours to spare to play a golf course with the worst pace of play I have ever experience. Pro shop could care less about it and god forbid if you call Golf Now to let them know about your experience. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else quickly and delete your Golf Now app.
Dear u077112104,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we apologize for the pace of play during your visit. I will share your review with the team, and we hope to see you again soon.
