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.

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.
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.
Have a great weekend.

Terrible and getting worse
We used to play this course every Sunday a few years ago. The course was in much better shape, the staff was fantastic and the range was in decent shape. Then about 6 months ago we stopped and started going to other places because the course is deteriorating at a rapid pace. We would only go to Kokopelli if every other course in the area was booked. That was the case this past Sunday and i can say without a doubt I will never be back to that dogtrack. The guy behind the desk was either in a bad mood or just had no personality. The outside service folks didn't say a word to us. I used to really enjoy talking with the main outside service guy who was there every single time we played but we were told they got rid of him. Stay far away from this place! Worst course in the state! I'd rather stay home than play this as a last resort.
Dear u000007424094,
Thank you for taking the time to share your visit with us, and we are extremely sorry about the overall experience. The team has made huge strides the last couple months with new sand in the bunkers, new golf carts, and updated Clubhouse. We will continue to execute our plan of action to improve the course conditions, and hope you will give us another chance. I will share your review with the team, we pride ourselves to go above and beyond for our guests, it sounds like we missed the mark.
Thanks again for your review, and I hope you have a great day.

Really?
Very ugly course...mostly dirt, weeds and unkept dead trees. Looks like they gave up on the course...no signs of upkeep or watering. Every hole is surrounded by swamps, junkyards, industrial buildings and ugly jungles...Even a place where some homeless people may live. They can't be proud of this one! Trust me...don't waste your money...you will be disappointed!!! Driving range is literally a dust bowl! no Grass at all!!! Staff was real friendly though.
Dear millie58,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are extremely sorry for the course conditions on certain holes.

PLEASE DO NOT PLAY HERE
This has got to be one of the worst golf courses I have ever played in my whole existence. It’s honestly embarrassing whoever maintains this course. Greens are horrible. Fairways are mud/dead grass. The “rough” is pretty much sand. Please do not ever play here.

Course is in terrible shape.
Pretty embarrassing to bring 3 of my friends to this golf course. I remember when this golf course used to be in great shape 5 years ago. Very sad how slow the play was and how bad the course was in. I will never play this course ever again unless they spend some money on it.
Dear u000003465424,

April 2023 review
The greens and the tee box were good as well as some of the fairway. One thing that we missed are the yardage marker. There was maybe two 150 marker on 18 holes. It would be much better if there was the 100 & 150 yard marker.
Dear u000003788852,
Thank you for the wonderful review, we are happy to hear about the greens, tee boxes and fairways. I will share your input about the markers, I know we have more plans to upgrade the course and driving range. Thank you again, and we hope to see you again soon.

-OMG-
Obviously anybody who plays this course has not read any of the updates or reviews I played there about 4 years ago and astounded that it is still open the reviews are about the same as they were 4 years ago so it's definitely a one and done once you play there once you'll never go back !!!!!

Poor fairways
Played this course two years ago and it was in great condition. This time, fairways were peeled back, limited grass to hit off. Course looks more like a desert that lush course. Ponds were dirty. Bunkers were mostly rock hard. Nice greens.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are sorry about the level of satisfaction in relation to the course conditions. We are making every effort to improve areas of concern, and hope you will give us another chance in the future. Have a great day.

Rough conditions
Course is only maintained along the road… everything else is burnt out and not cared for.
