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.

Conditions were terrible. Several holes had very little grass. All the municipal courses are far superior.

Used to be a nice course. I had not played it for a long time, and it is in terrible shape.

Mud mud mud
After 25 years playing here there is a reason why its so cheap. Mud everywhere. Cart got stuck 4 times. Every green had leftover mowed grass everywhere. Just lazy groundskeeper. Last time ever playing here. Get what you pay for
Dear jnadler1,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about Kokopelli Golf Club, and we are extremely sorry for the mud in certain areas of the golf course. We are actively trying to improve some barespots on the course, which requires a lot of water on a daily basis. We have seen huge improvements the last couple months, and look forward to our continued efforts to restore Kokopelli as a fun, challenging track for our clientele.
Have a great Wednesday.

Terrible Greens
When we first started on hole 10 because that’s how they had us start, there wasn’t any signage at all. We also had the greens keeper mowing the greens and to wait for him on several holes he didn’t put the flags back in and left a ton of grass cuttings on the greens.
Dear utOSyFApdwoOTNVazoti,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are extremely sorry about the signage and maintenance team still grooming during your round. I will share your review with the team so we can avoid future similar situations for our golfers. We hope you will come again soon to see us.
Thanks again, have a wonderful start to your week.

You're kidding
Who is giving reviews over 1 star? Employees padding the numbers maybe? The course is a disaster, someone call FEMA!!

One of the worst courses in the valley.
I have paid for this course three times, and I will not ever do it again. The staff was fine; the clubhouse was fine, but the course was TERRIBLE! I was hoping the wait in between rounds here had resulted in better course conditions, but each time I have played here I have been greatly disappointed. Shame on me for thinking this course would improve. Each time the fairways have been in terrible shape; it’s been dirt with some grass patches here/there. The two best fairways were roped off as cart path only. I suspect that’s because they are near Mesa Dr/McQueen and those holes can be seen from the road so they don’t want people knowing the course is in bad shape. The course has been soaked/flooded every time I have played here regardless of the time of year. There is mud just about everywhere throughout the course. It never seems to change. It’s a shame this course charges what they do for such terrible conditions, but what’s worse is enough people pay it to keep pushing Kokopelli to charge what they do. I am guessing that is why they force you to pre-pay to make a tee time via Golf Now. This was the last time I’ll ever pick this course for a round.
Dear nbateman7670,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, we are extremely happy to hear about the staff and clubhouse, and will share your review with the team. Maintenance is working hard every day to make improvements the course, specifically drainage and irrigation opportunities. We hope you will give us another chance, thanks again for your review.

Save your money
First time playing course today and will be last. The course is more dirt and mud than nice green grass. Most of fairways are dirt and mud, one hole sprinklers came on and we were soaked as well as cart and bag. Marshall came up and was not friendly and made us pick up our balls and join another group in front of us due to having several groups in a row of 2 players. We were the last group of 2 and he passed the other 2 groups and forced us to join be the ones to join one of the other twosomes in front. There are far too many other better options in the area!
Dear BOpkQhgaXvivAoT0Jvm2,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are extremely sorry about the course condition in certain areas. The team is working hard to make improvements to our fairways, we have made huge strides over the last couple months and look forward to the end of summer. Hopefully you will give us another chance.
Thanks again, and have a wonderful Sunday.

Horrible condition
This courses condition just seems to get worse and worse.
Dear StevenC TP,
Thank you for taking the time to share your visit with us, and we are extremely sorry for the course conditions in certain areas. With the intense heat it does take a lot of water to keep the course playable, and we obviously have some irrigation/drainage opportunities the team is trying to address every day. We apologize again for your visit, hopefully you will give us another chance.
Thanks again, have a great day.
