Course Highlights
The course layout consistently earns praise for its rolling hills, moguls, and long fairways that create a genuinely challenging round. Friendly staff and reasonable rates make this a smart alternative to pricier options in the Phoenix area.

Rating 72.1

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
