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.

There are many more courses in the area that are in much better shape for the dollar spent.

Not worth even half the price

This course is terrible. First of all, the drainage must be atrocious. The last time it rained was the Wednesday evening prior to our Sunday round at 11:45 AM. There was standing water on nearly every hole. Deep, murky standing water just a few feet off the fairways. My group of 3 lost at least 8 balls into these large, deep areas that should have no water. Most other courses would have been completely dry by now, or at the very least, not had a ton of standing water like this. In addition, it is Winter/Spring, and most courses are in immaculate shape, as the weather is perfect for beautiful grass. Not here. The grass abruptly stops to just hardpan dirt just off each fairway, and the tops of most hills/crests in play are just bald dirt. The tee boxes hadn't been mowed and nearly all were completely uneven. It was very difficult to find a flat spot to tee off from. I must also mention the multiple homeless tents just a few feet off the tee boxes along the railroad tracks. on the front 9. The pace was excruciatingly slow. From Hole 1, all the way through, we were waiting 5-10 minutes just to tee off. No marshal to enforce pace of play, no one stopping by letting us know they were trying to move it along. Our time to play was just short of 5 hours. I will say a couple good things, it isn't all negative. The greens were in very good shape and they just put new sand in the bunkers. It still very loose and soft, but way better than the cement found in a lot of other courses bunkers. I wouldn't play this place again for more than $40, however. The standing water 4 and half days after the last rain is unacceptable, along with the poor grass upkeep anywhere other than the green.

Don't bother on Saturdays

Good things first - great restaurant, staff were very friendly. Range wasn't over crowded, and the people playing all seemed quite nice.

The bad - no one expects to break land speed records on a Saturday, but my 2:19 tee time made me think I'd still be able to get 18 in with darkness hitting around 7. I ended up leaving after 16 holes and 4 and a half hours. Pace of play was SO bad - and, the course was set up in weird ways. Standing water - which is no fault of the course - but - the greenskeeper had pins in illegal positions - causing balls to roll off the greens on putts and not make things faster. It's Saturday! Also, putting the pin in areas of the green with severe damage when there was a ton of area to put it in good grass.

The marshall was around multiple times, never said anything to anyone - might have helped if he could have pushed pace along. Just not worth it on Saturdays.

Felt like I should be riding a BMX bike on the course, not playing golf. More dirt than grass.

Not Good!

The course was in terrible condition. Half of all fairways was dirt. Weeds in all of the bunkers. New sand in the bunkers was not raked and we lost balls in them. I told a friend that I played here and his comment was " it is a goat track" They needs goats on the course to eat all of the weeds.

Poor Kokopelli

This course could be a lot of fun but it is in such poor shape. Fix it up.

You are super busy so it isnt because you are not making money so put some back into it

Below par

Several t boxes were not mowed. Landscaping was not kept up. Lots of standing water throughout and we observed some trash lying on the corse as well. Bare spots of dirt all over and weeds littered the bunkers. Bunkers had way too much sand and were not raked.

Did the people giving 4 stars actually play this joke? Maybe they're employees trying to pad the reviews.

I used to play here a bunch and it was a decent course. Looks like they've really let it go. Fairway grass was long, lots of standing water (not intentional) and spotty greens. I was embarassed to have invited my friend out to play there

Not great

Lots of standing water on the course for no reason. Huge mounds of dirt not seeded areas. Lost balls in puddles in the fairway and lost one in a trap. Holes near the road look great the rest of the course is very rough. Bare dirt mounds in every hole for 75$ in March. Really nice people work here but I would not come back to play I’m afraid. Seems under staffed. One person at the food/ bar in the clubhouse and seemed confused. They could do so much better.
