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.

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.

I paid $90 for 18 holes that at most should have cost $60 considering the conditions of the course. Very disappointing. Would not play it again unless it was under $50 and then would think about it. Can’t really think of anything good to say. Sorry

Not in good shape.

Fairways and greens were OK. Rough was terrible, frequently bare areas. Sand traps were terrible as well, with grass growing in them, and never raked and sand in the traps is useless. definitely not worth the price.

Yikes

For the $$ charged, l expect much more. Very poor drainage, lots of standing water, and 2 days after rain. No sand in the bunkers, were told by the people we golfed with, that they were told to play them all as ground under repair. Half the tee box markers were missing, garbage cans overflowing, greens were in rough shape. Guys golfing in muscle shirts?? Range balls all over the place.

VERY DISAPPOINTING!!

Meh

Fairways were in terrible shape and bunkers even worse. Greens were fine. Paying $100 to not have driving range access or even water in the cart was a bit much.

Layout was fine, tight fairways means driver has to be straight. Just not even close to value for $$.

Course in poor shape

Course could be an enjoyable play but was in pathetic condition from tee boxes to greens, totally ridiculous charging $90 for a trip around this track when not worth 1/2 that, will not play again and unfortunately will not recommend to anyone either

Save your Money

The course was in very poor condition. Not sure why there was no sand in the traps, awful. No water in ball washers. Greens slow with many ball divots. On course washroom porta facilities were over flowing. Any of the course associates that we met both on & in the clubhouse were very good. This course used to be a good course to play but has gone down hill. Wouldn't play this course again, the value wasn't even close to what golfers should expect in a golf course. Save your money, hitting balls on a range would be a better experience than playing this course.

Kokopelli

First a frost delay. Then delays on every hole. This is golf in Arizona from Feb-April. Sand traps are atrocious-pulled ball out of every one. Other players stated same thing.

I did notice the massive increase in pricing EVERYWHERE. A lot of gouging going on in Phoenix area. Many people I spoke with said same thing-Not happy.

Could be Better

Once again no ball ball washers on any tee boxes. Traps are all harder than a rock. Uneven grass cut on the fairways and around the greens. This course could be real nice with some attention. Hard to recommend it the way it is right now.

Absolute dog water!

Took a couple friends of mine and they are still learning and we let people play threw and staff member drove up and started yelling at us “to pick it up” and we tried to explain the situation and all he said was “I don’t care figure it out!” Super unprofessional we tried to talk to management and we were told he couldn’t be bothered just to find out later he was laughing with the guy who was yelling at us with all that being said if it’s not meant for new golfers that should really be disclosed also the course is really bad I seen someone compare it to a cow pasture and it’s not to far off…

Unfriendly staff

Slow pace and some of staff members thought they can just jump holes in front of patrons. The sand traps are full of mud and weeds and locking any yardage markers on the course.
