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.

Course needs to be more honest with the condition of course and what one pays, not worth the $70.00.

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.

Kokopelli Golf Course

Course is in need of some major attention, especially the sand traps. The greens are in poor condition, and the side areas along the fairways are a mess,,,, but saying all that, the course layout is one of the better ones we've played on this year. Current management has decided to let things go, and rake in the profits. Kokopelli in the right hands could be a treasure find, but that's not about to happen any time soon, and course will retain it's med. low average.

Worse than a cow pasture

This shouldn't even be called a golf course. To call it a cow pasture is an insult to the dairy industry. Charging $80 to play this course is a crime, they should pay you. Finding a blade of grass is a miracle, the bunkers are devoid of anything except water, and several holes didn't even have tee box markers. The worse course I've played on since I was here a year ago, never again!

Don't waste your money

The overall course was very run down and poorly maintained . The sand traps full of weeds and were like concert . The tee boxes had so many broken tees and a lot of them had missing tee markers. This course is not worth your money or time. So many other nice golf courses to choose from, don't choose this one!

Disappointed

This was our first visit to Kokopelli and we were very much looking forward to playing a course we hadn't played before. We were playing myself, my wife and our son - The course was running on time, however they were really backed up with carts and food because they had a morning 9 holes with breakfast special going on. The starter told my wife that she would need to ride with the 4th person. When my wife said she was not comfortable with doing that, the starter said that she would have to, that those were the rules, etc. When we politely plead our case, given it would be an unknown man riding with a woman, he insisted that we would need to take it up with the manager. The manager said to give the 4th person his own cart. (Which, when we saw him, he already had his cart). The rest of the staff were pleasant, and efficient. However the starter's unnecessary drama and thrash did not make us feel welcome or comfortable. The course was pretty beat up and the pace was really slow. I wouldn't recommend this course and won't be playing it again.

Course is in Terrible Condition

The course has potential to be great but is in terrible condition. The bunkers are overgrown with weeds and have no sand. The greens are lumpy and not maintained. Overall there is just a lack of maintenance on this course. It was not even close to being worth the dollars we paid to play.

Avoid unless nowhere else to play

Giving this course 1 star overall. First time playing this course and brought a friend from out of town and I was embarrassed to bring him here. No tee markers on half the tee boxes. Sand traps have not been maintained for at least 6 months. Grass and weeds growing in them. Pins were places less than 3 feet from fairway on extreme downslopes. Impossible to putt and had to pick up our ball on about 5 holes. Cart died on the back 9. Called the clubhouse and waited over 20 minutes and had to start walking to keep the pace of play going. Ended up having to walk back to the clubhouse. No one working outside and helped ourself to another cart. Entire course was littered with trash from in the fairway, to the bunkers and water hazards. Will not be returning and cannot recommend to anyone.
