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.

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.

Worse Course of 12 played in 2 weeks

I would give this course a zero if that was available. I don’t want to get I don’t want to get the album This course must be in trouble financially, because they are spending what appears to be zero dollars to maintain the golf course; e.g. no litter pick up, no sand in bunkers, and they are grown over with grass or weeds, no water in the ball washer on the first tee. Greens were apparently overseeded and failed. Fairways are better on some of the back holes…but poorly maintained. No pride in ownership… bunkers

OK that’s are strategically placed, but they are more like dirt holes, not bunkers. Dirty course…garbage overflowing, plastic litter along ponds, a dead duck in the water, a duck head lying on Hole 18, dead fish in a pond. Litter litter litter is all over the place.

Stay away

I took a picture of a disgusting "sand trap" that I sadly can't upload here. There is dirt everywhere, "greens" hardly have grass, no sand in the bunkers, weeds in the bunkers, terrible drainage and tee boxes are horrendous. They put the holes in the worst spots possible on the already terrible greens. $100 per person to play is a total rip off!

The only redeeming quality is that the staff are super friendly. I'd suggest taking your money elsewhere.

Poor conditions!

The course looked as if it never received any maintenance. Tee boxes were not marked. Bunkers did not have any sand. Actual grass on course and fairways was quite sparse. The overall quality of the course was quite poor and truly not worth the $82.50 for the round. I would be careful of having them use your site to promote a tee time. I play a lot of golf in the Phoenix area and thought this course was in terrible shape for what they charge. Should have asked for a refund!!
