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.

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!!

Great course, just needs some improvement

Nice course. T Box, fairways and greens in good condition! Rough well it's shaggy and or dirt. DO NOT GO INTO THE TRAPS... ITS DIRT AND WEEDS. Traps need lots of work. Water holes need water on a few of them. Cleaning and edging, water and actual traps could make this a great course. Will I play again, yes. It's a nice course to keep your game in check.

Very nice gold course

This was my first time I played this course and it was very well maintained. The staff was extremely nice and the cost for a meal included for two people was outstanding m. The omelette was amazing. I would definitely play here again and recommend this course to anyone traveling to the area.

A bunker-disaster.

This course has a very interesting layout. The staff is friendly and professional. The greens were overly gimmicky, too much on the undulation. But the real drawback is that the course is covered with bunkers which are mere scrabbly dirt. No sand in them at all. Worse? They were filled with weeds. They are letting a very nice track go to pot. Kind of a shame.

If you like slow play and hard-pack dirt...

play Kokopelli.

We teed off at 1:16 pm and finished at 6:07 pm. We played behind 4 very slow moving British Columbians, two of whom could barely advance a golf ball. And to think that they make fun of Newfies.

They were told by a course staff member to let us play thru on hole # 11 and they simply refused.

I will never go back to Kokopelli

Not sure what they are doing

I’ve played here a few times, but that was a while ago. The greens were in great shape, as was the middle of the fairways (most of them). But off the fairway maintainence was just bad. And I have no clue what they are doing with the waste areas, formerly known as bunkers. I’m sorry, but I won’t be back.! That was just bad.
