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.

Own decision

Reading the reviews this course did not sound great. However we choose to play there anyway to make our own decision. Love the course. Yes needs some work but my understanding is they are slowly working on that. Will be such a nice course when the work is done.

The worst bunker conditions you will ever see

The condition of fairways and greens are ok, below average I’d say, but the bunkers were the worst imaginable. Absolutely no sand. Only weeds and hard pack dirt. Every single bunker is in this kind of condition. I’ll never play an Arcis course again. The rate wasn’t bad, but definitely not worth any price. Even on some greens the former holes aren’t level with the rest of the green. But overall just the horrific bunkers resulted in this 1 star rating. Don’t play there.

OMG

This course is in the worst condition of any course I've played....ever!!! The pace of play was equally as brutal. It took us over 5.5 hours to play. I would not recommend playing here...ever!!!! It's too bad because the last time I played here was around 5 years ago and it was in much better shape. The cart girl even said she'd come around again after asking us on the second hole if we needed anything and we didn't see her again.

Started 2:50 ish and ended up 11 hole.

As usual, no sand in the sand traps except some holes. Delayed several groups almost every hole except first and second hole....

this course could be a real gem if labor was put into some upkeep. Bunkers were totally unplayable, dead spots on fairways greens were great. And put a sign up how to get to the 1st tee box!

Didn’t finish playing 18

Played in Jan

First time playing here

Loved the rolling hills

Lots of weeds and sand traps were unplayable

Staff was great

It took 2 1/2 hours to play 9 so we did not get all 18 holes played

Being here from Iowa to play golf and not finish our round was disappointing

Needed a Ranger to keep play moving

Course has potential but very poor maintaince

I’ve never seen a golf course that just did not care about the curse conditions. Sand traps are just a hazard for a free drop. No sand. Please put some money in this course! It can be good!!

Poor playing Conditions

Overgrown and turned into unplayable Santraps

Aesthetics not well groomed

Tee markers are a guess for the position

No directional arrows

Perimeter play is impossible

Fairways are very narrow as a result no maintenance in the rough (under statement)

The course was not overall was a mess.

Bunkers were not playable.No sand,not groomed and growing weeds in 95%of them.

If your tee shot was off the fairway,you were hitting off of hard clay.Tree areas were not trimmed of broad leafed weeds.

If the course was more manicured it would be a nice course to suggest.There are better courses to choose from despite what I paid.Mike

Goat Ranch

This place use to be nice and fun but apparently a farmer or sheppard bought the course and has goats taking care of it. Plenty of dirt and clover to satisfy even the most standard leprechaun.

This was one of the worst rounds we had this season. The course condition is awful. There was standing water everywhere, the waste areas were unplayable and both the fairways and greens were bare in many spots.

Greens were good. Large patches of weeds needed mowing and many bodies of water that could be pumped. The traps were the worse - many with no sand and so bad they had grass growing in them - this is really bad.
