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.

Tough shape

Played here every time I get back to Phoenix area. Greens and Tee Boxes were good, but that’s it. Not the shape I remember. Overpriced for conditions.

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.

On the fence

Current front 9, which would have been back some time ago, is in bad condition. Traps look like dirt holes and the rough is rough! There is an ivy type of grass growing in the rough areas and you cannot find a ball hit in it. 10-18 is not bad but again bunkers are awful!

Great practice and warm-up areas. Staff was fantastic.

I saw bad reviews and decided to see for myself and the price, I could chance it. I like the layout but the course needs some love!

Terrible course

The course was cartpath only, the rough terrible, tall weeds that should have been mown, could not find you ball if you got off the fairways, and sometimes in the fairways because some of it was not mowed. This used to be a premier golf course but has really gone down hill. Invited 4 of my friends from out of town to golf her telling them this was really a great course and we were all very disappointed . Probably will not golf here again.

The course is a difficult layout, having many low areas of the golf course filled.with casual water made it not fun. The abundance of hog.weed around the course is unsightly and should immediately be eradicated. I hope that course management will clean up the weeds and drain the water.

I would not play this course again.

The course is in ok shape, but need to do something about the weeds/clover in fairways and add some sand to the traps.

We were limited to cart paths only due to the rain in the past days put was still well playable. Unfortunately the driving range was closed due to the wet conditions as well.

The current management is doing their best to get this course turned back around and restored to it's previous state and it can't happen overnight, I do feel they are on the right path.
