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.

Pace of play terrible

No on course communication regarding pace, no reason for slow play. 5+ hrs is way too long

I should get my money back, or at least a credit to play somewhere else.

Needs help

A well designed course that has fallen into neglect; it's pretty pathetic when the tee boxes don't even have two markers to tee off in between. Someone should purchase this course, and fix it up to playable condition. The layout is nice, and it has potential to be a great course.

Challenging course in more ways than one.

Lots of hazards and many tight fairways = a high slope rating.

What makes the course really hard are the conditions... the bunkers are a joke (no sand, but filled with rocks, dirt, dead grass, live grass, mud water and weeds galore). This coarse has lots of dirt/desert areas and lots of standing/casual water. And, many of the rough areas just off the fairways are covered with unusual weeds wherein balls just disappear appear.

This coarse would be fabulous if they worked on improving the aforementioned poor conditions

Grass needs to be cut.

We were 4 and a half hours out and still has 5 holes to go. Wait time is unacceptable ! Need a ranger out there to move the game along.. we were disgusted with this course. Never coming back. There's too many better courses in area !!!!!

In very poor shape

Have played this course in previous years and always hoping it has improved but this will probably be the last time we play this course. High weeds all along the fairways and lots of standing water in the fairways if your ball lands in it you will not find your ball.it, used to be one of my favorites so pretty disappointed in the maintenance of this course. The staff is very friendly guess thats the best I can say about this course.

We had four guys. Not a one scored under 100. We usually score high 80’s to lower 90’s. We played from the t boxes that were around 5800 yards. We found fairways very difficult to hit from. Mounds on the side. You need to keep in the center of fairways.

We found coarse very difficult as we scattered the ball all around. Believe you need to have a handy cap from 10 to 15.

The greens were good.

Very very slow

Not sure why there was no Marshal checking on pace but it was ridiculously slow the first 9. Then because of no sign to call ahead for food on the turnaround we had to wait for at least 30min for food to continue. To top it off they forgot 1 of the items which is why it took 30min and not 20min.

Back nine was not nearly as slow but was still not moving as it should.

Needs Work

lots of dead areas, most bunkers looked to be abandoned, a couple of low HC's I played with suggested they turn some bunkers into grass if they are not going to maintain them, they also took some free lifts out as some bunkers were nothing but hard packed clay.
