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.

Absolutely awful.

This course is an embarrassment to the Phoenix metro area. Don't waste your time or money.

The mud was terrible, no course Marshall to check pace of play had to phone in, and no double check a few holes later, so improvement was short term.

No Marshall on the course

It had rained and play was cart path only BUT the course had no Marshall. We called in to the golf shop to have to send someone out BUT they only came out once but the problem never ended. Almost a 5 hour round. The mud was one thing, but no Marshall and no check in wasn’t good at all with a full tee sheet. No discount for the amount of tons of mud on the course either.

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 !!!!!
