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.

Poor condition

I have yet to play this course not overwatered and flooded. Hit a tee shot in the fairway and you will find it in mud. Your shoes will be muddy for sure. Definitely WAY overpriced for what it is.

Low price, low value

Sand traps were crap

No signs to first hole, hole 10 or any other hole for that matter

Decent tee boxes, fairways and greens.

Everything else was crap

Wouldn’t recommend or go back again

Don’t play there

Very nice people. But they have stopped totally taking care of the course. Bunkers not playable. Hard pan just off the fairways. Sprinkler system must be having problems. Puddles in many areas not from rain but broken sprinklers.

This a really a great track. We used to play it often. It has now reached the unplayable list.

I know the snow birds will pay anything and no one feels that they need to put any care in the course but this was beyond belief.

The course is in pretty tough shape. There was no sand in the bunkers. They had just over seeded so it was cart path only.It looked as though the fairways had not beed cut in a few weeks and all the greens were in tough shape. We played there in 2018 at the same time of year and it was in great shape!! that's why we went back. Hopefully they can get it back.

Save your money!!!

Went here with two buddies today - will never go again. The course conditions were abysmal.

One thing to note at the top, and this isn’t a knock on the course but something to know - this is a very challenging course. The fairways are the narrowest I’ve ever played, water is in play a bit, and you never have a flat lie. If you’re looking for an easy time with buddies, this is not your course.

Now, there is 0 sand in any of the bunkers. I’m not saying saying the sand is in poor condition, I’m saying it was nonexistent. Half the bunkers had fungus growing in them.

About half the holes have rough for fairways. We lost 7 balls off the tee literally in the fairway because the grass was so long. I’m talking around 5 inches at least. You’d think you hit it in a penalty area.

The greens were rock solid. I hit a lob wedge from 60 out and landed it about 5 feet short of a red flag, where it proceeded to launch through the entire green and off the back side. This was an issue on every hole, making chipping and wedging in incredibly difficult.

Pace of play was actually good, but I put three stars because we were rushed by the marshal multiple times even though we finished the front nine in 2:15 and the back nine in 2 flat - average time for a round and in accordance with their pace of play rules. It’s not our fault their was a two-some in front of us who slept us in the dust, and a three-some behind us who were probably +5 handicaps based off how they were playing. They were never waiting more than 5 minutes, and if they wanted to play through, we would’ve let them.

The layout of the greens were nice, with challenging hills and breaks. But they weren’t rolled properly or consistently so the speed was vastly different from hole to hole.

Even the carts weren’t very nice, and the entire course was covered in goose crap. I get to a point, this is going to happen, but not the entire course. Shows they don’t clean it up at all. Also, on holes 9 and 10, don’t use a yellow ball - the holes border the driving range which doesn’t have a back net so there’s just balls all over these holes.

I can’t believe I spent $70 to play here. This course should be $20, and I still probably wouldn’t go.

Sand traps are awful with no sand in all but 4 or 5and where there is sand they are poorly maintained.

Poor grass growth on sides of fairways. Then when muddy are extremely slick.

Course is rundown.

Unfortunately this course is run down and the fairways were in poor condition. The staff at the desk was friendly but no information given regarding the course or when you were called to the first tee. It was cart path only but no one informed us of that until the marshal saw us driving on the course. Would not play here again unless it was very much improved. Too bad it use to be great.

Golf course condition

We had played this course about 7 yrs ago. What difference those yrs make. Today was $69. The course was in terrible shape. Fairways were not mowed for days, mud everywhere and greens were bumpy and dead patches everywhere. A week of golf in phoenix and this was the worst course we played. PLEASE STAY AWAY, it’s a rip off.

Great Management

We started with the threat of rain. By the 8th hole, we were soaked. Went to the clubhouse. there was no way we could continue and finish the 18 holes. They refunded half of our green fees. even though we booked through Golf Now. Couldn't have been better. Very happy with the service/management.
