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.

comparison

compared to other courses in the area, this one has not recovered well from recent storm damage and reseeding. Cart path only and many puddles by fairway run off areas. Lots of mud and traps were in very bad condition. Not a good value.

AWFUL!!!!!

Where do I start. Basically, shouldn't be open. Played this course 6 years ago and it was fine. Thought we'd try it again, big mistake. I understand overseeding and all that comes with that, but condition of this course was way beyond that. It has clearly been neglected for a number of years. Started on the first tee with no blocks on the tee boxes. Hadn't been any sand in the traps for a while. Standing water in any depressions. Any raised mounds hadn't seen grass in forever. Cart path was covered in mud in spots. Etc., etc. etc. Bottom line is that as nonlocals we felt that we had been suckered into paying to play this course. Tee-off. com could do themselves a favor by removing this course as option!!!!!

AWFULL

Hole #2 was closed and probably will be for a long time. The fairways looked more like a motocross track and where as hard as concrete. The course needs A LOT of work but no one was doing any work. It’s going to be a long time before the course is in any shape to lay.

Sad!

Terribly disappointed.. I've played this course years ago and it was a fine course.. Init's present condition, I felt like I was playing golf in a remake of Mad Max.

I can only hope the situation is temporary and they will restore the course to its former much better condition.

Total Waste of Time

Upon checking in we were told that hole 2 was closed. No big deal but there was no discount offered. There was no grass in any of the fairways on the front nine and only slightly more on the back nine. There were maintenance people all over but the place but it was hard to tell what they were trying to accomplish. Most of the bunkers were bare. There was no sand at all. The few that had sand were in such bad shape that you couldn’t play out of those either. The greens rolled of but even a very high shot would hit hard and roll off the back. You had to hit it short of the green and let it roll up on every hole.

The cart girl was. Dry nice and the guy working in the food area worked his butt off to keep things moving. I’m not going back. Don’t go or you’ll feel ripped off too.

Yikes

This course used to be in pretty amazing condition 10 years ago. It now might be the worst course I've ever played on. I'm sure they'll be closing the doors soon unless it gets bought out. Please don't waste your money. Staff was friendly though!

Worst golf course in Arizona

Everything about this golf course is rundown snd neglected. From the tee box to the greens and everything in between us in poor condition. The driving range is nothing but a dirt lot. There is grass growing in the sand traps and the water hazards are nothing but marsh pits and a breeding ground for mosquitos. DO NOT PLAY THIS GOLF COURSE it is not worth it even if it was free to play.

Terrible

The only thing good was the course layout. The fairways looked like a motocross track. What used to be sand traps need weed whacked. Hole #2 is closed and has been & will be closed for a long time. The other 17 holes need major work.

Avoid this Dump

I’ve played here plenty and I’ve shot decently but today was no bueno not because of me (I’m a 9)—I had some bad shots of course but the ones that were good didn’t stay on the green as the greens don’t hold. There is no grass in the “fairways” and the course is in garbage shape. They are going to say “we are overseeding in a few days” and that is fair but if so, why are you charging premium prices this close to it? Bunkers in horrible shape, no sand, just hard pan with grass. This course could be great but they have consistently put no money and time in to it and I swear it off and then end up here 2-3 times per year. It’s never as pristine as it should be and the prices are always out of the sync with the conditions. Lower the price and I’ll accept the course conditions as “you get what you pay for”. Please, fix this place up as the layout is a great challenge, food and employees very nice. The course tho, oh man it’s just not up to par.

Terrible golf course

This was the worse-condition golf course I have ever played. Nothing before even comes close to these horrible conditions. Almost unimaginable. It was a joke.

Don't go there! Save your money!

Construction zone

Disappointed about the visit to the course. Had passed on another booking after seeing the competition was over seeding. So I picked this course instead since there were no course alerts on the booking. Once arrived the course was scalped for over seeding and was closing next week for course renovations for a month. Hole 2 was closed. The pro in the shop seemed less than empathetic after we mentioned the conditions at the turn. Not sure I come back to see the renovations.

Not worth it

Booked through Golf Now. Reaching the course, no greeted us or asked to help us with out bags. Carts were unattended. SIGNAGE IS TERRIBLE! Had to ask the location of the first tee and for the rest of the day confusion reigned at times, trying to make our way around the course.

As for conditions, the course as a whole seems beaten, neglected and not appreciated. Many areas of dirt, trash, and dead trees. Sad.
