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.

Rating 72.1

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.

Needs serious renovation

I’ve played kokopelli for many years and the quality has gotten worse every year. It’s now to the point where I’d rather play somewhere else. The range was closed due to serious flooding, the beverage cart wasn’t even out because they didn’t have enough business. Most of the course has significant drainage problems so they get stagnant water pooling all over the course including the cart path. The bunkers are abandoned, most of them have moss and plants growing in them and that’s the ones that aren’t under water. One of the holes is closed due to renovations so you don’t even get to play 18 and the rest of the holes have huge bare spots and weed ridden fairways. It’s very disappointing that the course has fallen off this much, but if ownership doesn’t put serious money into fixing it I probably won’t play here anymore

Poor conditions!

Years ago, this golf course was a delight to play but now, it’s not worth the $30 fee! Very sad playing conditions! The fairways are in terrible conditions!

The greens are in average conditions’

I won’t go back!

Needs to be closed down.

Mud, mosquitoes, dirt, course is flipped. Golf carts stuck in the mud Hole 2 closed down not allowed to play. This is now the worst course in Arizona.

Horrible course

What a joke of a course. The condition of the course were horrendous. The bunkers are either hard as concrete or there are actual weeds/grass growing in them. The fairways are overgrown so much that at times it was difficult to find your ball. If you hit it in the rough you’ll never find your ball. Your best bet is to hit your ball into the desert as that is where you will have your best chance of finding it. I was so disappointed with this course that I called it a day after 9 holes. I will never play this course again.

Koko needs lots of TLC

Not enough grass on the holes on the front 9

Lots of mud from over watering

Back 9 was better

None of the sand traps had sand weeds growing in them very unkept

Only saving grace greens were very good if not excellent on some holes

Someone PLEASE HELP this course!

Just Wow! SHAME ON ME! Shame on me for giving Kokopelli another shot. 🤦‍♂️ My wife likes to play with me and we’ve played all the easier tracks every week and thought “let’s give it one more shot since we haven’t played there in 9 months (even though we promised never again). If they weren’t doing a full remodel on their driving range I would swear they are just about ready to shut it down. The course was literally impossible to play. We were the only ones on the course.

Very disappointing for a course that has great potential.

Why is this course still open ?

It is amazing how this course is still open, due to the fact that after anybody plays this course one time they will never ever play it or recommend it to anyone again,

It would seem after being open for so long and reading reviews that are so horrific there still must be first time golfers and a steady stream of first-time golfers who attempt to think this is going to be an actual golf course,

Hopefully you are reading this review before thinking about playing this course believe me and all the other reviews it is definitely not worth the time and or your money

Don't waste your money!

This course is in terrible condition. I was extremely disappointed in the condition of the course for that price. One hole was completely closed, the rest were mostly dirt, swamp, or the muddy in between.

Trash

This is by far the worst golf course I have ever played in my 30 years of playing golf. It is insulting that they charge $54 to play this piece of garbage. The fairways were half grass (weeds) and half dirt. The tee boxes were trash and the bunkers had no sand in them. They couldn't open the driving range that day because it rained and the entire driving range was dirt/mud. Stay away from this dumpster of a course. If I could give it a negative star rating, I would
