Kokopelli Golf Course

I enjoyed playing at Kokopeli course. Prices are still are bit pricey, but it was a good price for a round of golf.

The tees and greens were fantastic but the fairways need a bit of work. I will return next year when they have had time to work the fairways. We're We're from Canada so playing isn't possible but we will get back to play Kokopelli again.

I love the layout. It is a challenging course a bit different than the valley norm, however the conditions were terrible. Burnt out dust and muddy. It was great the time I played it when it was in good shape.

Not only was the pace behind average, but the grass is missing from majority of the course. Of course the holes you can see from the main roads look epic, but holes 11 ( the new 2) through 8 (the new 17) are garbage. No one in the clubhouse said details on the card were accurate, where 10 is now 1 so the round was played from a true “start at 10” which was quite unpleasant.

All in all, play a different course. Kokopelli has a lot of work to do in order to keep up or even get close to the other 20 courses in the east valley.

Honestly this course was really good for the price, only real issues is there was a ton of mud in the sand pits or even water pits.

This was my third time playing this course but first time in 15 years. Thought we would revisit what was a beautiful course. Course was in rough shape- standing water, run down cart paths. No sand in traps and more bare dirt than grass. Wouldn’t recommend course as cost of playing here was more than I’ve paid for better conditioned courses.

Fairways are getting better, tees boxes for the most part were ok, greens are really good, layout is still way under rated, price and pace were good, but still the same problems rest in the dirt areas off the fairways and the sand traps are still as bad as possible. Over-all really happy with the improvements and could not believe the two sand traps in front of the 18 green. For some reason the sand traps are filled with awesome sand and how different the course would be if all were the same. Also, do not waste your time playing out of the dirt traps, take the ball out and play it from behind the trap --without penalty. All good!!

The tee boxes and greens are beautiful. The fairways need some work but the greens and tees outweigh the fairway issues. Good layout, fair price and easy to bet on and book. The food was excellent as well..

If you’re in Gilbert Arizona stop by and play this course, good layout, friendly people, the perfect local public course.

You get what you pay for, but the course was in Ok shape - lots of burn in and around the fairways - greens weren’t bad at all.

There's no doubt that $35 is a fair/good price to play Kokopelli. It was a twilight rate; we started at 3:30 and finished 18 holes in about three hours. Excellent pace of play! The fairways are in pretty good shape. However, off the fairways there are extensive unsightly dirt patches throughout the course. These are not typical desert-landscaping areas; these are unmanaged dirt areas. There are numerous sand traps that are flat-out hard pan--literally devoid of sand; bare, hard, and miserable to play from.

This was my first time playing this course and I will not be going back any time soon. The course is barely playable in my eyes. Tee boxes were decent and some parts of the way fairway were ok. The greens were decent but the rest of the course is absolutely the worst. The rough is just rock hard dirt that I didn't even want to swing my clubs on. The bunkers are rock hard clay and no sand at all. There are little spots of water just sitting around the course and on the cart path that you have to drive around. The course is poorly marked as I didn't hardly know where to go. I started on hole 10 and actually quit after only doing 9 holes. I don't recommend going to this place as it's clear they don't care about the way their course looks. My cart was dirty and when I looked on the one side a piece of it was like falling off. Like others have said there is a ton of potential but they have a ton of work to do to get it to that point. The people there were friendly but the course itself has much to be desired. Wish I wouldn't have spent any money trying to play this course.

Haven’t played here in a couple years and wish I hadn’t. Fairways have a TON of water/mud. Ball would land in fairway and have hard pan dirt lie, sitting on top of soggy wet ground, or just mud grass mix. Dry mud on greens from people tracking on their shoes. Lot of bare spots on or next to fairways. Very disappointed in the conditions here. Pins placed fairly tough spots considering you couldn’t get good lies to hit into greens. Overall wouldn’t recommend or play here again until there is a BIG change. Need new superintendent and a lot of time to get back into shape. Do yourself a favor and play somewhere else.

The greens and tee boxes were beautiful. Some of the fairways needed some work. It was not busy so pace of play was not an issue. Good value for the money. I will play there again. Thanks.

I actually love this course. It is a beautiful layout with a lot to offer visually. The holes provide some challenges but it is not unfairly set up. My issue is with the water retention, especially what is now the front nine. I can't get through the round without taking my shoes off at least twice to get the mud off of them. I usually play in the morning and I guess its shortly after the irrigation has been running but the lack of grass next to and around the golf path ensures that you almost always have to walk through the mud to get to your ball or the green. Plus the Sand Traps are an automatic free drop. They are just unplayable.

Having said that, the tee's and Greens are always in great shape. I think they are some of the best greens in the valley.

Unfortunately, I think it will take major renovations to build in proper drainage and seed grass in all the places that needs it. I go to Kokopelli when I want to get in a quick round. However, when I want to have a great golf experience, I look elsewhere.

Stay away from Kokopelli until they get their house in order. The course is a mess. Mud and standing water over the entire course. Some fairways are 60% dirt and 40% grass. This is the third time in the last 3 months I have booked this track and each time the conditions worsen.
