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.

Greens good

Other than greens, once your off the fairway it's just dirt, dirt & more dirt. For the price it was disappointing.

Buyer be ware

This course has gone down hill over the last few years. It is not in great condition right now. We played and it looked like a Monsoon had just rolled through. Insane conditions for April.

Not worth it

I am surprised that they are even allowing customers to play this course in the condition it is in. Zero sand in the trap, and not one trap even raked for months. The course is mostly mud..not even joking. It was horrible. I would be completely embarrassed to be the owner of this course. My twosome played with another twosome and none of us will ever be back. I want a complete refund

Downhill

Downhill since I last played here about 4 years ago.

Traps were terrible, fairways and greens likewise. It was

not easy to play because of the conditions.

Needs attention

My impression is that the superintendent is either understaffed or incompetent. This is a desert course and I know you have to irrigate but all bunkers are either mud or hard baked clay, no sand at all. No attempt at conditioning. There is standing water along the cart path from the runoff, it hasn't rained for weeks. There's plenty of green grass though, and I guess that's the objective.

Can be a great course

The layout and terrain gives this course a great opportunity to be a great course. The condition of the course was poor. Some fairways condition were poor and the rough basically had no grass in most spots. The greens are in good condition. They need to spend some money improving this course and they could charge more to play.

It can be fixed

Score card vs the course.... #1 box and #10 box was confusing to me and wasn't explained. I get it now after my guy cleaned my clubs. Carrt guy should be the starter and move the other 2 guys in the club house to a useful position..

D-U-M-P

One of the worst golf courses I’ve played in AZ. Sand and dirt all over the course, grass is scalped, crab grass every where. No pace of play enforcement. Stuck behind a DUO for 55 minutes through 3 holes. Won’t be coming back, save your money and look elsewhere.

Course Review

Good course. Fun to play. Rough spots throughout. Bunkers were awful. I chose to pick up and not play out of them- they were hard dirt- very little sand. If I had avoided the bunkers it would have been a much more honest round.

Fast round and good deal

Played in a threesome and finished under 4 hours. Most of the course is in fairly good shape. There were a few holes on the front nine that had some bad spots on the fairways, but overall, I thought it was in good shape. Greens seemed to be in good shape too. Don't remember any bad spots. Beverage cart came around 3 times. Rangers were all super nice and in good spirits.

Thanks for a great round.

Horrible pace if play awful bunkers

The greens and the fairways were in good shape very challenging course as well. The bunkers we're awful it felt like hitting out of concrete, tons of debris and weeds as well. Took 5 hours to play 18 holes, and the beverage cart only managed to make 1 appearance. For the cost of the round it is not worth the money. Plan far enough ahead so you are not desperate and forced to pay more at a sub par course.

Good value for the money

Not a top end course, but we weren't expecting it to be. Nice layout, tee boxes and greens were good. Fairways a bit spotty, roughs the same. We just wanted a course where we could shake the rust off, as we are from Minnesota and hadn't golfed for 6-7 months! . I would say good value for the money!
