Kokopelli Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Is this round over yet?! Photo submitted by u000001335906 on 01/03/2015
Fun day.
I haven’t played the course in a while, but I opted to play it again because most of the courses in the area are drastically overpriced during the tourist season. I was pleasantly surprised that the course itself was in great shape. The tees, greens and fairways were quite nice. I was saddened to see that many areas around the fairways have not been kept up. The ponds were all dry and the common areas were overgrown or dirt. I have never seen worse mats at any driving range. The driving range mats at Kokapelli are disgusting. The Golf itself was good though, and the staff is friendly. I might venture out there again just because of the reasonable rates.
Bad course, horrible price.
The price is extremely inflated considering the course is in horrible shape. Play was slow, no marshals monitoring the course. Will never go back.
We appreciate your feedback, but it's important to note that our pricing reflects the value and experience we strive to provide. Course conditions have drastically improved and we are still actively working to improve them even more. Our staff is dedicated to maintaining a welcoming environment, and we do monitor play to ensure a smooth experience for all. We hope you'll reconsider and give us another chance!
Great course, but watch out for events!
We booked a party of 4 tee time for a Sunday afternoon. Once we got on the course we discovered two groups of FIVE in front of us! Our pace of play turned into a torturous 5 1/2+ round of golf. We mentioned it to the ranger at the turn and he acted like he had no idea what we were talking about. It would've been nice if they had given us the option to go first, or if they are hosting competition, have them go at the end of the day, or keep it to groups of four! Especially because these guys were hitting from tips and it was laughable. Then putting took ages because they measured out EVERY putt. Very frustrating to be held up and treated like we dont matter. We play several times a week and you probably don't want to alienate regulars for mini tournament players. Will be a last choice to play there again.
We appreciate your feedback, rlabbott1971, and understand your frustration with the pace of play. However, our staff works diligently to manage course conditions and accommodate all players. It's unfortunate that the groups ahead of you affected your experience, but we strive to ensure everyone has a fair chance to enjoy their game. We hope you'll consider giving us another shot.
6 hour round
They put a tournament out in front of us. 5 golfers in the foursome. Had to wait on all par 4s as they were going for the greens. Absolutely rude to do this Foursome is a foursome!
We appreciate your feedback. Our staff works hard to ensure all guests have a great experience. We value your patronage and hope you’ll give us another shot.
CART PATH ONLY ON PAR 3'S IS DECEIVING
When we started, we were told it was cart path only on 3 pars but were not told that many other holes were actually cart path only because they were staked off the full length of the fairway. We still loved playing the course but would have appreciated more specific information about having to stay on the cart paths for many holes.
Thank you for your feedback, kwb8225. We strive to keep our guests informed, and we apologize if the cart path guidelines weren't communicated clearly. Our staff works hard to maintain the course and ensure the best experience possible. We appreciate your understanding and are glad you enjoyed playing.
This course needs some work
The holes as you drive in look good, but the course outside of that is in really tough shape. I haven't seen as much dirt as I did here. Many of the rolling hills are completely bare of grass. I hope they are in the process of planting but, it wasn't evident. It may have been and could be a nice course, but that is a season away, if they invest.
We appreciate your feedback, Kelly. Our team is dedicated to maintaining our course, and we’re actively working on improvements. The course has seen much improvement in the last year, and we’re committed to getting the course to even better shape. Great things take time, and we’re excited for the upcoming changes. We hope you’ll see the transformation in the near future!
Cart path
Too many cart path only. Also, we had 3 different brands of Golf watches and none worked!! Otherwise, the course is in good shape.
Thank you for your feedback, mbschulz. We understand your frustration regarding the cart paths. These measures help maintain the course's quality for everyone. Our team is dedicated to providing the best experience possible, and we appreciate your recognition of the course's condition. We’re constantly working to improve and hope to see you again soon!
Needs some TLC
Interesting layout, challenging target golf, tough greens. Needs a lot of TLC in the rough. Lots of drainage problems too. Played preferred lies to make it fun
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your feedback on the course layout and greens. While we understand that challenges can arise, our team works diligently to maintain the course to the highest standards. We're continuously making improvements, and your insights help us focus our efforts! We hope to see you back for another round.
5 Hr Round and didn't finish
If ur willing to wait a long time to hit a shot play here. They pack the course with players,,,,The auctual course is awful, it has dirt everywhere,,,,,,,,,,,annoying as heck (it won't let me swear)
We appreciate your feedback, but it’s essential to recognize that our course is popular for a reason. We strive to accommodate as many players as possible while maintaining quality. Our team works diligently to keep the course in the best condition, and we’re constantly improving. If you’re looking for a quick round, perhaps a different time or day would better suit your needs. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Pace of Play
The layout of this course causes the slow pace of play. Tee times are too close together. The fairways are in good shape but there are still some problem areas. Too many players at this course do not repair their ball marks, divots and do not rake up the sand traps. I hate warming up off of mats.
Thanks for your feedback, mno002. While we appreciate your comments about the course's layout and maintenance. Our staff works hard to maintain the fairways and ensure a great experience for everyone. We encourage all players to respect the course, including repairing ball marks and raking sand traps. A little effort goes a long way in keeping our course enjoyable for all.
Nope
It had been years since I last played Kokopelli. I remembered it being a nice course. Incredibly disappointed in everything. The course was in terrible conditions, green fees are much too high for this course.
We appreciate your feedback, Cindy85225. While we strive for excellence, course conditions can fluctuate due to various factors. Our team works diligently to maintain the course and provide a great experience for all players. We encourage you to give us another chance; we’re committed to improving and ensuring your next visit exceeds expectations.
I tried but this is the last straw….
It was like playing golf in a bowl of soup. Wet spots everywhere, no cart girl and they are way over priced. The greens were in bad shape(slow and ball marks). Best part of the day was the breakfast burrito that the bartender made for me…she was awesome, BTW. I was hoping this course had been revived, but the rumors were false…it’s not great and unfortunately for us, it never will be. If you pay more than $50, you’re getting ripped off. Go play Skies or Apache Creek…
We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. While weather conditions can impact course play, our team works hard to maintain the greens and provide a quality experience. We're glad you enjoyed the breakfast burrito, as our staff takes pride in delivering great service. If you think other courses are better suited for you, we respect your choice. However, we’re committed to improving and hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future.
