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
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.
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.
Disappointed
Course not as advertised on the website. Standing water, mud puddles in fairways and sand traps. Staff very courteous and friendly.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the course conditions. While we strive to maintain our standards, weather can sometimes impact playability unexpectedly. Our team works diligently to provide a positive experience, and we're glad you found our staff courteous. We encourage you to revisit us—rain or shine, our hospitality shines through!
Course is in extremely poor condition
The course is in terrible condition with huge areas bare hardpan dirt. There were areas of ground under repair on almost every hole. Rough around the greens (second cut) was 3-4inches deep making it difficult to even find your ball. Staff was very nice and professional but the condition of the course is unforgivable. We will not return again.
We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that our staff made a positive impression. However, it’s important to note that course conditions can vary due to weather. Our team works diligently to address these issues and improve the experience for all golfers. We hope you’ll reconsider and give us another chance in the future, as we’re committed to making it right. After all, every course has its ups and downs!
It’s getting a lot better!
This course has drastically improved. Prices are still too high. The fairways are in good shape, tee boxes are green, and the rough is long but healthy. The greens look healthy but they need to be cut and rolled. Excess water throughout the course. It’s getting better but it’s not quite there yet. Hopefully they continue the work they’ve been doing.
Thank you for your feedback, Martin. We appreciate your recognition of the improvements made to the course. While we understand pricing is a concern, it reflects our commitment to maintaining high standards. Our team is dedicated to providing a top-notch experience and we’re actively addressing your points about the greens and excess water. Progress takes time, and we’re excited to keep enhancing the course for all our guests. We hope to impress you even more on your next visit!
Not well maintained
It’s a tight challenging course, rolling hills and greens…the fairways and greens were in decent shape, green from the rain and new grasses, but they have a water drainage problem, a lot of pooled water where it’s not meant to be, so you’re losing balls even after hitting good shots and have to drop…if you don’t hit the fairway you’re playing out of dirt. I assume the standing water will be gone in a few days, leaving more rough muddy areas. Give it another week to dry out. Also, as of today, the sand traps were dirt, had more weeds than sand, no racks in these bunkers either( but there was no sand anyway)…bring plenty of balls, challenging course, but we still had a good time, friendly staff
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your understanding of the course conditions, which can sometimes be influenced by weather. Our team is dedicated to maintaining the course and is actively addressing the drainage issues and sand quality in the bunkers. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the challenge and the friendly service.
Overseed well done.
This course always has many bald spots. But the overseed has set it up for a good winter.
Overseeded Needed ASAP 10/5
Friendly staff. I know a lot of the course conditions are related to the upcoming overseeding schedule, but was nonetheless disappointed. Called the pro shop a few days prior asking greens conditions, to which the response was “very good”. Greens are sadly not very good and among the slowest in the Valley. Had I known this I would have taken my business elsewhere. My score was inflated as a result, causing chips and approaches to veer well offline with inconsistent green responses.
Many, many dry spots, over saturated with water causing pools of water all across course (many mosquitoes). Perhaps wait to play here until overseeding. Enjoyable layout but not worth the $40+ fee; hoping to come again after overseeding.
We appreciate your feedback and are glad you found our staff friendly. Course conditions can vary, especially with overseeding approaching. We strive for transparency, and our team relayed the best information available at the time. While we regret that your experience didn’t meet expectations, we’re committed to improving.
Great People, Fast Round, Top value
Kokopelli is a great overall value. The staff was easy going and nice. The round was fast - hard to beat it for a great value desert golf club.
Thank you for your positive feedback, NathanielPaul! We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience and found value in our service and pace of play. Our staff works hard to create a welcoming atmosphere, and it’s great to see their efforts recognized. We strive to provide an exceptional experience that keeps players coming back. See you on the course for another round!
Slow pace!
Called the pro shop on the 3rd hole because we had waited 10+ minutes to tee off on each hole. There were 3 groups waiting to tee off on 4. Was told there was no Marshall available by the pro shop to help with pace of play. We left after 11th hole because it was miserable waiting. Should have requested a refund but just wanted to get out of there.
Thanks for the feedback, goss111! We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope your next round is as smooth as a perfect swing!
First timer
Great value and course but obviously a lot of maintenance taking place .
Disappointing no cart service when it was 100 degrees
Thanks for the awesome review, Alan9713922! We're thrilled you enjoyed the course and found great value. We're always working hard to keep everything in tip-top shape, even if it means a little extra maintenance. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back for a cooler round!
