Kokopelli Golf Course

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
Could be so much better
Really enjoyed the staff and the course has so much potential. Challenging greens in decent shape. But there is hardly any grass on the course. Way too much dirt Pace of play was super slow. Had to quit at 18 after 5 hrs plus on the course. Three groups on the hole. Never saw a marshal.
Very very slow play
Very very slow play, we waited at every hole. It took over 4 hours to play 15 holes and got dark. We did not get to finish

Kokopelli 2025
Played here the previous year. Like playing this course. Challenging for an intermediate player.

Thanks for your feedback, chiesgolf! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your time on the course and found it challenging. We strive to create a great experience for players of all skill levels. We hope to see you again soon for another round!
Still Needs Maintenance!
The “water” areas are garbage dumps. Neighbors are dumping construction materials in them, and the marshes and weeds are fully grown.. Pin placements were extremely difficult. And the condition of fairways was less than desirable.
The fee to play this course during the prime season in Arizona was less than desirable. It’s way overpriced when compared to other public courses in much better condition.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, u314162344812. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations. We take concerns about course conditions seriously and are actively working on a few projects on the course.

Beautiful layout
It is unfortunate that the lack of TLC or simply put love is lacking on this course. There are no ball washers as they where stollen during Covid and never replaced. Hence the green fee price.
Do not go by the pictures that are uploaded on the internet😩
Somewhat disappointed

Your concerns are important to us, and we aim to enhance the overall experience for our guests. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back for a much better visit.
Not what we expected.
Almost no help from staff was found. Cart was filthy and course in below average condition. The Cafe looked decent. Bucket of balls was $37 for 30!

KMosier, we’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience. Cleanliness and customer service are top priorities for us, and we appreciate your feedback. For a small bucket, it is actually $7 for 30 balls.
Thank you
Decent course for the money paid $62 for a 130 tee time . Don’t think I’d pay a whole lot more as course is pretty dry overall. Greens were excellent though and tee boxes were good shape just lotsa dry patches in fairways . Staff were friendly. Pace was slow on back nine. 4.30 round and didn’t play #18 there was a group playing very slow in front. Coulda used a Marshall just to keep pace up a bit but overall was a good experience

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Farmer63! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the excellent greens and friendly staff.

Frustrating start, overbooked mess, unorganized operation
Booked my time through golf now multiple days in advance for a solo 1:16 tee time. Got to the course with ample time, and to my surprise was rushed on to the tee box by the starter, as they moved my time to 1:07 without communicating. By the time I got the the tee box after being tossed around with my bag in my lap on the way there, my “group” had already teed off and was ready to run down the fairway. After holding up the 3 some I joined and getting to tee off we continued the round. Within 2 holes the pace of play was atrocious. With tee times every 9 minutes, we were held up on every tee box and fairway, and had a couple guys hitting into us behind us. By 13 this twosome of guys passed us up even though we were being held up by a foursome in front of our group, without even asking or letting us know. Old guy I was paired up with was upset enough to call the pro shop and they didn’t do a thing about it. Luckily we made the most of the round, but man was this an unorganized, over booked mess. Do better kokopelli…

Conditions were sub par
Staff was friendly, pace of place was great, layout was fine. The conditioning though for paying 97$ was to be desired.

Thanks for your feedback, Luke. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the friendly staff and the atmosphere. We strive for excellence, and we're sorry the conditioning didn't meet your expectations. Your insights are valuable, and we’ll work on improving that aspect. We hope to provide you with a better experience next time!
Pass on this one
We thought it would be ok to spend a little less while warming up in the desert. Pass… rough is just dirt and fairways are a mess. Greens could be ok for some holes. Not worth $45 let alone close to $90. Pass..

Randynovia, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience. Our goal is to provide a quality golfing environment, and it seems we fell short during your visit. Your comments about the course conditions are valuable, and we'll be addressing them with our team. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future.
Needs work
Greens, tees & fairways were good but don’t get off them. Rough and hazard areas poorly maintained and don’t give the course a very nice appearance. Only played because we just left the snow behind and the green fee was cheap.

Dev52, thanks for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the greens, tees, and fairways. We acknowledge the maintenance issues in the rough and hazard areas and are actively working to improve them. We hope to provide a more enjoyable visit next time!
Good lay out
Had played two days earlier and pace of play was great. But on this day pace was terrible and didn’t see Marshall all day. I will give this course another shot with out a doubt.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Neil. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your previous round! We appreciate your feedback about the pace of play and will look into it. Your willingness to give us another shot means a lot, and we’re committed to making your next visit even better. Looking forward to seeing you back on the course soon!
