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.

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.

Course is in bad shape

Course us under repair every where. No bathrooms on the course i could find. Range balls on almost every hole. When the Haboob hit the dirt all over the course along with all the grass clippings just added to the misery.

Sorry there are much better courses nearby.

Thanks for the feedback, 2014crest! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Sounds like our course was having a rough day—maybe it was in a cart path-only mood! We’re committed to improving, so we’ll be rolling up our sleeves (and maybe some grass) to get things back on track. Hope to see you again soon for a much better round!

3rd Time Playing

The course layout was great, offered its own unique challenge with the hills and long fairways. Pace of play was a big issue, didn’t see any rangers going around to enforce it. At least 3 times in the 18 holes, we had 6 carts at the tee box.

It surprises me every time I’ve played here but there is a real mosquito problem with a lot of small standing bodies of water.

Thanks for your feedback! It honestly amazes us people's expectations with affordable golf. Kokopelli is in a transition stage, and our pricing reflects that. So sorry it wasn't up to your expectations.

Hi swishera,

Thanks for noticing our cutting-edge strategy — we like to keep parts of the course dry enough to roll fast and others damp enough to practice splash shots. It’s not chaos… it’s intentional turf artistry. 🎨⛳️

In all seriousness, our grounds crew works hard to balance playability with Mother Nature’s moods (even when she’s not participating). But if we ever figure out how to customize every square foot to everyone’s liking, we’ll be sure to patent it.!

Horrible condition

They have holes closed and don't tell you when booking. Greens are extremely inconsistent, rough and seems like they were aerated but not recovered. Mud, dirt, and clover weeds throughout the fairways. No distance markers throughout the course. For what golf prices used to be before courses started fully taking advantage of COVID prices. This is sub par. Crazy they are charging what they are for the condition it's in.

Thanks for the feedback! We’re currently working a few holes and aerating the fairways was a part of the process of bringing the grass back. In regard to the distance marker, it is something is being worked on with the maintenance team. We hope to see you again one day down the road.
