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.

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.

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.

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.
