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.

Pace of play
You need course Marshall’s in the later part of the day to speed up pace of play.
It’s horrible when you have to wait at least 3 minutes or more before every shot.
Unbelievable.
A lot of dirt spaces in fairways on front 9. Back 9 is better and in better shape.
Hi tlunde1958, thank you for your feedback on our course. We appreciate your comments and are glad to hear that you found the back 9 in better shape. We will definitely take note of your observations about the front 9 and work towards improving that area. Thank you for playing!
Pleasantly suprised
I have been playing this course since the mid 90’s and it was always one of my favorites. I gave up on it a few years back after a few extremely disappointing rounds. The tees were uneven and chewed up. The fairways were almost unplayable. The bunkers had grass growing in them and the smell from the poorly maintained lakes was overwhelming.
My friend and I decided to give it another go despite the mixed reviews online. I was ver surprised driving up to see how lush the course looked. Reminded me of how it was 20 years ago. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the clubhouse looks great. I wish the practice tees had some grass on the areas that were marked. Very chewed up.
Course:
Pros: most tees were in very good condition. Actual sand in the sand traps! Green were in great shape and putted very well. (I do wish people would learn how to repair ball marks). Fairways were in good shape for the most part.
Cons:
Anything off the fairways was in the dirt. There are so many places off the fairways with dirt that the little bit of rain turned a lot of it into mud that flowed everywhere. Hopefully they can get to work on getting grass to grow all over again to help that problem or lay down sand and rocks to make it desert like and stop the mud from forming.
Staff:
Pros: every single golf support staff were nice, friendly and helpful. From the guy who checked us in to the starter and ranger never heard an unkind word and they were very conscious of making sure we were enjoying the day and our needs were met.
Cons: food and beverage staff. We teed off at 7 and didn’t see beverage cart until halfway down the 9th fairway. Started to place an order and the girl sighed loudly and threw the blanket she was wrapped up in on the cart. I wanted to apologize (sarcastically) for inconveniencing her for placing and order. We told her we will wait until the turn and get something from the clubhouse. The clubhouse was no better. Three people behind the counter, six people waiting in line. One person working to prepare food. The other two were talking about with their backs to us was some kind of upcoming road-trip. I not exaggerating when they talked for 5 minutes while everyone waited to place an order. Their job is to serve customers and they clearly had no training in how to do that. Saw the beverage cart one more time and I had to chase her down the cart path whistling to get her to stop. Again so sorry for wanting to buy something. I will say that was the absolute worst part of the day.
I have always loved this course and after coming back to give it another try we will put it back on our rotation.
Mike, thank you for giving our course another chance and for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you noticed improvements in the course conditions and enjoyed the friendly staff. We appreciate your suggestions for further enhancements and hope to see you back soon!
Horrible
Horrible golf course with slow greens. They allowed groups of six which made the experience even worse. Never again!
Hello u000007827847, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the experience you had at our golf course. We are constantly working to provide the best possible experience for all our guests and will address your concerns with our team. We hope you will give us another chance in the future.
Love The Layout
Kokopelli has come a long way in the past year or so. Course is in great shape tee to green, except for a little standing water from several storms that happened several days in a row. We will be back!
Dave,
Thank you for the wonderful review. We cant wait to have you back out on the course!
Challenging
For a guy playing bogie golf, I enjoyed playing this course. Playing from yellow with a slope of 129, I enjoyed the challenge. Stay on the fairway, avoid the rough which could use some maintenance. Difficult undulating greens top off the challenge. Have fun!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Kokopelli. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the course. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another round of golf!
Some long holes
The course layout is quite good. The par 3 ‘S are long and some par 5’S also on the long side, at least for me.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Kokopelli. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the course. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another round of golf!
Better than last time
Course showed some improvements to last time out but still lots of dirt patches where they shouldn’t be. Keep seeding and investing money. Layout find course condition needs continued improvement.
We will keep making improvements and we look forward to having you back out on the course!
Rough conditions
More compact clay area than green grass makes this course one of the ugliest courses I have ever played
Kokopelli played March 11 2024
Have always liked Kokopelli golf course. Well maintained and friendly staff.
Really hard to find courses now with an acceptable rate given to what we use to pay prior to Covid.
Kokopelli, although rates have jumped as well still one of the better deals in the valley.

Better each time
They are working on improving the course conditions. A few bald spots off the fairway but the greens are in great shape. Challenging slopes and some target golf is needed but for the price it is a great course.
We had high hopes
We chose this course because the price was very good for an 18 hole course. The driving range and putting green were both very user-friendly.
The course condition wasn't very good. The tee boxes were very chewed up and most had MANY broken tees scattered throughout. The greens were quite pitted from un-repaired ball marks. It just had a feel of neglect.
The cart girl came by on the 2nd and 7th holes and then disappeared at about 4:30 without letting us know that it was her final pass. When it's hot, you kinda count on getting something on the back nine to carry you through the rest of the round.
There weren't any player assistant/course marshals, and no ball washers as well.
The course has an interesting layout and is fun to play. The condition took away from our experience there.
We enjoyed our round at Kokopelli. We were fortunate to be paired up with some very friendly people.
Our only feedback would be for ball washers either on the course or on the cart.
Hi u314163717364, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your suggestion regarding course Marshall's to improve the pace of play. We will definitely take this into consideration to enhance the overall experience for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
