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.

Huge disappointment

Chaotic start. No carts were available and pace of play ridiculous. Stopped at 11 because we were waiting 10-15 minutes on average per hole. Areas around fairways were in a terrible state while greens were in à sorry stat.

What you don’t see can deceive

All the holes and landscaping that is viewable from public streets look like a beautifully manicured golf course should look; but once you hit the back side there’s standing water, little ponds inside traps and bunkers(if that’s what the dirt holes are supposed to be), large swaths of dirt meandering through the fairways. And yet, there were large mud holes you could tell were once filled with water to provide a legitimate hazard. Maybe a little investment into some quality golf course maintenance and a landscaping company specializing in golf courses for the future?
It’s a challenging layout for AZ courses and even with a frost delay we were able to finish putting on 18 as the sun was setting.

lack of maintenance

The course was not maintained well at all from the tee box and the fairway. The greens are ok but uneven but the cart path is good.

Much Improved

It has been a few years since playing Kokopelli as I have been put off by the terrible reviews. However, I decided to try again as recent reviews were positive. I was pleasantly surprised as the fairways were lush, greens excellent, plenty of good sand in the traps, and tee boxes good. Staff was friendly. The only real issue is all the dirt on both sides of the fairways. However, you have to treat it as if you were playing a desert course and the fairways were lined with desert where you typically lose your ball. At least with this dirt, you can find and hit your ball. I always loved the layout of this course, and the undulating greens are difficult. I'll be back.

Good Value

We had a great time golfing this course. We will be back for sure. It was good value for our money. Everything else around here has insane prices. We had no one in front of us and no one pushing us from behind. The greens were is great shape. We will go back next week for sure!

So much potential…

Hear and read bad things about this course. Most are true. Excellent staff and, if you hit it where you’re supposed to, you’ll be fine. But the greens are bad. Some are fast and some are slow. Unfixed divot marks everywhere. They are huge and undulating and would be awesome, like the rest of the course, if they were taken care of. Great layout and a lot of potential. Excellent value if you just want to get out and swing it.
