Kokopelli Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Kokepelli First Timer
Tried this course as it was a more reasonable cost for the time of year. Fairways and greens were in good shape, but many areas of repair and reconstruction off fairway had impact on course difficulty. Pace of play was a little slow at times, still finished in 4 1/2 hrs.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Would play again for same or less price.

Average course
Staff were friendly but not efficient, disorganized beverage cart only around once, close to end of round. Expected more for the price that was oaid

Better than it use to be.
We have not played here for awhile due to do poor conditions of the golf course. Someone has finally spent some money making this a decent golf course to play.
The pace of play was still grueling at almost 5 hours.

Never coming back
We had a group of 3 and finished 7 holes after playing for over 2.5hrs. We had enough and found out that we were double booked and someone at the front desk tried telling us we were late. We weren’t impressed with the condition of the course at all.
A real swamp
Course is horrible shape with standing water everywhere ( its in the middle of the desert). No one told me it was cart path only until we went on fairway 1st hole. I would discourage anyone from wasting the money and time playing this course. Lost no less than 6 golf balls in mud puddles….
Stay away

We strive to provide a great golfing experience and we'll address the issues you mentioned to ensure improvements. We appreciate your input and hope you consider giving us another chance in the future.
Roughs
Course not in real good shape. Granted lots of rain. Front nine roughs are a red clay??? Clover in what had grass could not find balls!! Tees should have been mowed. If a course has sand traps try to take care of them. Nothing done on traps. Unfortunate rain did have something to do with conditions but not sure would change a lot here
Hi lucky123, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the course conditions you experienced, especially due to the recent heavy rainfall. We appreciate your input and will work on improving the maintenance of the roughs, tees, and sand traps for a better overall experience.
Links Style Gorgeous Course
Very interesting and different course, lots of moguls if you're a skier you know what I mean. Links style course in that regard. On a dry day it would be great, but because of the rain, we were required to stay on the cart path so there's significant up and down walking to get to and from your ball. In wet conditions, hit your ball close to the cart path ! Still fun to play.
Hi u066108556, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear that you found our course interesting and fun to play, despite the challenging weather conditions. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we hope to see you back on the course soon.
Kokopelli
A good course could be better. The front 9 (which used to be the back 9) is tough on the eyes. Less player friendly because of the hard pan areas which seem to take up 30-40% of each hole. Some loving care to build the front 9 to resemble the back 9 would go a long way to move from a locals only course to a top tier must play course. Green speeds; challenging! Back 9 fairways; lush! Bunkering throughout; impressive & challenging! Water features; wide & deep! Customer service in all areas of operation; outstanding!
Hi Enchilara, thank you for your honest feedback about our course. We appreciate your suggestions for improvement and will take them into consideration. We're glad you enjoyed the challenging green speeds, lush back 9 fairways, impressive bunkering, deep water features, and outstanding customer service. We hope to see you back soon!
Solid Value
Course was in reasonable shape with the exception of a couple of holes. Lying water in a few places. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Hi u314164247002, thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your positive comments about our friendly and helpful staff. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of a couple of holes. We'll work on improving that. We hope to see you again soon!
Hi lholthaus, thanks so much for rating us. Is there anything you’d like to share that we can pass along to the team?
Kokopellithe
The course was in very good condition. Play was a little slow but it worked out to get our 18 holes in. I would definitely go back and play again
Hi u314161174944, thank you for your positive review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the course despite the slower play. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to having you back for another round soon.
The course had many dry clay areas but the but if you were on the fairways you had grass. Front 9 greens were slow and back 9 were much better. Tees were okay but a few needed cutting. Sand traps varied, some were hard with very little sand. There were no ball washers and very few garbage bins. A course map on the card or hole map at tee markers would be beneficial. The course has potential if the owners paid attention to the little details. #18 is in the best condition, no carts allowed.
Hi Dev52, thank you for your feedback on our course. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration. We strive to provide a better experience for our golfers and will work on addressing the areas you mentioned. We hope to see you again soon.
