Frustrating day

I normally enjoy playing Kokopelli in the summer as the staff is friendly and I can get a quick round in. However today was an exception. When I got to the course I found out that the front nine was closed and I had to play the back nine twice. That alone wasn't too bad. But when I teed off as a single due to the hot weather and sparse number of players in the afternoon, I was behind another single and a twosome in front of him. The twosome let the first single play through on the second hole, but they never let me play through. Therefore I had to wait on most every shot. Also, my cart died on the fourteenth hole. Fortunately there was a single behind me, and he allowed me to load my stuff onto his cart so I could finish the round. It turned out to be a frustrating day. So different than my usual round at this course.

Challenging day

The course was adequately maintained and the greens were soft and ran true. Having never played here before, I found the layout pretty, but challenging. The par 3s tended be on the long side (150-200 yards), while the par 4s were shorter (225-300 yards), but all fairways were extremely tight with very little room for error. Bring a lot of golf balls, unless you can consistently hit it straight with regularity.

Scenic executive course

Well maintained course with stunning views of the Sedona red rocks. The greens were soft and ran true. The length of the 9 hole course is very short, but the narrow fairways make it a challenge for most. Be aware though that you will probably be leaving your driver in the bag.

Not what I am used to

I play here several times a year, and this was the worst shape I have seen the course in. It is usually better maintained, so hopefully they will give it some water and get it back to its normal condition.

Thank you for taking the time to review our golf course. We are in the process of upgrading our irrigation system. Please be patient as the condition of the course may be inconsistent in some areas during the process. We would like the opportunity to have you back next season and you can see the improvements that we are making.

Good deal for a summer round

I arrived about 30 minutes before my tee time and the staff let me go out early since they were not busy. I thought the greens were in good shape, and the fairways were decent given the hot summer temperatures. However if you were off of the fairways, grass was a bit sparse at times. I personally enjoy the layout, and play this course regularly.

Decent course, slow play

This is what I would expect from a municipal course. It was in decent shape, but the pace of place was slow, especially on the back nine, once I caught up to the groups that went out earlier than I did (this is after the two singles I was playing with bailed after nine, and the threesome in front of us also called it quits after nine holes). I joined the next threesome in front of them on the 12th hole, and we waited as a foursome on every shot through the rest of the round. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I appreciate them getting us out about 15 minutes early when they had a gap.

Much improved

I played this course several years ago as Desert Rose. At that time the course was in terrible shape, and I vowed to not play it again. I booked this tee time as I did not realize the course had changed names, and I am glad that I did. I thought the fairways and greens were in great shape given the time of year. The price was excellent for the course condition. The only drawback that I see now with this course is the layout, and the fact that every hole has the city wash running down its right side. If you are able to stay left, you are okay, but anything hit right will run into the ditch, and cause you to take a penalty stroke. I know this course drives some people crazy with its layout, but I will definitely play it again if it stays in this kind of shape at this price.

Great course for the price

The course conditions were better than expected as we head into the hot season in Phoenix. The staff was very friendly and let me tee off as a single. Twosomes and Threesomes that I encountered on the course let me play through, so I was able to play at my own pace. I love the tee box options for distance, and there is plenty of challenge to keep the round interesting.

Great course for the price

This is the perfect time of year to play golf in the area, and this course was in very good condition. The staff was friendly, and even got us out a little early, allowing us to play as a twosome. Despite being a twosome, the pace of play was quite good, finishing in less than 3 hours.

Fun course

I was pleasantly surprised to see the great shape the course was in. It is a fun, shorter layout, with plenty of challenges that keep you honest. I plan to play it again soon.

Good value

Wide open layout of the East course makes it very forgiving for errant shots. It is an excellent play for the higher handicapped players, but probably isn't much of a challenge for the low handicappers. Fairways were nice and green, and the greens were in great shape, and rolled true. It was a good value for the price.

Nice surprise

We weren't sure what to expect since Dayton is almost an hour outside of Reno, and the price on Golfnow was very reasonable for an afternoon round. We were pleasantly surprised that the course was in excellent condition and the greens ran true and fast. The layout has a lot of contour, and some challenges, but the course has tees for any handicap, and the fairways are forgiving. The staff was extremely friendly. The only issue I had was that the front nine played very quickly, and we saw almost no one. When we made the turn we somehow, suddenly found ourselves behind groups that were not the ones we were behind on the front, and the pace slowed considerably. I am not sure if they sent people off the back nine ahead of us, or if we some how, miraculously caught everyone on the turn, but we waited on every shot beginning on the tenth tee. Regardless, it is a great course and we had a very enjoyable round, made even better by the reasonable cost to play it.

Disappointed

The staff was very friendly, and we were warned ahead of time that the course conditions were less than ideal. However we were unaware just how bad it truly was. I have played this course before, and really enjoyed it. I am not sure what has happened since then, but all tee boxes were either overgrown, or barren. All fairways were either overgrown, or covered in weeds. The greens were the best part, as they were typically fairly green (a few rough spots, but that is not uncommon in the summer), but have not been mown recently. so you had to really rap the putt to get it to the hole.
I like the layout, but will only come back once the course has gone through major improvements in maintenance and course conditions.

A lot of fun and a great environment

This is a great place to play and practice. Playing a virtual match indoors gets you out of the Arizona heat and allows you to enjoy a round on a variety of courses you would never have the opportunity to play otherwise. It is perfect for beginners and experts alike. You don't have to worry about the pace of play of others around you, and the establishment has food and drinks for you to enjoy during the round as well. The staff was very friendly and quite helpful. We'll definitely be back again.

Course was in good shape but the pace was extremely slow at nearly 5 hours. We waited on just about every shot except the putts.

Cource was being prepared for overseeding, so conditions were rough. Outside of that everything was great. Staff was very friendly and course is very playable for the average golfer.
