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.

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!

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

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.

Fun day and good value for $

The course was wet due to the big rains so understandly had to stay on cart paths. Despite that, we still finished in 4 hours 15 minutes. Fairways and greens were in good shape but due to rain off the fairways were quite muddy so we just did clean and place. Carts were good and thought price was reasonable. Only surprising thing is clubhouse was closed when we got off course at 3pm but pro shop fellow was happy to grab us couple of drinks for us and others. But still think full service should be available at that time; perhaps lack of staff? Overall, a good experience!

Terrible playing conditions

Fairways wet and slippery. Standing water in m low lying area. Mud areas slippery - slipped and fell and almost broke my hip. Will not play here again because course management did nothing to improve the playing conditions. Please take more pride in your course.

Good course

Fairly challenging course in pretty good condition. Fairways and tee boxes were good. Bunkers had well applied fresh sand and the greens average-fast and true but didn’t hold the ball well. Good value in this market.
