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.

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.

Course was great. Staff needs to clean bathrooms on course more often - once a week is not enough. Ladies bathroom in clubhouse also did not have toilet paper.

SLOW

Do not play here unless you want to play a 5 hour round. No ranger on site to move the pace along. Seems everyone is playing at their own pace without consideration of other. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who goes out to actually enjoy the game of golf. This course is for beginners or people going out for a good time, not to play golf.

Solid - a bit slow - ran out of daylight

I haven't played Kokopelli in several years due to it being too unforgiving at my skill level.
I've improved a bit and thought I'd give it another go. Course is looking pretty good, better than I remember (say about 4 years ago-ish?). I still have a tendency to find myself in trouble, but still in play, so I was hitting from the dirt on a few holes, but the fairway and green quality was great! The info card said round time of 4:30 was about spot on - in fact we were playing a little faster, but we ran out of daylight about 5:25 and with a 2:01 Tee time, we couldn't finish. It is a real bummer when the twilight rate doesn't kick in until there is no way to finish your round. The course is decent, it was in good shape - especially if you consistently find the fairway and the greens were nice. I'll play again!

Getting there

The course conditions have improved. But the pace of play was extremely slow. Tee off at 12:22 and made it in just before dark.

1st time playing Kokopelli

First time playing Kokopelli and I was pleased with the course layout and the difficulty of the course. Not a lot of crazy water hazards but it does wind through a neighborhood. Couple of the pins were in really challenging pin locations but it was sprinkled throughout the course which quickly can humble a golfer.

Course was very muddy and really really wet, everything, shoes, clubs, bags had to be thoroughly washed after.

Cart staff at the pro shop/start was nonexistent, no one out to set up the carts or offload the carts at the end of the round, cart girl was friendly and around regularly.
