Kokopelli Golf Course
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.

Is this round over yet?! Photo submitted by u000001335906 on 01/03/2015
Ok for the price
I have played this course many times over 8 yrs . They have made great improvements over the last year, particularly their bunkers. Downfalls are the amount of standing water, long after rain. Also, the staff are unwelcoming, particularly the starter.
It was a chance to golf
People at course were outstanding...very friendly and helpful
The course is just ok. The fairways had some grassy areas and some bare spots. There was a lot of standing water due to the recent rains...not the fault of the course. But losing balls in the fairway is never a good thing.
The greens were fine...not great put very playable. Tee boxes were OK for the most part...some were a little shaggy.
In general, at a time when it is extremely difficult to find affordable tee times, it was place to play some golf. There are better and way more expensive tracks in the area...and there are many that are not as good as this one. The off course facilities and the people make Kokapelli a decent option to get out and hit it
Hi Murrgc, thank you for your review and feedback. We appreciate your kind words about our friendly and helpful staff. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the fairways and standing water, which were beyond our control. We're glad to hear that the greens and tee boxes were playable. We strive to provide an affordable option for golfers in the area and are grateful for your support. We hope to see you again soon at Kokapelli.
Good course
Very good and nice view course , friendly staff, very recommended
Hi golfday777, thank you for your kind words and positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our course and found our staff friendly. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience.
Small Mounds
Wasn’t expecting such small mounds on the course. It was different having little mounds everywhere. It was a little muddy after the rain the day before but nothing too bad. Pace of play was a little slow considering it was a chilly day. I enjoyed playing and would come back again!
Hi Peg, thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback about the small mounds on the course and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the muddy conditions. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed playing and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Chaotic and Slow!
The start to the day was a mess of chaos and confusion. Frost delay was one thing but then the starter just seemed to be completely lost. In the end he put us out as a group of 5! Bizarre and frustrating. Slow play all around... even with 5 we were waiting. Course has reasonably good layout. Greens a little firm but rolling ok. Fairways brown in spots but possible to keep it on the grass. Fair price. 17 holes in 4+ hrs.
Hi Winchester63, thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for the chaotic start to your day and any frustration it caused. We appreciate your positive comments on the course layout and fair pricing. We'll work on improving the pace of play to ensure a more enjoyable experience for you in the future.
We plan to come again when we know pace will be better as I love the course and wanted the wife to play final 9 holes.We originally started at about 2pm and barely made hole 9 in dark so you can understand frustration.Thankyou.
Especially paying good money to golf there.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We hope to get that 4th and 5th star next time.
Value for money but SLOW play
This was my first time playing the course and I would go back again but you should avoid playing on days when there is a frost delay.
Yesterday, there was a 1-hour delay but we had a 12.40 tee time and were told they would be caught up. Unfortunately, they tried too hard and so we went out 15 min early yet had to wait on shot after shot after shot as they pushed people out too fast.
We only managed 16 holes in 5+ hours.
Course condition was good, although frequent standing water in bunkers and at the side of the fairways. Greens condition was also good although not great.
Hi u314159718295, thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent experience at our course. We appreciate your compliments on the course condition. We apologize for the issues you faced with the frost delay and the pacing of play. We'll take your comments into consideration for future improvements.
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.
Hi u314159491554, thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the availability of carts and the pace of play. We'll address these issues to ensure a better experience for our future customers. We appreciate your patience and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again.
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.
Hi ISrX0agwqhNhSuqHp0hb, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your compliments on the manicured areas visible from public streets. We apologize for the challenges you encountered on the back side. We will take your suggestions into consideration for future improvements. We're glad you were able to finish your round despite the delay.
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.
Hi David, thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments about the course maintenance and will definitely take them into consideration. We're glad to hear that you found the greens and cart path to be in good condition. We hope to provide an even better experience for you in the future.
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.
Sinkster,
Thank you for the positive review we have been hard at work. We are glad that it has not gone unnoticed. We will continue to make improvements. Thank You.
Sorry we fell short of expectations we will continue to make improvements. We always want to give a 5 year experience.
Hi u000005324911, thank you for your feedback on your recent experiences at our course. We're glad to hear you've noticed improvements, especially with our bunkers. We apologize for any inconveniences with standing water and staff interaction. We'll address these issues to ensure a better experience for all our guests.
