Description

In Gilbert, Kokopelli is a Bill Phillips design that opened in 1992. The course plays 6,716 yards, par 72, with rolling fairways, elevated tees, and water guarding several holes. It's praised for its scenic views and fun mix of reachable par 5s and strategic par 4s. Greens are mid sized with subtle undulations, rewarding confident putters. A practice range and full clubhouse support daily fee and tournament play.

Buckle up for a bumpy tale folks… hadn’t played this track in years and was hoping to catch some nostalgia, but instead we caught a $97 (after taxes and fees), Tuesday morning green fee on a poorly maintained course. If you ride a Harley and like to play in jeans, this course is for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and spend the extra $20-$40 to play elsewhere. Would have been fine paying $50 or so for this round, but man, once you escape the first hole the ruse is on. As a former baseball pitcher I thought I was back on the mound, but with a driver in hand; some of these tee boxes had me thinking bullpen, not fairway. Perhaps some of my green fee proceeds can go to a level for the g-crew. From there it’s back in the cart for a no frills driving experience. Is that some divot repair sand or an ash tray… you decide. No gps pairs nicely with the cart path only stakes and ropes on most holes. Not sure if that move was motivated to needlessly save the already well established fairway grass or perhaps implemented to spare the golf carts and its riders from an Olympic style moguls experience; and if you do run into trouble with the cart like the unfortunate souls ahead of us, fear not, koko-AAA will be on the scene. As you cruise along the cart path on the side of the fairway keep your eyes peeled, no, not for the cart lady as there was no on course beverage service, but perhaps some wildlife. Never been on an African safari before, but I imagine a similar landscape. At times I wasn’t sure if we were driving through the giraffe exhibit at the Phoenix Zoo or on a golf course. If you’re good enough to navigate the narrow fairways, which were really the only playable lies, you’ll need to be on your game for the approach or you may end up in a sand trap which looked more like the beaches at Normandy. Guess they’re still playing 2020 rules where nobody uses the rakes. One of the holes even appeared to feature a green side slip-n-slide, too bad I forgot my trunks. …And then the greens, soft, slow, fuzzy like a Georgia peach and most of them looked like they were attacked by a hailstorm. Guess most golfers missed the sign hanging on the carts that reads “Please repair your divots on the green.” Why bother I guess when you’re already navigating double hole locations and spots where it appears the weekend warrior threw in the towel with a snowman, giving one last hack and taking a chunk out of the green in the process. To cap it all off, watch out for the Make a Wish ambush on the signature 11th… my only wish was the pitch man would give it a rest during my backswing. Things were just starting to open up, I’m not concerned about Captain Sullenburger flying into Canadian Mallards and landing his plane on the Hudson. Look, I’m all about supporting a good cause, but anything short of firing a golf ball out of a potato gun, and I’ll go ahead and save my donations for the wicker baskets getting passed around on Sunday mornings. In all seriousness, the course clearly got some wet weather at some point recently that resulted in standing water where it shouldn’t be, mud patches that killed grass, and overgrown weeds; the place is probably understaffed and working on a tight budget, but damn, all that aside not worth the price of admission to say the least. Just too many unkempt areas to charge that type of money. Parred the last 3 holes and got the hell out of there. I think we’ll leave it at that. Cheers.

Played on 11/2/2025, a week after reopening from the over seeding. The course was in better shape than I thought it would be. The bunkers were rough with some having no sand and others having standing water but we played them as ground under repair. You will have decent lies as long as you keep the ball in the fairways. You can run the risk of muddy water puddles and/or mud if you miss the fairways. Greens were in good shape considering the over seed, a little shaggy and slow as expected but actually putted true for us. Cart path only as the course heals so walking would have been a nice option, I don't know if they allow walking.

Grass is green and fluffy. Good coverage on the Fairways. Tee boxes level and full of grass. Greens have a lot of movement with good conditions. Great layout. Price is a great value. 10/10 would recommend. Will return.

This course has a very challenging layout made even more challenging by The lack of maintenance. The fairways are in decent shape but almost no rough unless dirt qualifies as rough. There are a ton of what I would describe as moguls adjacent to the fairways. The greens are very challenging but unfortunately they closely depict the surface of the Moon. If they were maintained, they would be awesome. The electric golf carts are very nice but appear as though they haven't been washed in years. The traps have good sand in them but nobody rakes. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. They have a decent driving range and both a putting and shipping green. We teed off at 145 and had two holes left at 6:00. I think there are much better values to be found for that time of day. It's a cheap round of golf relative to Valley pricing but not necessarily a value.

I love playing the 9 and breakfast early morning i don’t why why this course gets so much hate, the course is usually beautiful besides the times that it’s under maintenance but that’s just like all the other courses. For the price you can’t beat this place ! Challenging fun course just stay in the fairway you will have a great time 🤝🏾July 24, 2025 back 9 was beautiful
