Kokopelli Golf Club, Gilbert, AZ

fun course tricky greens would play again

The bad stuff: they schedule tee times 7 minutes apart. On the 2nd hole--a par 3--there was a foursome on the box and two more foursomes waiting in front of us. Apparently it is always like that. So expect to be backed up all the way through--especially on the par 3s. I golfed with some people who have played there a lot because it is the closest course to where they live and they told me 4 1/2 to 5 hours is about what to expect for a round. We started at 2:00 PM and it was dark before we finished. Also rental clubs were $23, or about half the cost of the round. That seems pretty high. Also because of housing and highways the course is pretty narrow in places. It is to lose your ball over a fence or across a road. The good stuff: pretty good value at $43 for 18 holes plus cart. Challenging course.

Staff was very pleasant and accommodating, but the course was a big disappointment. Playing through an alley with high walls on both sides or condos. Traffic buzzing near some holes. Fairways were overwatered, so lots of plugged balls or mudders. Greens at other area courses are in better shape. 30 yards of gravel frame each fairway. Not sure why they don't have seeding program. Not very expensive, but not worth much either.

BEST COURSE FOR THE MONEY......$25 bucks.. best deal i've found so far.. the course was in tip top shape.. we played from the tips, with it being only 6700 yards.. The fairways were plush and green, Rolling hills on almost every hole. If not in the fairway then chances are you are going to have a side hill lye of some sort.....WHY BETTER THAN "THE LINKS AT QUEEN CREEK" That course sucked big time. Don't waste your money there
