 With 45 holes of championship golf on three exceptional courses, the El Conquistador is the largest golf resort in Southern Arizona. It is also the most spectacular. The dramatic views of the Santa Catalina Mountains above and the Tucson Valley below make for a truly memorable golf experience.
Each course provides challenging play for golfers of all skill levels, especially now that our $2 million enhancements by original architect Greg Nash are finished and in place. These include a complete redesign of all tee boxes, fairways and greens.
The Conquistador is considered the primary course, featuring country club like conditions. Natural mesquite and palo verde trees along with saguaro and indigenous desert flora are abundant throughout the layout, with great views of the surrounding mountains.
Consistent on El Conquistador are the elevated green complexes, with deep front-side bunkering. The putting surfaces are of medium size and speed, and were in great shape when we played in early January. This is a good resort layout, with 4 sets of tee boxes and slope ratings varying from 119 to 126. The fairways are not necessarily wide, but ample landing areas are provided for off most tees. The Golds will be the choice of most average golfers. 6331 yards is a bit long (though many tee shots are downhill), but the next choice (Silver) is very short at 5374.
