The
resort's premier course, the 18-hole Conquistador is a 6,801-yard
par 71 with a rating of 72.7 and a slope of 126. Recently renovated,
the course provides an exceptional golf experience for all skill
levels. The re-shaped fairways and greens create an exceptionally
playable course. The new 419 Tiffway hybrid Bermuda turf allows
for better lies on the fairways and Tiff Eagle on the greens produces
truer and quicker putts. The new landscaping adjacent to the fairways
means the desert rarely comes into play except as a beautiful backdrop
for every round. The course offers a variety of short par 5's and
long par 4's with dramatic mountain views and elevation changes.
The 5th hole is a 541-yard par 5 with a lake and bunkers protecting
the two-tiered green. Two long woods will allow the player an opportunity
to get home in two. But a head wind will typically prevail, and
hinder most opportunities to eagle the hole. The back 9 includes
two par 5's with birdie potential, but heavy bunkering challenges
players.
The signature hole is #16, providing memorable views of Pusch Ridge
while trying to avoid any of the 16 strategically placed bunkers.
