El Conquistador - Pusch X9 Course

The Pusch X9 Course (previously known as Pusch Ridge Course) is one of three courses at the El Conquistador. The hotel’s location at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountain Range ensures spectacular views on all three courses.

Encircling the El Conquistador resort is one of the best kept golf secrets in Tucson - the 9-hole Pusch X9 Course. It is by no means an executive course. The golfer plays from elevated tees to sloping fairways and more often than not, back up to an elevated green. The layout makes full use of the ravines and ridges as well as indigenous cactus and trees to challenge any player.

Although it is shorter than the other courses at the hotel, the course is still a popular choice since it features dramatic elevation changes, small greens and water hazards. The course provides challenging play for golfers of all skill levels, and it serves as a great warm up for the two championship courses at the hotel. The signature hole is the par-4 fifth hole, which is surrounded by water with a walkway to an island green. It is considered one of the most scenic holes in Tucson.
