Test your game at the Arthur Hills Golf Course at El Conquistador Resort & Golden Door Spa. Our 72-par course is ideal - challenging and player-friendly. Stroll the daunting hills and bunkers tamed by cleverly planned lateral movements and broad openings. View the elevation changes of more than 200 feet - rare among typically flat Caribbean golf resorts. And take in the greens, dotted with palm trees, lush island flora, and fauna. Drive the 18th hole, where splashing fountains lead to a waterfall over which the last unforgettable shot of the game is made. Enjoy dramatic views of the majestic El Yunque Rain Forest and the stunning Atlantic Ocean on our truly unique Puerto Rico golf resort:
