PAR 4 - 476 Yards

This entire green slopes toward the water so aim your approach at the right side. The green is also deep, so make sure to add at least one more club for a back hole location.

"A great finishing hole, a doggie right that will put a premium on driving accuracy. Position A is left center of the fairway, while avoiding the large fairway bunker. From there, it is a long approach to a deep and thin, tree-surrounded green that is guarded on the right by two large bunkers and on the left by a long and narrow pond. Lots of places you don't want to be on this hole."
--Course Architect D.A. Weibring

History

The Spanish word conquistador means "one who conquers." This has special meaning here on the 18th hole. The foaling barn for Friendship Farm used to sit on the ridge that overlooks the right side of this fairway. There, the farm's internationally recognized Arabian horses were born and took their first steps. One of the farm's prized breeding horses was named Llano Grande Conquistador. He sired countless prize-winning offspring throughout the years.

Tournament participants of the PGA TOUR's John Deere Classic, contested every year at the TPC at Deere Run, must walk over the same ground as Llano Grande Conquistador to lay claim to the same title: CHAMPION.
