Desert Mountain
The private Desert Mountain Golf Club in Scottsdale comprises a unique collection of six Jack Nicklaus designed signature course: Renegade, Cochise, Chiricahua, Geronimo, Apache and Outlaw. Since opening in 1986, Desert Mountain's courses have consistently been recognized at a national level.
When the "The Tradition" (a senior major championship) was held here, the PGA Champions Tour ranked the Cochise course as the "Best Maintained Golf Course" on the tour. The Renegade and Cochise courses consistently rank with the best courses in Arizona. Opened in 2003, the Outlaw course is the newest example of Desert Mountain golf at its finest.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
