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.
