Between Arizona's lower Sonoran desert and the pine forests of its central mountains lies a land of unique beauty. In north Scottsdale, Arizona, nestled in the mountain foothills, you will find a unique community. A community called Desert Mountain.
The 7,515-yard Renegade was the first of Jack's 18-hole golf courses to open at Desert Mountain. Renegade is unique in design from every other course in the world and has earned a place on Golf Digest's "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses" list three times. The course also consistently is among the best courses in Arizona by Golf Digest.
Especially designed so players of varying skills can enjoy the same course simultaneously, Renegade features two pin placements on every hole. One pin is typically set forward on the green, while the other is set in a more challenging position on the same green, or on a separate green altogether. By combining pin placements with multiple tee areas at each hole, players can make Renegade as relaxing or as difficult as they desire.
