The Course That Started It All
Once described by Golf Magazine as “the most versatile course in the world,” Renegade was the first of the six Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses to open at Desert Mountain in 1987. Golfers of varied skill levels have the privilege to select their own level play, with 14 different combinations to choose from on each hole. Planted with exclusive, cool-season grasses for year-round golf, the course can be stretched over 8,000 yards if played from the Gold Bear tees to the Gold flags.
COURSE FACT
The award-winning course was recently renovated to include seven tee boxes and two pin placements on every hole, with some holes featuring two greens.

Customize the Way You Play
One of the most unique courses in the world, Renegade is a rarity that features two pins on each hole (set every day on six connected double greens), and 12 holes where the greens are separated by as much as 100 yards. With seven different sets of tees and the ability to play the course anywhere from 4,400 to 7,900 yards, there are endless options and distances to help tailor your game. Jack Nicklaus’ design provides numerous risk/reward options with tee shots to avoid bunkers, such as the ones in the middle of the fairways on holes #2, #9, #13, and #17. Whether in the air or on the ground, you can take your pick of approach shots on most greens, but it’s important to attempt a firm landing without rolling off the back of the greens.
Signature holes: #4, #9, #12, #17
