DTJ DESIGN's Renegade Clubhouse at Desert Mountain Recognized in Golf Inc.'s Clubhouse of the Year Awards

DENVER, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DTJ DESIGN is proud to announce that the Renegade Clubhouse at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona, has been awarded 2nd place in Golf Inc.'s prestigious Clubhouse of the Year competition. This recognition highlights the clubhouse's seamless integration with the desert landscape, its thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor amenities, and its role in enhancing the member experience.

The Renegade Clubhouse blends architecture, landscape, and nature to create an authentic desert retreat. Defined by floating roof forms, expansive glass walls, and locally sourced Hualapai-Chocolate stone, the design fosters a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Expansive covered terraces, multiple courtyards, and native landscaping enhance both aesthetics and functionality.

"Renegade is a testament to creativity and collaboration—where architecture and landscape come together to celebrate the beauty of the Sonoran Desert," said Greg White, DTJ Principal and Project Manager. "The design embraces natural materials and open-air spaces, allowing guests to connect with the surrounding environment in a meaningful way."

The clubhouse renovation, overseen by recently-retired DTJ Partner-in-Charge Steve James alongside DTJ Partner and Lead Architect David Poppleton and White, was essential in elevating the member experience. Enhancements focused on improving access to the golf course and practice facilities while introducing modernized locker rooms, a state-of-the-art pro shop, and dedicated social spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, reinforcing DTJ DESIGN's commitment to blending architecture with its surroundings.

Rooted in the rich traditions and natural beauty of the Southwest, the Renegade Clubhouse exemplifies DTJ DESIGN's dedication to innovative, community-driven spaces. This award underscores the firm's expertise in creating environments that are both luxurious and welcoming.
