John Lyberger, PGA—one of the most highly regarded golf professionals in the country—has been named PGA Director of Golf at Desert Mountain Club, the only private community in the world with six Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses.

Lyberger was most recently the Vice President of Club Operations at Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla., and before that the 20-year PGA Director of Golf at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland. During his time at Congressional, the club played host to two U.S. Open Championships and seven PGA TOUR events.  

With a proven track record of providing an extraordinary golf experience for his members, as well as mentoring many assistant professionals who have gone on to become directors of golf and general managers at some of the country’s best clubs, Lyberger will oversee a golf staff of 75 employees serving 1,900 members across six golf courses and pro shops.

Along with the six Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses, in early 2019 Desert Mountain Club will open a new, par 54 course, No. 7 at Desert Mountain, and celebrate the reopening of its original course, Renegade, following an extensive renovation. The golf operations also include a $1.6 million state-of-the-art Jim Flick Golf Performance Center, which is equipped with the most advanced technology available in the industry today. This 6,500-square-foot, one-stop facility addresses every possible golf instructional need including technique, fitness, and mental game performance.
