None. Infinitives in Spanish are nouns, not adjective, and in any case, Spanish adjectives are normally placed after the noun, not before the noun, like in English. I guess you mean to say "a challenging course", so it should be something like:Un curso difícil / arduoThe adjective "desafiante" means only "inviting someone for a fight or an argument".
