THE COURSE
Medinah Country Club is one of the most prominent private country clubs in the country located just 25 miles west of the city, in the Chicago suburbs. Founded in the 1920s by a group of Shriners, Medinah Country Club boasts three world class golf courses, all originally designed by famed golf course architect Tom Bendelow. The massive 120,000-square foot clubhouse designed by Richard Schmid provides a place for families and individuals who wish to participate in a variety of community activities from health and wellness to dining and engaging social activities.
 
Reopened in June 2017, the classic 1925 course was restored to its original look and strategy. Suited for every golfer, the seven tees correspond to seven skill groups designated by color and is based on a number of criteria including handicaps, age, gender, and level of interest. This new playing opportunity is known as the "Golf For Life" program.
