Golf in Medinah

Medinah is a small village in DuPage County, set in Chicago's western suburbs northwest of the city. Though modest in size, the village is known far beyond its borders as the home of one of American golf's most storied private clubs, a venue that has hosted major championships and international team competition. The surrounding terrain is the gently worked, wooded ground typical of the western suburbs. Medinah grew up around the club and the residential development that followed, retaining a quiet, low-key character despite the championship pedigree within its bounds. For golfers, the village's name is synonymous with the front rank of the sport, anchored by grounds that have drawn the game's biggest events. Medinah offers a round in a setting where golf history runs deep, set within the established western reaches of the metro.
