Medinah #3 at Medinah Country Club - Private

Description

Medinah Country Club boasts three different 18-hole courses designed by Tom Bendelow, simply named No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. The first course dates back to 1925 and the latest addition, 3, was added three years later, though it has undergone a few different redesigns over the years. The No. 3 course has hosted several major events including two PGA Championships and three U.S. Opens. Its length is what the course is known for. When it hosted the 2006 PGA Championship, it was the longest major championship venue at the time. There is also an abundance of trees and thick rough to contend with throughout the course. Lake Kadijah has a prominent presence on the layout, including four holes that require crossing the finger of the lake. The treacherous 17th hole has been a deciding factor of some of the course's major events.
