Medinah Country Club is a private country club in Medinah, Illinois, roughly 25 miles west of downtown Chicago. Founded in 1924, it occupies a 640-acre estate and serves more than 1,100 members. The club operates across hospitality, golf, food and dining, and recreation, running the day-to-day service of a large members' property as well as large-scale event operations.
Golf is the anchor of the business: three championship courses designed by architect Tom Bendelow, supported by premier practice facilities. The club's record includes three U.S. Opens (1949, 1975, 1990), two PGA Championships (1999, 2006), the 2012 Ryder Cup, the 1988 U.S. Senior Open and three Western Opens (1939, 1962, 1966), and it is scheduled to host the 2026 Presidents Cup. Events of this scale require coordinated front-of-house, grounds, facilities and guest-services operations.
Beyond golf, the property includes dining venues, a racquet center, a swimming pool and a gun club. Its clubhouse is a Byzantine-style, Moroccan domed building with minarets that has defined the site for over a century. The stated culture emphasises family-oriented traditions, private-club hospitality and a commitment to excellence maintained across more than 100 years of continuous operation.
