About Medinah Country Club (Course 3)
Medinah Country Club's Course No. 3 has hosted three U.S. Opens, the 1999 PGA Championship won by Tiger Woods, and the memorable 2012 Ryder Cup ("The Miracle of Medinah"). Built in a forest preserve setting north of Chicago, the course features Lake Kadijah influencing play on multiple holes and demanding long par-4s through dense tree corridors.
Betting Intelligence
SG: Off-the-Tee through tree-lined corridors where errant drives result in lost balls or punched-out lay-ups. SG: Approach to elevated, bentgrass greens. Lake Kadijah influences risk-reward on key holes. The long par-4s (multiple over 460 yards) strongly favor elite ball-strikers. Illinois weather variability, especially wind off the lake, amplifies difficulty.
