Medinah Country Club

Two green renovation projects were completed at Medinah Country Club following the 1990 U.S. Open. In late 1991, the second and 13th greens were rebuilt, and in 1996 architect Roger Rulewich, formerly with the renowned Robert Trent Jones Sr., was commissioned to rebuild the first, 16th and 17th greens. No other significant changes have since been made to one of championship golf's most challenging layouts.
