Course layout

Medinah Country Club Course #3 [4]

Medinah went through a major course renovation in 2022 and 2023, by reworking their drainage, irrigation, greens and bunkers. The first 12 holes remained mostly unchanged, but two par 3's (holes 13 and 17) as well a short drivable par 4 (15th hole) were removed, which meant three new holes were introduced. The number of bunkers increased from 70 to 117, which more than doubled the total sand area. Most of the course fairways were straightened and narrowed, which meant the course would only have 48 acres of rough area. The green sizes increased over 40%.

For this Presidents Cup only, the course was rerouted, with rounds starting on what is normally hole 5, proceeding around the course in typical order and ending with the final four holes being 1, 2, 3 and 4. The PGA Tour wanted to ensure that the end of matches would see the water holes around Lake Kadijah. [5]
