"TO BUILD THE BEST COUNTRY CLUB IN NORTH AMERICA..." was the goal for the founders of Medinah Country Club. The storied history of the club centers around this commitment to excellence, a commitment enduring over 90 years. In the early 1920s the club's founders, a group of Shriner's from Chicago's Medinah Temple, sought to create a country retreat. Tom Bendelow, world-renowned Scottish course architect was retained to design the original three golf courses.

Fenwick alumnus and Hall of Fame member Chuck Wolande '72 will host three guests to join him at Medinah Country Club for one round of golf (on Course 1 or 2), lunch and great company.

Course #1
In September 1925, the Shriners enjoyed their first round of golf at Medinah on Course #1. In 2014 a redesign by famed course architect Tom Doak was completed.

Course #2
In 1926 construction on Course #2 was complete. Renowned course architect Rees Jones completed a restoration in 2017.
