HOLE-BY-HOLE GUIDE TO MEDINAH

1st 434 yards, par 4: This narrow hole should start with a drive, landing between the 160- and 125-yard sprinklers to have a level second shot to the green. Hug the right side to avoid a difficult fairway bunker. The green is well-bunkered in front to catch any short or off-line iron and the green slopes from back to front. Do not be long, or you will have a tough up and down from a difficult collection area. The wind coming from the lake behind the green can affect the approach.

2nd 191 yards, par 3: Club selection is the key to this hole. Wide open to the lake on the left, the wind generally plays a major role. The green is guarded by Lake Kadijah and a new bunker behind. Do not be short!

3rd 414 yards, par 4: The drive should be right centre to set up a medium iron to the green. A drive near the left edge of the fairway will be blocked out to the green by trees, which is bunkered on both sides to catch an off-line approach.

4th 463 yards, par 4: The drive should land on the plateau near the 200-yard sprinklers; past that gives you a downhill lie. The second shot plays long to an elevated green that is well-bunkered and is tilted from back to front.

5th 537 yards, par 5: The shortest par five on the course, this hole can be reached in two. The tee is elevated but once on the fairway it is uphill all the way to the green. The drive should be right centre as trees can block a tee shot near the left edge of the fairway. If not going for the green, a medium iron lay up sets up a short pitch to the green.

6th 474 yards, par 4: A long par four with out-of-bounds to the left and trees along the right. A drive hit near the series of bunkers on the left leaves a medium to long iron. The green is tilted from back to front and a putt from the back can roll off the front.

7th 587 yards, par 5: This par five is very difficult to reach in two. The drive should be left centre; overhanging branches farther down the right side of the fairway can interfere with the second shot. The green is protected by three large, deep bunkers, and again is tilted from back to front.

8th 204 yards, par 3: The only par three on the course without water. Overhanging trees can catch an off-line tee shot. The green is well-bunkered front and right. All putts break toward the halfway house.

9th 435 yards, par 4: The drive should be toward the pine trees down the centre with a slight draw around the dog-leg. This will leave a medium iron to a green that slopes from back right to left front.

10th 579 yards, par 5: A long, strategic par five which is nearly impossible to reach in two. The drive should be played toward the right centre of the fairway and short of the fairway bunkers. The safe second shot is a mid or long iron, hit to the centre of the fairway near the 130-yard sprinklers. A longer shot risks the dangers of the two bunkers in that area. The approach to the green must be very accurate because the green is small, well-bunkered and very steep.

11th 438 yards, par 4: A dog-leg left that requires a well-placed drive toward the fairway bunker. Too far left and the large oaks block out the approach; too far right can change it from a short iron to a long iron. The green is well-bunkered left and fairly flat.

12th 471 yards, par 4: The longest par four at Medinah. The drive should be left centre. Overhanging trees on the right near the 130-yard sprinklers will block a second shot to the green. The fairway leading to the green slopes sharply to the right. Balls landing in this area kick toward the water on the right. Large oak trees guard the green on the left, making it difficult to land a faded approach. The green slopes steeply from back left toward the front right and will hold a long iron or fairway wood into the green.

13th 244 yards, par 3: Before choosing a club for this long par three, check the hole placement and wind direction. Three bunkers catch any tee shot that does not land on the green. This two-tiered green slopes steeply from back to front.

14th 605 yards, par 5: The longest par five on the course features a small, well-bunkered green. The drive is into a hill and tends to run right. The second shot must clear another hill to leave a short iron to the green. The bunkers protecting the front of the green catch any shot that is short. A green that is tilted from back to front and has several subtle breaks.

15th 392 yards, par 4: This narrow par four sets up perfectly for a well-placed tee shot down the middle, leaving a medium to short iron into the green. The green is well-bunkered in front with mounds in the back. A ridge coming in from the right forms a small plateau in the right rear.

16th 453 yards, par 4: The toughest par four on the course. A long dog-leg left to an elevated green. The drive must be down the left centre. Anything to the right makes a long approach even longer. The valley in front of the green makes the approach all carry. The second shot plays one club longer to this elevated green.

17th 197 yards, par 3: As with the other par three holes, the wind can play tricks with the flight of the ball. The green being placed back down the hill brings Lake Kadijah into play. A pot bunker back left makes for a difficult up and down.

18th 443 yards, par 4: The finishing hole is a long par four. The tee shot should be placed left centre to avoid the series of fairway bunkers down the right side. The approach shot is into an elevated green guarded by two greenside bunkers and a difficult collection area back right.
