Ten 582 yards | Par 5
The 10th hole at Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 Course is a 582 yard par 5. Most golfers have to leave their drive short of two fairway bunkers that pinch the fairway. Two more bunkers come into play on the lay-up. And finally, four more bunkers guard the pitched green.
Eleven 407 yards | Par 4

Twelve 471 yards | Par 4
The 12th hole on Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 Course is a 471 yard par 4, the course’s longest par 4. As the fairway snakes toward the green, it slopes severely to the right, which could bring into play a sliver of water to the right.
Thirteen 219 yards | Par 3
The 13th hole at Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 Course is a 219 yard par 3. It’s the second of three par 3s on the course that play across a finger of Lake Kadijah. The green is two-tiered and slopes from back to front; three bunkers surround it.
Fourteen 583 yards | Par 4
The 14th hole at Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 Course is a 583 yard par 4. The narrow fairway stair-steps up up to the green, with three “hills” demarcating the different levels of the fairway. A semicircle of bunkers ring the front of the green.

The 15th hole at Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 Course is a 389 yard par 4.
Sixteen 452 yards | Par 4
The 16th hole at Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 Course is a 452 yard par 4 and the second dogleg-left par 4 on the back nine. According to the Medinah Web site, this is considered the toughest par 4 on the course. The green is elevated, and a valley in front of the green makes running the ball up impossible.
Seventeen 206 yards | Par 3
The 17th hole at Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 Course is perhaps the best-known on the course. It has played a big role in deciding some of the major events held on this course, being a treacherous par 3 late in the round. Its 206 yards is all over water. The front of the green sits hard against Lake Kadijah and a deep bunker in the back left is not a good spot to be.
Eighteen 445 yards | Par 4
The 18th hole at Medinah Country Club’s No. 3 Course is a 445 yard par 4. Two bunkers guard the elevated green, and a collection area sits to the back right of the green. The club’s tall flagpole is directly behind the green.
