Research notes

  • PGA TOUR says the 646-yard par-5 PC 6 (members' 10th) plays downwind, with two blind shots, the narrowest unbunkered drive zone on the course, and two sentinel oaks. ('Notable par 5: No. 6')[1]
  • Golf Course Architecture reported that No. 3 closed in October 2022 for tree removal and demolition, construction began in April 2023, and all shaping and grassing were done by mid-October 2023. (opening paragraphs)[2]
  • Golf Course Architecture reported the membership approved OCM's $23.5 million master plan in December 2021, with construction set for 2023 and reopening in 2024. (lead)[3]
  • Klein writes that fairways now have a 5-foot collar of 1.5-inch intermediate rough, with 4-inch rough beyond, a change suggested by U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker. ('Golf course provides big playing field')[1]
  • Mike Cocking told Golf Course Architecture the project is best described as part restoration, part renovation and part redesign. (Cocking quote)[2]
  • PGA TOUR lists No. 3's events: the Western Open (1939, 1962, 1966), U.S. Opens (1949, 1975, 1990), 1988 U.S. Senior Open, PGA Championships (1999, 2006), 2012 Ryder Cup and 2019 BMW Championship. ('Storied Medinah' section)[1]
  • PGA TOUR reports Presidents Cup matches start on members' No. 5, and matches that go the distance finish on members' Nos. 1-4. The stated reasons: about 80% of matches end by the 16th, so the lake holes arrive at the climax, and the start sits nearer spectator entry. ('Set-up sees sequence changes')[1]
  • PGA TOUR's Bradley Klein reports that fairway area doubled from 29 to 58 acres, bunkers rose from 70 to 117, and average green size grew more than 40%, from 6,000 to 8,600 square feet. ('A whole new ballpark' / 'Golf course provides big playing field')[1]
