I understand "spectacular" is a non-neutral adjective, but this is no ordinary clubhouse. From their Website, blends "the classic lines of Byzantine, Oriental, Louis XIV, and Italian architecture characteristic of many Masonic structures." Masonic?

Byzantine is fine. — goethean ॐ 18:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Medinah was founded by Masons. I've been there, the place is an architectural hodgepodge (this is not to say it's ugly). Byzantine is not far off though. Anyway I've cleaned up the prose, which sounded like it was written by a wannabe sports writer, was accordingly threaded and laced with wanton PoV and had little to do with the club's history.

I agree with GG. Much of this information comes from the year 2000 book The Spirit of Medinah, a 75th anniversary history of the club written by Tim Cronin. He's a local Chicago sports writer, hence the tone. Though distributed to MCC members, a limited number of editions are publically available (I'm no member, but own a copy). If you want to golf course #3 or to get a copy of Cronin's book, they pop up a couple of times per year as charity auctions on eBay. --Robertkeller 17:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Environment and golfs[edit]

This could be interresting for this paper ? ; "IT WAS just a short time ago at the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah Country Club that then USGA President Grant Spaeth announced the funding of a three-year research program that would focus on the impact of golf course activities on the environment." --Lamiot (talk) 18:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
