Guest Information

Upon arrival, we ask that you please stop at our security gate (located on Medinah Rd.) and present your name and the name of your host member. Guests are invited to valet their vehicle at our valet stand (located on the Northwest side of The Shop) or park in the main parking lot. Golfers should check in with our helpful outside services team in front of The Shop (same location as valet) for bag drop. Cash tipping is allowed. Non-golfers may head to the main entrance of the clubhouse and check in with reception.

At Medinah Country Club, we take pride in upholding a tradition of excellence—both on and off the course. As part of that commitment, our dress code ensures that all members and guests enjoy an atmosphere of respect, elegance, and decorum. We kindly ask that all visitors review and adhere to the following guidelines to help preserve the distinguished experience that defines Medinah.

Jeans, or denim material of any color, are not permitted on the club premises, except when specifically approved for a special event. Cargo shorts are also not permitted on the club premises. Hats worn on club premises must be worn bill forward and may not be worn on the main level of the clubhouse and above at any time.

Golf Course
Proper attire on our golf courses, practice range, and all putting greens is required. Proper attire includes a collared golf shirt or mock turtleneck tucked in, sweaters, pullovers, jackets, slacks, golf shorts, which are similar in style to walking and/or Bermuda shorts of appropriate and tasteful length, and suitable golf footwear.
Not permitted on the golf course: Demin materials or jeans of any kind, t-shirts, undershirts, athletic/sweatshirts, sweatsuits, cargo pants, cutoffs, running shorts, cargo shorts, inappropriate-length shorts, tennis attire, swimming attire, halter tops, and fishnet tops are not allowed on the golf courses, practice range or putting greens.

Clubhouse
The clubhouse dress code generally follows that of the golf courses in most areas. Golf shirts must be tucked in at all times. Non-collared shirts are not permitted at any time. Open-toed shoes, such as sandals, are permitted. Golf shoes are not permitted in the non-dining spaces of the clubhouse. Hats may only be worn (bill forward) in the lower level.

Other Club Facilities
Proper seasonal tennis attire is required for all members and guests at the Racquet Center. Proper swimming attire is required in and around the pool and surrounding dining establishments. Casual or golf attire is acceptable in the Lodge, and jeans and denim clothing are allowed while participating in winter sports (i.e., trap and skeet shooting).
