"Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening 
– and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented."

This iteration focuses on a key component, the new Course #3 designs, which reflect enhancements to some existing holes, restoring holes to their more strategic original intent, and creating some new holes. As you review the hole designs, pay particular attention to the Master Plan Summary found on the first inside page. The summary details the key design goals and provides an excellent context for hole-by-hole descriptions.

We hosted several town hall meetings to explain new information as it developed and to collect member feedback.

Dear [RECIP_TITLE] [RECIP_LASTNAME]

It is without question that our food & beverage operations at the club have changed as of late and will continue to do so incrementally over the next few months, adding more amenities as we go.

Although we can't predict with certainty what lies ahead, we can tell you that our team remains committed to providing you with the best possible experience, given our resources.

So, what does the new dining experience look like, and what can you expect?

We're thrilled to inform you that our team has worked diligently to create an al fresco dining experience for you and your family. Upon entering the backyard, you will see that we have safely and strategically positioned dining tables, with umbrellas, in three different and distinct areas.

While we are not offering table-service currently, we trust that you will both enjoy and appreciate the creative and robust offerings we have prepared for you.

The Food Truck is nestled between the first tee-box on Course #2, with a newly constructed outdoor bar, courtesy of the Medinah engineering department. The menu was designed with an array of beautifully prepared items from Executive Chef Matthew Gilbert and his culinary team.

Across from the Oasis patio is our newly acquired competition Yoder Smoker, which will serve regional barbecue favorites, along with hearty, traditional side dishes.

In addition to both of these culinary amenities, you will also see that we have opened your favorite Cabana Bar, with some enticing new selections, courtesy of our sommelier, Beverage Manager Taylor Nissen.

We invite you to belly-up to the bar for your favorite libation, or to try one of our new additions, like the Medinah's "Session" Hazy IPA, brewed by Church Street Brewing Co. in Itasca.

The Medinah Food and Beverage team continue to appreciate your patience as we navigate these uncertain times, and we very much look forward to welcoming you to your new Medinah Experience.

Sincerely,

-Your Food and Beverage Team
