Stay Where Tiger Stayed
This private, secluded house provides a perfect place to enjoy the 2012 Ryder Cup, offering you privacy, convenience and charm. Custom-built built in 2002, it looks like an old-fashioned Bed-and-Breakfast from the outside, but has all the modern conveniences inside. Tiger Woods chose this home to stay in when he won the 2006 PGA Championship at Medinah.
Convenience
Just 1-1/2 blocks from the Medinah Country Club, The front porch and the balcony off the library overlook the same river that flows in front of Medinah’s famed #17 water hole, while the back decks are nestled into a private half-acre of dense woods for total privacy. Scores of fine restaurants are just minutes away.
Charm
The soaring 2-story entry foyer with rustic cherry flooring leads into a large great room where a massive stone fireplace welcomes you. Beamed, ten-foot high ceilings, stone pillars and prairie-style sconce lighting give it a special aura.
The sunken 17 x 17-foot sun room is just steps away through a pair of double French doors. This room is built for comfort, with 12-foot high beam ceiling and heated tile floors. A wrap-around wood deck offers panoramic views of the river in front, the woods in the rear and landscaped gardens with meandering flagstone paths in the middle.
The 14-1/2 x 22-foot kitchen is a gourmet’s delight, featuring two stainless steel refrigerators, two GE Monogram dishwashers, a professional-grade stove and hood, Brazilian granite countertops and custom cabinets. An eight-foot butcher block island provides ample space for working and sitting. A French patio door leads off the kitchen to a cozy screen porch, just past the entertainment counter with under-cabinet beverage refrigerator.
This unique kitchen also features an eight-foot window overlooking a fishpond and the ½ acre of wood behind the house, while the other wall is covered with stone reaching up to the ten-foot ceiling highlighted by indirect lighting.

Or you can step out onto the 25-foot long balcony overlooking the river and the forest beyond.
