Presidents Cup Transportation

Medinah Country Club sits in Medinah, Illinois, about 25 miles northwest of downtown Chicago and a 25-minute drive from O'Hare. The 2026 Presidents Cup runs September 22-28 on Course No. 3 — the same layout that hosted the 1990 and 2006 U.S. Opens and the 2012 Ryder Cup. With practice rounds early in the week and four-ball, foursomes, and singles matches over the weekend, most attendees come out for two or more days.

The club is reached via Medinah Road off Lake Street (Route 20), with I-290 and I-355 feeding the area. On match days the local roads back up well before the gates open, and the dedicated spectator lots route shuttle buses on a fixed loop. A private chauffeur skips that line entirely: your driver drops you at the spectator entrance, then waits at a staging point off-site until you text after the last putt drops.

We work from the published tee-time windows to plan pickups. Morning sessions usually mean a pickup between 6:30 and 7:30 AM from your hotel; afternoon matches and evening hospitality events shift the day later. Tell us your gate and your group size and we build the timing around it.

Walking 18 holes in late-September weather and standing through a full day of matches is tiring. The last thing you want is to hunt for a rideshare in a field full of cars or wait 40 minutes for a shuttle. With a reserved chauffeur, the car is yours for the block you booked, and your driver knows exactly where to meet you.

The Escalade ESV is our most-requested vehicle for golf groups of four to six because it carries people and gear without anyone riding cramped. Corporate hospitality clients hosting eight to fourteen guests move to the Sprinter, which has the room for coolers, branded merchandise, and a full foursome plus partners. Individual attendees and executives flying in for a single day usually take the Lincoln sedan.

Rates are quoted flat at booking — there is no event surge on tournament days, which is the opposite of what rideshare apps do during a sold-out week. Royal Carriage has run Chicago golf and corporate transport since 2018, holds a 4.9 rating across 512 reviews, and bills corporate accounts directly when you need a single invoice for the week.
