I'm extremely fortunate to have gotten an out-of-the-blue invite to play these two courses in a few weeks. I've played neither, though I've seen a few holes at Butler (about six years ago). Anything in particular I should look out for?
-
Women -- at Butler -- so they can host the US Open. ;D

Exactly.
Carl,
It's hard to find two consecutive par 4s that are tougher than #9 and #10 at Butler. Par both holes and you've accomplished a great feat. If you birdie either hole, send in your entry fee for Q School. ;D
-
And if you birdie both, you advance directly to the Tour.
Butler has more holes you can make an 8 on without trying than any other course in Chicago. Medinah No. 3 may be second in that respect, especially if you get cute on the par 3s over water.
-
I have no trouble making an 8 just about anywhere in Chicago :'( (indeed two of them on Tuesday. . .)
-
So if you had 10 rounds, how would you split them?

i thought Butler was much harder than Medinah..played Butler twice - and shittily both times! >:(

I don't think it's hard to find 2 consecutive holes that are harder-try the 17th and 18th at Butler!These are longer and you have to work the ball. 9 and 10 just require 2 very long, straight shots that land softly. ;)
Not a place to play when you are old and short! Jack
