Though I do not live near Springfield, I've played the Rail hundreds of times. The course is terrific and a good challenge when the wind is up.
For years the conventional wisdom was the Rail was an unfriendly shop to daily fee golfers, and it was true. Over the last several years, that's changed. Nice folks in the pro shop, well maintained course and an RTJ track. It's not Medinah, but it's not bad.
They also do outings very well. You'll be glad you came.
