This would have easily been spotted by a ranger. As for the course itself, I've seen it in better shape in the past. The greens had many ball marks that were repaired and the tee boxes were as hard as rock. The fairways were in good shape. Decent price but too slow of a round.

Jay Davis is a professional golfer, that is now living in Springfield. My golf game has not…read moreimproved in 20 years, and although I have had lessons, and practice primarily at East Bank Club, it does not translate in the game. I friend who I was just playing golf with in Mexico has improved his game, and credits Jay Davis. Jay is in Springfield, Illinois. This does not help me, I'm obviously not traveling 3 hours from Chicago to Springfield for a golf lesson. I do go to downstate Illinois, Springfield and St. Louis a couple times a year, so I figured I'll try and schedule a golf lesson with Jay when I'm near him. Last week I discovered Jay was visiting Chicago, and he planned on doing playing lessons in Chicago for a few select clients each month. This is what I have needed, to start the lesson on the range, then to take a golf instructor onto a golf course. I just had my first golf lesson with Jay Davis, here in Chicago, and it was at the driving range. He is a great teacher. He took my golf swing, which has 20 years of abuse and muscle memory, and made it easier for me to hit the ball square and consistently. I could go on all day, but the bottom line is, I have an appointment for a golf lesson scheduled for April, a playing lesson. It will be here in Chicago, and I am excited to get on the course. I am so confident that my game is going to improve through his instruction, I am keeping a card this year. Jay Davis is primarily teaching golf in Springfield, Illinois, but he is visiting Chicago on occasion. I think Jay Davis is the best golf instructor I have worked with in 20 years of learning, practicing, and playing golf. If you enjoy golf, or if you play golf, and have lost money to your golf buddies, you should fix your golf game. Call Jay Davis.

I cannot speak to Jay's ability to improve your golf game. As I have never used this service. But I…read morecan say that the number associated on this yelp page is incorrect. The number is to a person who is not Jay and mentioned that he constantly gets calls about people looking for Jay. I would recommend trying to find another number as you will get nowhere with this, and probably annoy someone in the process.

The Rail is a gem of Midwestern golf design. The course is challenging for those with length and…read moreplayable for those of us that don't. Its multi tiered greens offer a variety of approaches that evolve with the seasons and consistently provide the best surfaces in the area. The clubhouse staff are led by Jesse Noelke, a wonderful pro that makes golf fun for the kiddos at his camps over the summertime. I play the Rail regularly and feel challenged each time out. It evolves with the seasons and is always impeccably maintained. Overall it is a fantastic destination golf course that is easily accessible from interstates 55 and 72. I recommend The Rail to any golfer that is looking for an interesting and challenging course that is priced below comparably impressive courses I've played.
