The Rail Golf Course is a par-72, 6,630-yard course in Springfield, IL. From the Blue tees it plays to a 71.3 rating and 127 slope.
The Rail Golf Course on Clubhouse Drive in northern Springfield takes its name from the railroad heritage that shaped this capital city's development: Springfield was a major Illinois Central and later multiple-line railroad hub, and the rail identity runs deep in the community. The course occupies terrain north of the city near the Sangamon County line, providing a northern option for Springfield golfers who might otherwise travel farther for recreational play. Chicago's influence on American golf history (as host of multiple major championships and home to some of the oldest private clubs in the country) permeates the broader Illinois golf culture and creates enthusiastic participation from north to south.
