Are you aware that the Hinsdale Metra Station isn't near the golf course you reference?

It can't be much more than a mile or two miles down Chicago Ave, right? I've driven past it.

And the station is closer to the tollway than the golf club, right?

I'm only marginally familiar with the Hinsdale Metra stop (more familiar with others on the line), but I've walked the (immediate) area . . . my recollection is that it is not located in such a manner that one could approach it at a high rate of speed. :)

There are, or were, three stops in Hinsdale on the Burlington Line. One under the Highway 83 bridge near the Lions club pool, the next is downtown that backed on Burlington St, and one east near the Hinsdale San, near County Line Road. The next stop was Western Springs, and you had already crossed over I-294.

The Hinsdale CC is up on 47th, west of 83 (now Kingery Rd), actually in Clarendon Hills, across from Prospect Park, and stretched up to Ogden Ave. 2 miles from downtown Hinsdale, minimum.
