Coon Creek Hunt Club. A friend of mine works there and says they' ve got a lot of birds on the land and the place is very well maintained. They' re located just West of Marengo, IL in Garden Prairie I believe.
Check out their site.

I went out to Rock Hollow Hunt Club in Freeport last year and had a great time. It was my first time out and the staff was awesome. I got a guided hunt, paid an extra $35 plus tip. It was well worth it. The guide gave some great tips and watching his dog work was a treat all in itself. Afterwards, they have a great bar area to relax, have a buffalo burger and a beverage (or two) of choice 
. I would definitely recommend them for your first time. I hope to get back out there once or twice this season. Good Luck.

Tony, what Remington did you get? I got my 870 Super Magnum last year from GAT Guns in Dundee (used for $279) and the addiction began. I got a Ruger Red Label O/U a few weeks ago and am very eager to get that out in the field.

Can' t believe I am actually going to plug these guys, but here is one in Central Illinois.

Never been there, I hear they are pretty good. I just have a difference in opinion with some of the guys there.
But I do know that they are advertised on this site!!
