How Much It Costs To Play Bolingbrook Golf Course - LIV Golf Chicago Host
Bolingbrook Golf Club near Chicago will be firmly in the spotlight for the final regular event of the LIV Golf season – here’s how much it costs to play the municipal course


LIV Golf surprised many in April by announcing that its final regular event of the season would take place at Chicago's Bolingbrook Golf Club.
That caused a stir because, not only is it the first time a LIV Golf event will be held at the course, which is located around 30 miles from downtown Chicago, but it doesn’t have a history of hosting many professional events at all.
Perhaps the most high-profile event at Bolingbrook in recent years was a stop on the Forme Tour in 2021, an eight-event schedule created by the PGA Tour in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions, which was designed to provide competition for non-Canadian PGA Tour Canada players.
For the record, that event was the Bolingbrook Golf Club Invitational, which was held that July and won by Mac Meissner. The tournament had an overall purse of $115,000, so it’s safe to say that the venue has never known anything quite like the huge money – and profile – of a LIV Golf event, let alone one that will determine the outcome of the lucrative season-long Individual Championship.
Nevertheless, thanks to the decision, Bolingbrook will see two-time Major winner Jon Rahm and Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann battle it out for the $18m bonus payout that comes with being named Individual Champion, while the 54-player field as a whole will compete for a tournament payout of $25m, far outstripping the money available at any other men's elite golf tournament this week.

The municipal course, designed by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest and opened in 1992, is a par-72 layout featuring elevated tees, rolling fairways, strategic bunkering and seven lakes.
The par-5 fifth, which measures 600 yards, is a standout hole, while the signature hole is the par-3 15th, which has an island green. The venue also has a 76,000 square-foot clubhouse.
