An average muni course with a $75 tee time
I wouldn't say that makes a course terrible. Memorial averages around $75 if you merge resident and non resident fees, and that one seems to be universally praised by the podcasts I listen to. Having said that, I know nothing about Bolingbrook.

Pride will grasp at anything & everything to try & make LIV Golf look bad. It’s comical

LIV needs to punt America. It’s clear it’s not wanted here
This will be their 3rd year in a row going to Chicago. They were at Rich Harvest Farms the past two years, but it looks like Bolingbrook is a little closer to downtown Chicago.
quote:
“It’s been decided that after two successful seasons at Rich Harvest Farms, the club’s membership will not have any disruptions to its play this year,” Rich Harvest Farms General Manager Jonathan Meagher told Golfweek. “We are pleased to see that LIV Golf continues to have an event in the Chicagoland area.”

The 13th tournament of the season, the LIV Golf Chicago event will determine team seeds for the 2024 Team Championship (location to be announced), crown the season’s individual champion and solidify player status for 2025. Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, May 8.
“The passionate sports fans of Chicago have embraced the intense competition and fan-first experience that LIV Golf delivers, and this year it will be an incredible setting for a high-stakes event as players battle it out for the individual title and a roster spot for 2025,” said Commissioner and CEO Greg Norman.

Designed by famed architect Arthur Hills and partner Steve Forrest, Bolingbrook Golf Club, located just 30 miles from downtown Chicago, features a 156-yard island green on its signature 15th hole. The 7,104-yard layout offers rolling fairways and elevated greens winding around seven lakes. Selected by the PGA Tour as one of the host venues for the Forme Tour in 2021, Bolingbrook will host this year’s LIV Golf Chicago event

I have played it a few times. It's decent enough, but I would have never imagined that it would be selected to host a tournament for a major international tour. Apparently, Rich Harvest Farms basically told them to go shite in a hat.
There are 10 - 15 better publicly-accessible courses in Chicago alone, nevermind the 15 or so world-class private clubs in the area.
I will say that I bet the crowd will be pretty solid there.
