BOLINGBROOK, Il – Bolingbrook Golf Club, the Village of Bolingbrook and KemperSports are pleased to announce that the club will serve as one of eight tournament sites in the Forme Tour’s 2021 tournament schedule. The inaugural season begins in late June and concludes in mid-September, with 156 players on the tour making a stop at Bolingbrook Golf Club from July 20-23.
“On behalf of the Village of Bolingbrook, we are excited to welcome some of the country’s best players to Bolingbrook Golf Club this summer,” said Bolingbrook Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta. “Tournament week will give players, caddies and tour staff the chance to experience all that the village has to offer, with award-winning golf, premier lodging and dining options nearby the course.”
Bolingbrook Golf Club, managed by KemperSports, is committed to delivering an enjoyable golf experience for players of all skill levels and offers a variety of programs for adults, juniors and families. The club serves as a community asset for Bolingbrook and the surrounding Chicagoland area and provides a recreational outlet that brings members, residents and guests together.
“At Bolingbrook Golf Club, we are committed to showcasing the benefits and joys of the game of golf at all levels of play, and this high-caliber event is our opportunity to showcase our remarkable facility and golf experience.

The Forme Tour, a newly created, U.S. based mini-tour, provides a path to the Korn Ferry Tour for the season’s top finishers and offers Official World Golf Ranking points with 72-hole events. Forme announced its sponsorship of the Forme Tour back in April, giving PGA TOUR Canada members a place to play after the global pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 season. Forme Tour players represent 21 different countries, with 84 percent of the membership coming from the United States.
