About this course

Chennault Park Golf Course is a municipal facility in Monroe, Louisiana, serving the northeastern part of the state. The course takes its name from the surrounding park, which honors General Claire Lee Chennault, the Monroe native who commanded the famous Flying Tigers during World War II. The layout provides accessible public golf in a region where municipal options have historically been limited, and it functions as an important community amenity for local golfers and families. The course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the Louisiana Delta region, with mature trees—primarily pine, oak, and sweetgum—defining fairway corridors and providing natural separation between holes. Water features appear on several holes, reflecting the area's high water table and the drainage patterns common to courses built in this part of the state. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels, with straightforward hole configurations that reward accuracy over distance. Chennault Park operates as a traditional municipal course with modest green fees and a welcoming atmosphere for beginners, junior golfers, and recreational players. The facility includes a practice area and clubhouse serving basic food and beverage needs. The course reflects the character of small-city public golf in the South: unpretentious, community-focused, and maintained within the constraints of municipal budgets. It provides an affordable option for Monroe residents and visitors exploring golf in northeastern Louisiana.
