Chennault Green is easily the best of the three courses located in this park. It's a solid course with no dumb holes. It has enough shade to stay cool, the grass is always mowed well, and it has my personal favorite baskets, the Prodigy T1s. What's not to like? It comes up short in the wow factor. There's not really any holes where you could be punished straight off the tee, like on a tight wooded course. There's no elevation changes to spice it up. It's a lot of drive, short up shot, putt and get your three, although if you're really sharp you can score low here.

Hole 5 and 6 are the most memorable to me. 5 has the tightest fairway on the course (although still fairly wide) and 6 is a good par 4 that rewards a long and accurate tee shot, the longer off the tee you get without going OB left or into thick woods on the right, the easier your upshot will be into a green guarded by trees and an OB path.

To sum it up, it's good, just not exciting. It's a good place for a league round or a tournament. If you can only play one course in Monroe though, choose one of the two at Lazarre Park.

Chennault Park is conveniently located to the interstate near the Pecanland Mall and airport in Monroe. The Green course was added earlier this year and begins right next to the existing course that has what most refer to as "culverts" for targets: you basically throw your disc into a concrete bucket on that old course.

The Green course has new, green Prodigy baskets. It is laid out in a typical open park that has a moderate amount of mature trees along with walking paths, fences and a significant amount of OB on what seems like every hole to add some challenge. Still, it is a fairly open course that I would describe as only lightly wooded.

The grounds were well manicured when I played, with mostly short turf grass on the whole course. Several holes play along the boundaries of the park with most others playing along various roadways, a ball field, a horseshoe "arena," and a number of paved walking paths. There were very few others in the park on the day that I played with no cross play issues. There appears to be little problem with encroaching on other activities or those activities interfering with your round.

The Green Course is supposed to have two tee "boxes" for the longer holes and all tees are marked by small, half-buried, concrete markers. The holes are mostly long and open with one or two trees to throw around on most holes and no obstructions around any of the baskets that get in the way of putting.

There is a portable toilet in the parking area near the first tee.

This is a boring and repetitive course. Almost every hole can be reached with a long hyzer. There is so little to distinguish the holes that few of them are memorable in any way. The first three holes have walking paths near the basket for OB danger. One of the holes has a ditch nearby for a significant elevation change on a long putt. The rest are open and long with OB in the form of the Park boundary, roadways, a baseball/softball field and a fenced-in horseshoe "arena."

NAVIGATION. There are no tee signs. The tee markers are unpainted, gray concrete that do not stick above the height of the mown grass. The only way to identify the tee boxes from more than 25 feet away is by finding the worn areas in the grass. The three of us that played had to spread out and search for the tee box on EVERY hole. Had I been by myself, I would have probably given up. Navigation is miserably bad. If you are traveling through and want to bag this course, and you are by yourself, plan on an extra hour to find the tee boxes. I am not sure that we played from the correct tee box on every hole. I have been to courses with no markers for the tee boxes that have easier-to-find tees.

There are also no next-tee indicators or signs. This is exceptionally problematic in a few areas where crossing the road is required to find the next tee box, but where crossing the road to find the next tee box is not necessarily obvious.

The course is simply flat. The only elevation changes are afforded by drainage ditches. They were all dry when I played. I supposed that during rainier times, there might be some water in play, in which case the elevation changes would disappear.

The lack of tee pads on such a flat course would likely be problematic when the course is wet. However, I did not find the teeing areas to be a problem when I played.

This course needs, in order: 1) tee signs; 2) next-tee indicators; and, 3) tee markers or concrete tee pads. Navigation is just too much of a problem for those not already familiar with the layout. I could see bumping my rating up a half point or so if I hadn't had to spend so much time just looking for the next tee.

For those coming through town, I would strongly suggest that you spend your time at Lazarre Park which offers a much more varied and challenging disc golf experience on its two excellent courses, albeit with a few navigational issues of its own.

The city takes very good care of this park due to the large soccer facility & traditional golf course that have been there forever & because of that this course benefits big time. The grass is almost always cut, regardless of the weather. This course is fairly open & easy to navigate. The Am tees keep this course fun for all ages & divisions. Plenty of land to expand this course, or add new pins/tees.

Needs signage, BAD! The tees need work in making them easier to find & establishing where they start & stop. Am tees are hard to find, which gets frustrating.

To be a brand new course, still not even 6 months old, this course is awesome! It show's great potential in becoming even better. It's good to see the city supporting disc golf like this, as there are already talks of another course somewhere within the park.
