Collins Park DGC plays mostly around the periphery of and occasionally through a small town park. The course is surprisingly technical given the modest surroundings, using the woods that surround the park to create some tight shots and well-guarded pins. Elevation is a significant factor on numerous holes, turning the tightly-laned tunnel shot on 4 into a challenging downhill drive and spicing up numerous approaches and putts through some hillside pin placements. 6 sports a raised tee that gives a different feel to an otherwise largely open drive. The terrain's features are thusly utilized well throughout the course in an effort that maximizes technical challenge despite the land's limitations. A few more open holes create an impressive mix of environments relative to the short 9-hole layout.

Hole distances feel somewhat more expansive and varied than how they look on paper owing to the aforementioned effective use of elevation.

The course is well-signed, helping greatly with navigation.

In addition to the general limitations of a short-ish 9 hole course in a small town park, this course's technical leanings make for a bit of an odd mix: many holes are far too hard to be considered suitable for beginners, but the dense rough and occasionally awkward shots make many such holes less rewarding and more annoying for experienced players. Between the rough and some of the more drastic elevation changes, there's a real threat of losing a disc on a few holes. This can reasonably deter you from attempting otherwise interesting shots. It's a hard course to recommend for, say, breaking up a long drive when you could easily end up hunting for your disc.

The course and surrounding area is a touch rough around the edges.

An interestingly technical short course that may or may not be worth a visit depending on how adverse you are to ending up hunting through some rough.
