Collins Park DGC is a great addition to the community!

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 1, 2024 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

*Very easily accessible by the White Oak Rail Trail or by driving
*TONS of available parking
*Great playground areas for kids
*Quieter park, not usually very crowded
*Disc Golf Baskets are still in great shape
*Concrete tee pads are still in new condition-great addition to the course
*Some holes are pretty tough, tight, and technical which I love
*Hole 4-amazing! Fantastic elevation change, love the tee pad, challenging hole
*Hole 6-beautiful open hole, I really love the open terrain on this hole, beautiful view of the park from the tee, it's a tough but fun shot
*Practice basket and also an ACE (hole in one) board which is a really unique and cool touch
*Picnic tables nearby all around the park
*The memorial benches are such a cool touch and nice to rest and relax on while playing, especially when we play multiple rounds and get tired
*Great community for disc golf here, we have met some other players who are very friendly
*Great use of signs at start of course and the tee display signs are accurate
*The paths between baskets are extremely worn in and easy to follow in my experiences
*The course website and facebook pages I have seen for this course are much more detailed and easier to navigate than many other courses in WV or just many other courses period (course maps are easy to find, don't have to search on multiple websites, google, and facebook pages taking forever looking for a course map if you have never played)

Cons:

*9 holes vs 18 holes but definitely understandable with the available space
*Getting from Hole 6 to Hole 7 could be a challenge if you have never played here before and didn't pay attention to any of the maps online or at the start of the course
*Area to right of Hole 2-be careful not to lose disc down this steep hill (susceptible to rolling discs)
*Area to right side of Holes 4 and 7 are also areas you want to avoid leaving the fairway, usually not an issue but just be careful.
*steep in areas and due to the challenging elevation shots of holes 4 and 5 particularly, the paths can become muddy and slightly slick after heavy rains (I feel like this is normal for most disc golf courses in WV though honestly)

Other Thoughts:

Fantastic 9 Hole disc golf course that has been great for this area! Significant maintenance has been done recently and it shows. We have met some hard working folks that help to maintain this course and some awesome people that play disc golf here. Other sign improvements are slated to be coming in the future here which is definitely very exciting. This course has definitely helped in some ways to ignite a growth of disc golf in the southern part of WV and after this public course was opened, a significant amount of new players are now playing the sport in southern WV and a significant amount of courses have now opened in southern WV.
