Collins Park Golf Course

About this course
Collins Park Golf Course, a Toledo institution, embodies the spirit of accessible, community golf. Carved from the flatlands of northern Ohio, its relatively open, straightforward layout betrays its age. The course favors a right-to-left ball flight due to the placement of many of its bunkers and treelines. While not attributed to a marquee name, Collins Park stands as a testament to the era of municipal course design, prioritizing playability over architectural flourish. Its charm lies in its unpretentious nature, offering a welcoming atmosphere for golfers of all skill levels. The course has long been rumored to be built atop an old Native American hunting ground, giving an extra sense of history and lore to the course and members. Collins Park has never hosted a major championship, but its true value lies in its role as a community hub. Generations of Toledo golfers have learned the game within its boundaries, fostering a deep sense of local pride. Post-round gatherings at the clubhouse are a regular occurrence, and the friendly competition is always on tap. The course and the club are proud of their long standing league play, and how it’s helped mold the character of Toledo golf over the decades.

The journey to Collins Park Golf Course begins at Toledo Express Airport, a compact regional hub just twenty minutes northwest of the city, or Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), roughly an hour's drive south across the Michigan line for those connecting through a larger gateway. From either direction, the approach follows Interstate 75 or the Maumee River corridor into Toledo's west side, where the urban grid gives way to quiet residential streets and the green expanse of the municipal park system. Collins Park itself sits tucked within a neighborhood setting, its tree-lined fairways emerging as a welcome retreat from the surrounding cityscape - an accessible, unpretentious arrival befitting one of Toledo's enduring public layouts.
