Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course
About
The highly popular El Campeon Course at Mission Inn Resort consistently ranks in the top 10 of Florida's many golf courses. The course originally opened in 1917 and decades later in 1992, it was joined by a second 18-hole course, Las Colinas. El Campeon is not only one of the state's oldest golf courses but also one of its most challenging. The traditional design remains largely unchanged except for a renovation in 1926. The course winds through towering forests and numerous spring-fed lakes. The layout features water on thirteen holes as well as dramatic elevation changes that measure over 85 feet across the rolling fairways and undulating greens. The signature hole of the golf course is the par-5 17th. This lengthy double dogleg possesses more hazards than some entire courses do.

Rain rain goabway
The rain before the round made the course soggy. We had a sow group in front and one pushing behind us. But is a cool course and I’m looking forward to playing it again.
Course under repair
Even though the course was getting some
major hole upgrades and had recently been
dressed it’s still the scenic challenge we look
forward to playing.
The rate for 18 was more than fair considering
the few diversions we had to take for the repairs.
Disappointing Experience
Upon checking in I was informed the 7th hole was closed for a construction project…no problem. What wasn’t mentioned was that the greens had been recently punched and sanded. Range balls, not included, pay. Water on the carts…nope, pay. A 17 hole golf course with bumpy sandy greens and they can’t throw in a small bucket of range balls or put a couple of bottles of water in the cart. It’s July in Florida!! I’d heard good things about the course but I guess management isn’t paying attention. Lastly, they could have made #7 a par 3, the construction was all in the first half of the hole. Cart staff was terrific
Course
Course was in nice condition, course was playing nice just a couple of green of aeration, but course playing great
Great Day of Golf
Good day of golf, course had construction hole #10 was closed, had to double on a par 5. Other than construction it was a great day, good pace of play not much traffic. A bit sparse for cart and ability to get drinks and snacks.
Beautiful challenge!
El Champeon is a beautiful traditional style course with msny elevation changes. In order to score you must keep the ball in the Fairways. The greens were smooth and true, probably the best greens in florida.. I definitely need to play it again.
Excellent
Perfect conditions. Food was wonderful, too. Staff was very attentive.
You should book here.
The staff was welcoming and helpful at every interaction. The course is GORGEOUS, scenic and well maintained. The course is challenging, but just enough to make you want to come back! We look forward to returning. My only complaint, the Ladies' room near hole 8 doesn't flush properly.
Challenging Course
Course was in great condition other than some maintenance going on and we could not play Hole 10. It’s a challenging course but overall was fun to play.
