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.

Challenging layout that was unique which makes this a special place. Prepping for college tournament so greens were not cut and very slow. Course could use some TLC, but it could be very nice. Disappointing lack of 19th hole. They want you to have a sit down restaurant buffet.

Tee selection

I would guess that 95% of players are playing from the wrong set of tees, which slows down pace of play. More than four hours should be the exception, and not the rule.

Course is in terrific condition. Greens are rolling true and are not hard as cement. The bunkers could use a little more sand or a good churn of the rake as the rain has made them very very firm. The pace of play was perfect, we never caught the group in front and we’re never pressed by the group behind. The cart girl came by often and the restaurant serves a great burger.

Need to spend more money on course

Our group has been to Mission Inn many times. We played Los Colinas the first day and it was so bad we rescheduled the second round and moved to El Campeon. Los Colinas fairways were very poor and tee boxes were purely dirt - little to no grass. Very disappointed.

We also played El Campeon. A very nice layout and in better condition than Los Colinas but fairways thin, tee boxes in fair condition, and green were in good shape. I will give them the benefit of doubt but another experience like this may be our last time there.

Overall not bad could use some improvements to some tee boxes and fairways but not a show stopper for playing it again. This golf course is a 45 to 55 dollars. Would like to see greens hold shot better but not bad. I will come back again this fall

As Advertised!

The course was in great shape even with all the rain the night before. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were good. The course layout was typical of what you normally see on the courses on the west side of Orlando with plenty of elevation changes with some significant elevation changes from the tee box to the fairways as you would see in North Carolina. And this course sits right in the middle of a hidden gem resort so the amenities and clubhouse were incredible. I played solo so I can’t wait to come back and play with friends. Would definitely recommend to anyone. It is a bit pricey though, but worth it if you feel like splurging.

Great course!

Playing many Orlando area courses! This place was awesome, greens were quick, definitely need to be able to control your tee shots. Tough placement golf shots. Cart girl was around often and very friendly. Will play again Forsure!

Good course but waited on every shot.

Great layout, excellent condition, friendly staff but all of that is wasted if you have to wait on every shot.

Staff was friendly but needed to take action on several groups of novice or just poor golfers playing from the wrong tees and having no idea about the game of golf. They were out for a good time and didn't care about anybody else or the course.

Very nice course but very slow.

I dont know who figures the tee times but they need to have their head examined. I played as a single and there was a single behind me with a couple two somes in front of me and two very slow foursomes in front of them. There was also a very slow foursome behind us. One of the foursomes in front of us got mad because everybody was passing them. One lady could barely hit the ball. The course was beautiful and we had a $50 sandwich lunch but the pace of play was terrible. I drove 60 miles to try a new course that was "better" than I normally play but won't do it again.

Great course, pricey poor pace

I booked this course for my son and grandson while they were here visiting, 360$ for a nice course is the rate most upscale courses charge, The course was in great shape! greens fairways, tees!

However, the pace of play was way too slow 5hours twenty minutes just killed what should have been a great experience, we saw a marshal but he just drove around several times we waited 15 minutes on each shot and three groups on a par 3 hole in the middle of the round was totally unacceptable!

The golf course was excellent, how the pace of play will be enough for me not to return, a real shame.
