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.

Great Day of Golf
Really enjoyed the round of golf, course was in great condition except for work on a couple holes we had to play through. Look forward to playing again soon.
An oldie but goodir
Although I haven't played this course for a long time, the memories quickly returned and my anticipation of the challenge of 16 was rewarded with another well tended hole! The overall condition of the course was good and the greens putted very well. Thjs course will provide any skill level a memorable experience.
Always Wanted to Play Here
El Campeon Course was in great shape, with an interesting variety of hole layouts and elevation changes. They are doing sprinkler maintenance, one hole at a time, so because the 16th hole was closed I gave myself a birdie.
All in all, a great round, we’ll worth a visit
Classic course- great shape
Have not played in a while. Great oldie but goodie. Wonderful layout and very challenging. Will require A game. In terrific shape. Take one more club on par 3 over the water (back 9 can't remember hole #) especially if there is any kind of wind! Swore I had the right club and dunked 3 in the water :-) Finally broke my own stubbornness and changed clubs an wala....
An oldie but goodie
Been wanting to play El Camion at Mission and resort. Booked and early afternoon tee time.
I knew before I booked this course possibly one of the holes might be shut down when we got there. They told us 17 and 18 worked on the irrigation system. We chose to play the course anyhow and just repeat a couple of holes to make up 17 and 18 you know what it feels like to play a course the challenges, the professionals this is the place, and will not break the bank. After playing this course, you really have an appreciation for professional golfers very very challenging or just an average duffer but glad I got to do it. We’ll go back and play again when the weather cools off.. Green, somewhat long, rough and nice manicured fairways, bunkers plenty of sand. Some of it was a little crusty couldn’t ask for a better conditions my advice to folks get out and play this course.
Mission Inn Resort
Most enjoyable play. Course was in very good condition.
However, they were updating their sprinkler system on 17th & 18th and could not play a full round, but still worth the fee.
I would play again as it is a challenging course.
Fairly Difficult
This course is in fine condition but fairly difficult. There are lots of hills and elevated greens. There is water involved on some fairways and greens. One of the downsides of playing this course that there are many mosquitoes in areas with water. You may want to bring some bug juice.
Bad day at Mission Inn
Disappointed staff had no Marshalls or course enforcement on the course. Played up to a group of six (6) yes single group of six. They were slow, sharing couple club bags all over course drove cart over green. Skipped a hole to get around them to be behind a group of five (5). Yep a group of five to deal with skipped another hole to get around this group. For an upscale course and price this was dreadful. If not better controlled recommend avoiding this course
Nice course
The course was fairly challenging, with a few tight landing areas, and very fast, sloping greens. Overall, it was in pretty good shape. Greens and tees were good, fairways were generally good, although they were renovating the irrigation system, so there were some trenchlines being repaired. Roughs had some bare spots and bumpy areas. We basically had the course to ourselves, so pace of play was as quick as we wanted to make it, other than searching for our stray shots.
A Hidden? Gem
We learned of this resort through a tennis connection. We found a Deal at 3:00 pm on Sunday, so we decided to give it a try. The resort is beautiful, and well-maintained. We arrived around 1:30, and the cart staff / starters let us know that the course wasn’t busy and we could probably get out early. Turns out we had the whole Championship Course almost to ourselves. I’m sure it’s much busier in the cooler morning hours. The course, created over a hundred years ago, was in great shape, with minor areas where plumbing was being replaced. We had so much fun at Mission Inn, we are considering coming back for a holiday.
Stunning views
Overall an excellent course to play, very testing holes with great greens, we played 17 holes due to upgrades being carried out on 2nd. Staff were very welcoming, only suggestion is the coffee could be better.
Great Course
Great course. Greens were challenging and tour like.
Definitely will be playing here again.
Not currently worth it
The course is undergoing irrigation replacement, so 2 holes are always going to be closed thru out the summer, they tell you that you can play some other 2 holes twice but that's hard to do when you have people all over the course, I think they said that all holes are open on the weekends, also we played on a Monday and there were no cart girls which really sucked.
Mission Inn
A pleasure to play this course. The staff is very welcoming and the food at Knickers is very good.
