Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course

The course was in excellent condition, they had a snack cart, facilities were nice , fairways where well kept, the greens rolled well and the golf carts were electric , quiet and extremely fast with extra power to get up the steep elevations... All in all a very enjoyable experience!...

My wife and I stayed at Mission Inn Resort so we could play both Las Colinas and El Campeon courses. It was a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back. The courses were in great shape and the resort was great as well. I highly recommend it as a nice getaway.

I had heard various things about the old course at Mission Inn but wanted to see for myself.

First, the driving range. The balls and teeing area were very acceptable. But the range itself? The term "goat ranch" may have been too kind. Somebody got a mower?

The layout was quite interesting and the course played longer than its listed yardage. After a few holes I got it...no roll..and on many holes you drove into or up a steep hill.

Ok..no problem.

But my main complaint was the greens, which appeared to be in fine shape, had been top dressed to the max. The putting green was not so marred. Putting was a joke at best. I understand that these maintenance issues must be done. But how about a little warning or suggesting that we play the new 18?

This course is a classic gem that cannot be overlooked by any serious golfer. El Campeon is a 103-year-old course located in the middle-of-nowhere, Florida. This is the second time I've played it and there is no other course in the state like this one. Bold hills, challenging bunkers & greens, extraordinary surroundings. The conditions, amenities, and playability are a bit on the rough side, but the overall experience is unmatched. I can't wait to play here again!

Course was in good shape but the pace of play was slow and no rangers out there to speed it up. Other than that great place & value.

fun, challenging, good layout, tee boxes beat up, some greens were beat up, pace of play was terrible. All things considered, id play it again. Also, would recommend to friends. If they fixed the pace of play issues, it would be a great course. 5.5 hours as a single was rough.

We did not know what to expect. It is like a diamond in the rough!! There are few elevations on some holes. We loved the 17 holes! The fairways were wet in few spots. The green are some what slowed. All overall is the best course for the price.

Always run and challenging. The course was in great shape. The greens have recovered from a recent punching and sanding so they were true.

I just brought our Tee to Green Players Club to play at Mission Inn and the day was wonderful. The course was in great shape as it always is. The staff is outstanding and very accommodating. The lunch after golf was delicious and served quickly. We love playing there and will return as much as possible.

There us nothing not to like about the Mission Inn Golf experience.

Very nice course my friends and I enjoyed it every time we play here.

always a pleasure playing El Campeon. In very good shape...did have standing water in a couple bunkers. Overall a great experience.

Took 16 golfers. When we arrived all carts were set up and bag drip personal were great. Once we got to pro shop to check in it went down hill. Only one person working. Pro sat in his office watching the huge back up ( line out the door) and never offered to help even though there were 3 computers to check golfers in. We got rained out after 10 holes. Pro shop again packed with requests for rain checks. Same result. One overwhelmed employee as Pro sat in office never offering help. Pro never even asked us if we needed anything. Restaurant was closed. Greens were not cut and played slow.

Played here about a month ago and the greens were fine. They are now a mess, mostly dirt and bumpy grass, an embarrassment to this grand old course. I think the resort should either close the course until the greens recover or at least advise prospective golfers of the condition accompanied by a steep discount. I also had problem with the online booking and billing and the pro shop staff was indifferent and unwilling to help. I have been used to a higher level of customer service in the past.

Greens slow, but very true . Too much rain the last few weeks. Hit it firm, and it’ll go in.

Rough mostly challenging Bermuda, tall and thick.

It was drizzling in the beginning of the round but it did not stop us. Once it dried out a bit greens were fast. Nice views except the slow folks that played in front of us. Elevation changes were awesome for a Florida course. Definitely worth the drive.

Not sure what El Campeon course the recent reviewers were playing. Greens in poor condition, don’t believe the canned propaganda emails from Mission Inn. Half the greens were dirt, not talking about aeration etc. Won’t be going back until somebody I know plays it and says greens are normal. Fees should be adjusted for conditions, $55 in August for dirt greens is not the way to keep a loyal clientele.
