About Mission Inn Resort & Club

The family-owned Mission Inn is one of Florida's friendliest and most value-forward resorts. With two golf courses, including the century-old El Campeon layout, it is an ideal setting for buddies trips and, at about 45 minutes from Orlando International Airport (MCO), remains convenient to reach from afar while removed from O-town's occasionally chaotic energy.

Very Challenging!

This course is probably one of the more challenging courses in all of Central Florida. BUT, I always enjoy playing here with all the steep elevation changes. Reminds me of playing back home in NC. The only criticism I have is they’ve recently rearranged the tee boxes and now the black tees (tips) are gone and now the blue tees are the tips…problem is the scoreboard doesn’t reflect the change. My group played from the white tees which is supposed to be 6200 based on the scoreboard but all of our second shots on Par 4s were 200+ yards out which leads me to believe ALL the tee boxes have been moved back and not reflected on the scorecard. Other than that the round was fun. Fairways and greens in great shape!

El Campeon is Muy Muy Bueno

Challenging and beautiful course that was a pleasant surprise in the middle of the countryside in Central Florida and built in 1917. Challenging layout, tight greens and a very accommodating staff with the latest golf cart technology. Will definitely play again.

Poor pace of play

Once again no golf etiquette from other players. Had a foursome in front of me and they were terrible but would not let me play through. A marshal to keep pace would be nice.

Other than that the course itself is great. Nice layout and challenging and very picturesque.

Staff is great and friendly. They just need to remind players of proper etiquette and let faster players play through.

Great course,,with the rain they are working hard to repair wash out areas and remove water (bunkers). Keep it in the fairway.

Always a treat

Such a great, challenging layout. Greens were in summer shape and a little bumpy but imagine they’ll be tightened up as we eventually ease into fall

Pretty aged

Nice layout. Difficult to play. The course exists for more than hundred years. A lot of maintenance work was under way, but still not sufficient. There is a lot to be worked on.

Cart did not a a have cooler on board.

Beautiful course, unpleasant sprinklers

The course is top notch, few areas of repairs but not enough to grip about. We had an amazing value due to a last minute GolfNow booking. I did find it very unpleasant and borderline rude that we were on pace of the course and the last 5 holes we had to play through their sprinklers on and being drenched. Knowing we were out there, the right thing would be to time them after your last round of golfers. Great course besides that.

Cart locks itself in wrong place

They have these green signs to tell you when to turn off to the cart path. BUT before that or beyond that on the rough the cart locks and you have to backup - you get no warning because it does that nowhere near the signs. WORSE yet you back up then head to the cart path and it keeps locking up and will NOT let you go to the cart path. I will NOT play here again

Mission inn El campeon

Very fun course with excellent conditions. They are renovating hole 6 at the moment so you have to skip it. Besides that, the course is great. High end course.

Great Place To Play

Should be on your list of places to play. Recovery from a recent green punch. The only fireside is that the ruff has grown so much that it makes this play multiple strokes higher. Step off the fairway - good luck finding. Evening falls to the bottom. Biting the fairways is a must to enjoy.
