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.

Mission Inn - El Campeon

Great track and nice way to spend Father's Day morning. Difficult layout that makes you think off the tee and challenging second shots to elevated greens. Conditions of the tee boxes, fairways, and greens were pristine. Disappointed with the condition of the bunkers. No bunkers had been raked in days. They were rock hard and left no footprints they were so hard. Staff was very courteous and very welcoming. Superior amenities. I'll go back to play the other course.

The King of Courses

Got a great deal on Tee Off. This is a “top of the line” course. Great design, great shape, great pro shop and restaurant. I try to play here a few times a year. Go, if at all possible.

Las Colinas

Love the layout. Challenging course. Unfortunately, it had been aerated and top dressed which we were not informed about when booking the round.

A Little Disappointed

Really like this course and when playing with others that are out of town MI is one of the 3 or 4 places I recommend.

Green very recently punched (which happens this time of year) when booking no mention or alert of this course condition. Greens just starting to recover - had more sand on the greens than the bunkers. Not very happy I would have passed on playing this weekend.

Tee boxes on 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 18, 17, 16 just trash. For this place you just got to say - you got one job grow grass - what’s the problem. Just looks neglected.

My other 3 players really gave me a lot of crap. Not happy camper.

Absolutely Beautiful Course

The El Campion was one of the most beautiful courses I've ever played. I found all the water holes to be very challenging for someone at my skill level with only one year of experience. I look forward to playing again in the future. The personnel were so friendly and helpful!

Excellent conditions

Course is one of the most unique layouts you’ll find in central Florida. Greens/Fairways were in perfect condition. A few tee boxes were a little beat up but not a major issue. They are starting to punch greens 6/8

Worth playing

I usually play El Campeon there but chose this one and wasn’t disappointed with it. It’s mostly lined with trees for the whole course. It doesn’t have the views of El Campeon though. Greens were slow but in perfect shape.

An Old Florida Classic

I grew up playing this course in junior tournaments back in the 1980s. It has remained a classic Florida course, very challenging with demanding T-shots and strategy for each hole. Of course, it has been redone and changed around since they added the other course in the mid 90s. The pace of play was excellent, it was in the afternoon and not many people on the course. Overall, the condition was great, the greens were slow for my preference, but the fairways were good and the elevation changes make it unique for Florida. biggest critique was the bunkers, they were very hard seemed like there was only a half inch of sand covering a very hard surface. Will definitely return and would recommend to anyone looking for something different and challenging.

Welcome change.of pace

Drove from Lakeland Florida where everything is flat and at this time of year either dead or hard pan. Course was in incredible shape not even considering the drought that we are currently in. There were only maybe two greens that had any type of dead area. All the water hazards were extremely low I can only imagine how difficult this course would be if and when we get rain. Thank you very much for an incredible visit.
