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.

Design is unique

The elevation change is very unique in FL. It keeps me excited playing every hole.

Green and fairway aren’t good in a few holes, but the layout more than offset that.

Harder than I expected....

The course layout and conditions were great. There was more elevation change than I expected, and more break to the greens than I am used to. I'm not really one to complain however, I inquired about pin placement indicators (ie colored flags, secondary flag on the stick, etc.) and the starter tapped the GPS in my cart and said "use this and if you're on the green you'll have a birdie putt". Now, at the directional sign for the course the had a "pin position#2" sign but the scorecard didn't have pin positions on it, and the GPS didn't have pin positions on it. There was a zoom feature on the GPS for the greens which showed the slopes, but the pin was shown in the center of every one of them. Here's my dilemma...If the flag is on the front of the green I don't want to necessarily play a shot at the flag and miss short, so I'd like to know what club I can use to carry past the flag and stay on the green. The opposite is true if the flag is in the back. Also, since the green zoom feature shows the slopes (which are sever in some spots) you might want to adjust your aim or distance to accommodate the slopes. This came into play on quite a few holes and I found myself saying "well I wish I'd known that"...Sorry to fuss, but it was an issue and I didn't really appreciate the starter making me feel like I should be lucky just to hit the green. It was a little pretentious. I played the El Campeon course and I found it challenging but enjoyable.

They sent us to a different course

We were very excited to experience El Campeón for the first time. We booked a 2:12pm tee time. Upon arrival, the starter (who was very kind) approached us and let us know that a group of 20 was teeing off on El Campeón and that we would be better off going to play the other course (Las Colinas) and if we tried to play El Campeón, we would not finish our round. The person in the pro shop said that there was nothing they could do to comp us since it was a TeeOff booked time. It became apparent that they had either overbooked or bumped our tee time entirely. While Las Colinas was a nice course, it was definitely disappointing to not be able to play the course that we booked/paid for.

The pace of play was horrible. The first 5 holes went smoothly, the rest was hit and wait. We teed off at 1:30 and couldn't play #18 because we has a 6:15 dinner reservation on the Mission property. There should have been a ranger pushing the pace of play.

Mission Inn - El Campeon Course

Great course - a hidden gem. Parkland course in hilly terrain - unique for FL. Great layout and lots of unique and challenging holes. Course staff was great. Played as a single but was connected with 2 players from Winnepeg.

Good Value

The greens and fairways were in very good condition. It was well laid out. The only negative and the whole course was that the cart paths need some work. There are several areas that the concrete is breaking up and needs replacement. Other than that, it was a very good value.

slow round

course is in ok condition,but when the people in front take 10-12 minutes to putt makes for long round and the waiting does not let you get in a rhythm,so did not enjoy the round!!

Not worth the money

Weather was great. My group checked in and my cart did not have a cooler nor were the any divit sand in the jugs. As we were putting out on first hole of Las Calinas we were hit into from the group behind us. Somebody drove the green from the tee. Conditions were fair to poor. At one point I was in mud up to my ankles at one point. The ball was in play. Course is tired and needs a lot of work if they want to charge $100 per round. Last we only saw the cart girl once in 18 holes. Very disappointing.

Great Layout - Could use some TLC

Played on a Wed late morning and was a 5 hour round as a 3some behind a 2some and a 4some. The greens were in really good shape, but there were numerous dead spots on the fairways and around the greens. Sand was not good. Layout, however, is really cool. Elevation changes you don't typically see in the Orlando area made for a fun round. Could be a really nice course with some improvement to the conditions.

Golf as is Should Be

The course was in very good condition especially the greens. The pace of play was excellent, It is not a course for walking as the distance from green to tee is typically very long through residential neighborhoods,
