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.

Great day at Mission inn

Played Los Colinas first tee time. Staff is super friendly. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in great shape considering the drought conditions in central Florida. The greens were quick and as the morning sun dried off the due they turned fast. Great facility that is properly cared for.will return soon.

Very good course and personable, helpful staff, mostly.

I love the course in the practice facilities, and the starter was very helpful. Unfortunately, the members with whom I was to play, did not want to play with me and the pro shop discouraged me from teeing off with them. Fortunately, I switched to a different group who were welcoming and fun to play with. The pro shop person neglected to tell me where to get range balls. Despite the cost of the round, for three dollars, I was given an ketogenic to make my own coffee!

Will NEVER play here again.

Was on vacation in Florida and was super excited to play this course, from the other reviews and photos it seemed to be a great experience. But, it was anything but that, I was paired up with two other players and I had my girlfriend with me (who was not playing) and when I got to the starter he told me to just go pay $30 and she could ride along with me.

I was totally fine with that and I went inside and I was told that the starter is not the “boss” that she is and I would need to pay $130 for the round extra to have her in the cart with me.

A EMPTY SEAT IN MY CART FOR $130 ?!

They were extremely rude and said there was nothing they could do that she would not be allowed in the cart and she would have to take my truck and “go find something else to do”. This type of behavior at any course is unacceptable.. and completely disrespectful.

The starter was extremely nice and apologetic and didn’t understand the reasoning for the front office being as unreasonable as they were.

Is what it is.. but I will not be going back.

Go to crooked cat instead.

Great design, solid conditions

Played Las Colinas in the past, El Campeón is the better of the two. Interesting layout, in good shape, greens are rolling true. We’ve had a dry winter so some areas where the should be water look rough but that will improve soon. Compared to the prices some courses are charging this time of year, this is a great value! Will play again.

Course is great, the staff are even better

From the start I’ve never felt more welcomed to a golf course. I really wish I had gotten the guys name delivering the carts because he was awesome. Course played pretty tough with 45mph winds so I gotta go back and try again. This place is spectacular. The layout, the amenities, the greens, just a great golf facility.

Will return to play other course

First group out on a Friday morning. Played with another single. Each had our own carts and we flew thru in 3 hrs. A little fog to start but cleared nicely for the back 9.

When I return next year, I’ll be back to play the older course at the same facility. See you then!!!!!

Slow

Great course fun layout only downside is it’s a elderly retirement sanctuary with people who won’t let a single pass even if you gave them 100$ not a care in the world upset that the greens are as slow as the are for being such a nice course on the very slow side but in good condition just need to cut and roll them better but will be back if the price is right

Great layout!

The course is always challenging with great layout and in good condition. However when it comes to the back nine which has couple difficult holes, the pace of play become very slow!

Always a great outing !

2 great courses at Mission Inn Resort ! El Campeon is the more scenic with its elevation changes that let you see so much of the course when up high. The routing is interesting and the holes and greens always challenging. I never get tired of either course, and fortunate they are only a 25min drive from the very south part of The Villages, where we reside. Great deals on GolfNow and be sure to check out their discounted senior rate ( 55+ ) on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Staff was extremely helpful. Driving range was tore up and had limited grass. Had to hit most shots from sand filled divot.

Most Tee boxes were in terrible shape.no grass again and teeing off on sand.

Bunkers were inconsistent. Some were re-done and others were without sand
