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.

Make sure you're not playing the same day as an outing

I played Las Colinas, one of my favorite courses yesterday and it was a total disaster. Despite plenty of staff available there was no starter on number one and we started approximately 15 minutes late. There was also no ranger on the course. Two foursomes in front of us let us through but we still waited on EVERY shot. After 4 hours and 50 minutes we reached number 17 tee to find there was a foursome on the tee, one in the fairway and one on the green. We had had enough and didn't bother to play the last two holes. I was scheduled to play El Campion the next day but decided against it after such an unpleasant experience at Los Colinas. I'm not sure we will be back at Mission Inn in the future. My wife loves the spa but it's not worth it if I have to go through such an unpleasant time on the golf course.

Great day

The course was in great condition today, some of the tee boxes need a little help, but the grounds crew is working on that. Greens were in great condition. I would say if you get a chance to play this course, go ahead and book it especially a hot deal.

A very nice course

We had the course to ourselves on a Thursday afternoon in October. Las Colinas first winds through a neighborhood of beautiful resort homes done in a Spanish style. Then the course goes off into the wilderness where away from the houses, with only the birds. Some fairways are undulating. Greens both above and below the fairway make for and interesting round. The staff is friendly and we always stay at the Mission Inn for dinner and drinks.

Las Colinas Course at Mission Inn

I celebrated my birthday golfing at Mission Inn with my son. It was a blast. The staff members were all very nice to us. The greens and the fairways are in excellent condition. We will be back. Highly recommended.

Good course, slow play

Course and staff were good, but pace of play was slow. Groups including poor golfers allowed to play Championship Course. Ended up waiting ten minutes to play every shot. Eventually came off after thirteen

Felt sorry for ambassador who was waiting at eighteenth

always nice

Always in fine shape, no CPO on 1 or 18. Cart service/starter was kinda loose that morning, not the usual. Usually they bring a cart down to the bag drop, not Wednesday. Guy that functioned as starter was not sure what was going on, much looser than usual as I said.

Course is run down

I've played this course several times before, and I don't know if they have new ownership, but the condition of the El Campeon course is below average. A lot of dry spots and fairways that have not been receiving regular watering

Stagnant pace of play

The course is in good condition and challenging. That said, when we got with the starter he said that we may have a problem. They had a group of 52 that had started in the morning with the last foursome teeing off at 9:30. Normally it wouldn’t be an issue since we were teeing off at 11:08. The starter had heard that the group had played another course the day before and played a 6 hour round. We were playing at a 4 hour pace and caught up with the last group at hole 10. The ranger came out several times to get them to pick up the pace and finally came to us and said that he was giving up. We were waiting 10-15 minutes between shots. I quit at hole 14. It was just unbearable and quite frankly inexcusable to let them play at that pace.

Outstanding service

This is an upscale course that is in excellent condition. That being said, at some up scale courses the service is given with an expectation or a hand out for a tip. Not here! My experience was refreshing as the starter saw me getting out of my truck, brought me a cart. Then when I went inside the pro shop and the gentleman there had my starting ticket already printed with my name written on the top of it. I had pre paid online. These gentlemen deserve recognition! That is what will keep customers coming back. Not to mention the course is beautiful. Great experience!

Over-played

We’ve loved El Campeon in previous years, and it is highly recommended always by many, me included. However, because of this, it is now overused, and sadly, by many standards of golfers. The pace of play is now appalling, and unfortunately no sign of course marshalling. We packed up after 14 holes @ 3h 45m.

Fortunately the starter team were great and suggested we could play 9 on Las Colinas, which we’d never played before. The difference was amazing. Great layout, great condition (not overplayed) and a joy to play. Will definitely return and play Las Colinas for 18 holes.
