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.

Nice condition

Course is in good shape. Greens area a bit grainy and many cart paths are under repair but his is a really fun track.

The club shop guy was a complete tool...about as bad customer service as I've ever seen at a golf course.

A must play

Enjoy playing here. Always in very good condition. Every hole is unique. All holes ha e greenside bunkers. Very good greens for putting. Two par 3's over water. This is not an easy course fir double digit handicapper but still worth playing. Many local tournaments played there. Including the Epson & MacKenzie tours.

Worth a try

I expected more because of it’s design and history but all & all I enjoyed myself. Played along with a father/son duo and had a great time. The elevation changes throughout are spectacular. Most holes offered great views. Wish the clubhouse had a better selection of items to buy.

Fun but Challenging Course

Word to the wise...stay out of the rough...Bermuda is a club killer if you can find your ball. The greens were fair but challenging and fairly fast. This course is not tricked up...fair, beautiful and in great shape.

The rough was rough

Driving range was closed yet it wasn’t specified on Golfnow. I even called the pro shop to see if there were any course concerns brought on by the recent hurricane- nothing was said about the range. The rough was very long and we spent half our day looking for golf balls that didn’t find the fairway, but should’ve been easy to locate. Las Colinas is a tight course and keeping the rough shorter would make play more enjoyable. I’ve played this course before and it’s always impeccable, so I assume it hadn’t been mowed due to the hurricane and sogginess. The greens were impeccable. All in all, not a bad day. But just a little frustrating.

Dissatisfied

I was scheduled for a 7am tee time. I woke up with flu like symptoms and was concerned I had Covid. I wasn’t able to cancel in time and I was charged for the round. I tried to call Golfnow to explain the situation, good luck, they don’t have a customer service number. I was charged 140 bucks and didn’t get to play. Also to be noted, I’ve used Golf now well over 12 years.

Awesome Day Of Golf! 💪🏾🕳🍷

Listen the outing was phenomenal. Riding into the first tee I saw Tiger and his son on the 18th green. Tiger was his caddie. Charlie shot a -4 in this Jr. event presented by Notah. I heard he was there also. I played the big course El Camperon. I birdied Hole #1. 30 ft drain dead center. On the green in 3. Knew it was gonna be a great day. Greens where magnificent, the right speed. Barely drew the putter back and thru. Tee box, fairways; love this course. Staff over friendly, so are the cart staff. Shot +9 81 from the whites. Listen you must play this course. It’s worth every penny believe me. Back in the day I heard it was one of Michael Jordan’s favorite courses. Way to go Mission Inn and Staff.

Rainy day

T-off on time. Joined a couple of great guys. 2 stops for some hard rain. Course held up pretty well through the 1st one. Sloppy after the 2nd. Just wanted to get done @ that point (16th 🕳). Course was in pretty good shape. Recently had green's maintenance. A lot of sand. 1st 🌧 actually helped. Must have pushed the sand down to grass level. Soggy green's after 2nd rain. All 👍. Paid decent price to play $55. I was happy 😊

Beautiful experience

A friend of my daughter told me about this course and I loved it. I even had a close encounter with some baby gators while looking for my ball on one of the many island greens

Nice course, unfortunate miscommunication

We asked at the pro shop while paying if the course had been punched or sanded recently and were told no that the greens were excellent. As we are playing there was a maintenance member spreading lumpy sand on all the greens in front of us. So each put was like hitting through bunker sand that was hit out on shots around the green. Unfortunate and the miscommunication from the staff was not appreciated. The course itself was unbelievably nice and we will return.

Great Day of Golf

Was a perfect day on the course, pace of play was superb, everything was great, love this course. Our only complaint is it was hot, you are not permitted to bring coolers to the course and no cart person on the course. We were down to sharing our last half bottle of water for the last five holes, was a lesson in survival. Looking forward to our next round.
