The Champion

We had a lotta fun. The course is in good shape, with thick rough, and hard to read greens. If you get lucky and make the correct read on a putt, you will sink it. We made more putts on the back nine, due to learning the greens. Even for an average golfer, the drive off the tee can be shaped over the water or around a dogleg on several holes.

Shirts are required to be tucked in. The service is impeccable. The cart personnel are fun.

It is a tough course to get a tee time in the spring, due to all the weekend tournaments

Fun course in good shape

First time playing las colinas and overall enjoyed my round. I do prefer El campeon after playing both courses now.

Course was in good shape, tee to green.

There was some sort of outing going on with the slowest group play I’ve ever seen. The ranger nearly had to babysit them through the course which not fun but I did appreciate their persistent effort. I lost my phone mid round and the staff lent me a cart to search for it for an hour, the staff is great. Found the phone later that night.

Fantastic Day of Golf

Started off the morning with a warm greeting from the staff at 6:00 am. Hit practice balls at the lit driving range. Since we were early and warmed up the starter allow us to start earlier than scheduled. Excellent fairways and superb greens. Rough was difficult I won't lie and I lost some balls, but your not supposed to hit it there! :) Played in under 4 hours. This is a challenging course that is well worth the money. If you haven't played here before, your missing out. I drove 1 1/2 hours to get here, and will not hesitate to do it again. It's that good. Fantastic day all around, thanks Mission Inn!

Poor Customer Service

Could only play 4 holes before we got stuck behind a very large walking group/tournament. Was never told about this tournament and was never given the option to play any of the other courses. Couldn’t get refund because I prepaid on GolfNow.

Great course. Well deserves it rating as the #13 course in FL

This course is a traditional, challenging course atypical for FL. The elevation changes are amazing. To score on this course, you need to bring your A game. Fairways are fair in width, but tree lined and the rough is gnarly. The rough in most places is a 3/4 shot penalty. The greens had been aerated about 2 weeks ago but putted well with the light sand layer that had been applied. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants a fair, hard challenge to their game.

Feels like you are not playing in Florida.

This is a fun course with a lot of elevation and greens that will keep you guessing. Last time out, they had high rough which made for a slower round as the ball tends to disappear. There was a lot of people looking for their ball for quite a while. The prices are a bit high for the summer time, slow play, and location to really grab repeat play. But, it's a fun track that will test your skills while you enjoy the scenery and nature.

Staff is great.

Great track

Very nice golf course, in really good condition for early August. Fairways and tee boxes are in great shape. Greens are still coming back from aeration, but are rolling nicely. Highly recommend this course.

Love it

Look this course is always in great shape . The rough is very challenging but it’s golf . It’s not for the faint at heart or for somebody who doesn’t like to be challenged. The pin placements Were tough and that’s how golf should be fun and challenging. The layout of fabulous

Colinas

Both courses at mission inn are always a treat,with los colinas playing a little more straightforward and not as devilishly tough as el campeon. That said,it still has some teeth,with many long par 4s and a few wicked 200 + 3s.Greens and tees are always some of the best in the area,and they are doing alot of work on the course now.Highly recommend,they have a reasonable senior rate mon-thurs.

Not for the faint of heart

Las Colinas was objectively in excellent condition, except for #7, which had construction that shortened a fun par 4 into a par 3.

BUT!!! The bermuda rough was high and thick. If you missed the fairway by even a foot, you most likely would not find your ball unless you stepped on it. Moving it forward was almost impossible. The only excuse I can see for this (and not having a shorter first cut) is that there must be a pro tournament coming shortly. For the rest of us, the setup was far too penal to consider returning.
