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.

Challenging layout that was unique which makes this a special place. Prepping for college tournament so greens were not cut and very slow. Course could use some TLC, but it could be very nice. Disappointing lack of 19th hole. They want you to have a sit down restaurant buffet.

Tee selection

I would guess that 95% of players are playing from the wrong set of tees, which slows down pace of play. More than four hours should be the exception, and not the rule.

Trees

Trees are strangling the golf course. Mission Inn should take out hundreds of trees as many clubs have done around the country.

Course is in terrific condition. Greens are rolling true and are not hard as cement. The bunkers could use a little more sand or a good churn of the rake as the rain has made them very very firm. The pace of play was perfect, we never caught the group in front and we’re never pressed by the group behind. The cart girl came by often and the restaurant serves a great burger.

Pace of Play (2)

Slow play will kill golf and kill this resort. Today was a five hour round on a course in a distressed condition. I won’t be coming back. Why have rangers if they are not willing or able to do anything?

Need to spend more money on course

Our group has been to Mission Inn many times. We played Los Colinas the first day and it was so bad we rescheduled the second round and moved to El Campeon. Los Colinas fairways were very poor and tee boxes were purely dirt - little to no grass. Very disappointed.

We also played El Campeon. A very nice layout and in better condition than Los Colinas but fairways thin, tee boxes in fair condition, and green were in good shape. I will give them the benefit of doubt but another experience like this may be our last time there.
