Great Day of Golf

Perfect day, awesome course enjoyed the day very much. Course was in great condition greens were fast fairways were trim and neat overall perfect. Pace of play was slow, a foursome in front having difficulties and a marshal was not out to keep the pace moving. First time that has occurred in my playing this course. The folks in front of us were about two tee-boxes further back than their skill level, would tee off to the ladies tee and you can get the rest as they attempted to move down the fairways.

Challenging course

This course needs water and the grass in the fairways is almost non existent.

Not impressed!!

The highlight was the friendly golf attendants and the fabulous drink cart lady. Pro shop workers not friendly. Time keeper- not friendly, rude. I was charged $75!! for club rental. It cost more to rent the clubs than to play. There was no hybrid in the bag. No one offered to carry the clubs to the golf cart area, it was a bit of a hike for me. And I have a bad knee. Geez! Also no rate if you can only play 9 holes.

Outstanding classic golf course

This was the first time we had ever played this course. It was outstanding. The variety from hole to hole was excellent. Water, elevation changes, sand - you get it all. And the course was in very good condition.

Only complaint was the need for a ranger as it took us over 5 hours to complete the round.

Great Time

Course in very good condition. Staff very professional and friendly. Ended up playing their other 18 later that day!! Only downfall was restaurant (Nickers) didn’t open until 11:30 and we had an hour to kill before second tee off at around 11:50. Would have been great to sit and have a quick bite and a Cup of coffee.

Nice course — Hit ‘em straight

Enjoyed the course where ball placement is at a premium and you are penalized for errant shots.

Course was very busy round took 5:18 to play.

All in all I would certainly come back.

Outstanding course

This is perhaps the best course I've played in the Orlando area and definitely the most difficult. The course was in great shape. The layout is much closer to what you'd expect in the Texas hill country that what you'll typically play in Orlando. Tremendous elevation changes add substantially to the playing length. Well conceived design and very pretty all around the track. I'll absolutely play it again and highly recommend it.

Good layout and conditions

Course was nice. Pricey. Cart girl came by once in 5 hr round. Only snacks and drinks no food. Went to restaurant on turn which is about 1/4 mile from 9th green. No turn food available. Only order from restaurant. They did make me a fast sandwhich. But cart service was awful.

Los Colinas

Mission Inn never disappoints, I got a great hot time deal and dodged forecast storms for a nice 18 on Wed afternoon. Los Colinas was in great shape,the greens clean and firm but not super fast so they were very playable. A couple of spots on 1 or 2 fairways looked like they had been recently repaired, but didn't affect play.I have played El campion in my last 3 trips to Mission Inn,but kind of forgot how nice Los Colinas is.This remains my favorite golf destination in Central Florida, they just do golf well here.

Busy day at a beautiful course.

Got waylaid enroute. 15 min late. Pro shop and starter so helpful. Got me on El Campeon posthaste. Paired with 2 fellows. One was a good golfer who couldn’t tolerate the slow pace of play. He left after ten holes. My game was a bit off. Drove well and putting was enjoyable on the great greens. Course challenging but fair. Well laid out. In great condition. Great variety of holes. Excellent sand highlighted that part of my game.

Fun day

Course was in good conditions and staff was very friendly. They got us off right at 1:45 on the dot. The pace of play was excellent 4 hours and ten minutes. There was a slow three sometime in front of us. We didn’t call but someone behind us must have. The pace picked up immediately. Nice to know that the rangers here actually do something. Didn’t play well, but still had a fun time. Excellent price, so all is good.

Both courses have pluses and minuses

Played both courses recently again , Los Colinas is a nice layout in very good condition but the greens remain some of the slowest I have ever played. El Campion is $10 more, in good shape and tests your game. However , it appears that management refuses to spend the money to monitor the on course pace of play. One day it moves along. The next day one or more slow groups make it a 5 1/2 hour round and no Ranger in sight.
