Mission Inn Resort & Club

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.

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.

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.

Rangers just drove by without explanation for slow play ahead of us. Play was over 5 hours! Unacceptable!

First time…. Great golf facility, everything top notch except the course in spots. I’ll give the benefit of a doubt and blame the season/lack of rain for some of the dead areas, especially some tee complexes. Overall a very nice day with my good friend and we’ll be back.

If you want a real challenge, try out el campeon. . Greens were in great shape and fast. Course is in great shape. Look forward to playing again. Only complaint/suggestion is several pin placements were on severe slopes. The greens have plenty of undulating features.

We are from the north and chose this course after recommendations from other golfers and it was just a bit outside Orlando. We had a wonderful day. The layout of the newer course is perfect to enhance pace of play. They were very busy the day we played, but we did not see other groups too often. Course was in good shape given the recent heat and lack of rain. Great character to the course. Pro Shop was well stocked with great selection. Nicole and her staff were on top of their customer service game. They were very welcoming and friendly. Nice bar/restaurant with great views after the round. The bartender was very attentive and 'get it done' oriented with regard to our order. I think his name was Nate. We cannot wait to come back and play the older course and I would highly recommend!

There are many golf courses that will befuddle you or defeat you while you are playing at your best. You know there names in the same way they know your game and unfortunately your weakness..

But can these courses like Augusta and Cypress point also boast impressive views and incredible elevation changes with each hole having its own character and exposure of the shortcomings of your game?

To play well at El Campeon not unlike it’s sister course Las Colinas you must have impeccable control of your draw high and low and your fade high and low.

Every aspect of your game must be humming or it will humiliate you. To add to the woes the greens were fast and the slopes suttle. Getting on the greens was not a sure par or birdie.

It was wonderful !!

If you have never played Mission Inn courses you need to put it in your calendar!!!!

Drove up for Orlando for a round with my brother (both single digit handicaps). The course was nice, conditions were good. Greens rolled well, not overly fast but because of some the contours if they were much faster they would have been unplayable. The single biggest issue (really not many beyond that) was the pace of play. We teed off at 1:24pm and finished at 6:40pm. On the 2nd hole we had a ranger come up to us as we're backed up 2 groups on the tee to play ready golf and we told him, the groups in front of us need the talking to. We thought that might take care of it, but we never saw the guy again. What was an enjoyable round on a nice, difficult course was frankly marred by 10 minute waits on the tee. I would consider going back, but certainly not on a weekend. It's definitely a course to play, for the money you pay and the prestige the course holds in the area, you think they would prioritize this issue a little more.

Always enjoy playing this course. Greens were good and true. It was a little slow starting out but the Marshall moved players along and it worked. Would recommend playing this course. Reseeding a number of tees.

This was a 6 hour round of totally unacceptable torture 4 groups on a tee box

Ranger gave us bs story that first group of the morning was 20 minutes slower than normal

We teed off at 12.04 and it took 6 hours everyone was mad

Course is a good track with some good greens .

Will never be back

We had a terrible experience with conditions about 1 year ago on Los Colinas and were skeptical about coming back. El Campeon was the course we played on Feb23-2022 at 2:30 in the afternoon. I have played El Campeon probably 6 times in the past 9 years and the greens have always been EXCELLENT. From their look and feel, to their speed, you could tell the money was spent and the experience was great. Not quite anymore, the greens are only slightly above average on the "nice public course" scale, and like mentioned, a good 2 steps from where they were a couple of years ago. I know not everyone has an unlimited budget, but the perception is that the greens are just not as nice as they should be for this historic and beautiful property.

Had we payed $90 or $100, we would have been disappointed. We got the twilight rate, and made 17 holes, but the last 6-8 holes were very slow, and could have been sped up by 10 minutes with a ranger out there watching things, which would have allowed us to finish our round. Don't expect excellent, just expect slightly above average and you won't be disappointed.

I would rather pay $120 and have the greens and experience be EXCELLENT than to pay $60 and have it be slightly above average. Of note, w played Disney Palm later in the trip, paid $120 and it was EXCELLENT. We played PGA Village Dye course and paid $125 and it was EXCELLENT. Florida golf is booming, but driving a bit out of the way to go here is a bit of a stretch if you have high standards. The 3 of us that played are all 4-6 handicap snobs if you will, so our standards are on the higher side.

Hope that helps.

I had a very enjoyable day at El campeon although my golf really sucked! The biggest disappointment however was when I arrived at the course I saw that golf now had double booked me for AM tee time was not confirmed the night before! I am in the process of confirming that I am not going to be double charged.
