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.

Overrated

Very slow five hour round, four dollars for bottled water, six dollars for 12 ounce can domestic beer, fairways and tea boxes average. For the price way subpar and overrated. Better courses for better prices are out there.

Top Tier Course

An elite course but worth it only when a great Tee Off deal is available

Meh.

Course was in rougher shape than I’d expect. Lots of bare spots in the rough, lots of divots on tee boxes and in fairways. Greens were fast and true.

Challenging layout with small fast dramatically contoured greens. Narrow fairways with lots of overhanging trees. Shotmakers course.

Pace of play was horrible due to 8 minute tee times, no starter, or ranger for el campion course. Lots of foursomes and not getting paired with anyone as a single.

Restaurant was expensive and messed up order. Ordered a club wrap and got a Caesar wrap instead. Also $18 for a Cuban sandwich and fries.

Course allows ride-alongs but charges a cart fee.

Conditions Could Be Better

Overall the facility is very nice and the staff were extremely courteous. The layout was good, but we found the conditions to be sub par. The fairways lacked grass in many places throughout the course. The bare lies in the middle of the fairways detracted from the experience.

Very Challenging!

This course is probably one of the more challenging courses in all of Central Florida. BUT, I always enjoy playing here with all the steep elevation changes. Reminds me of playing back home in NC. The only criticism I have is they’ve recently rearranged the tee boxes and now the black tees (tips) are gone and now the blue tees are the tips…problem is the scoreboard doesn’t reflect the change. My group played from the white tees which is supposed to be 6200 based on the scoreboard but all of our second shots on Par 4s were 200+ yards out which leads me to believe ALL the tee boxes have been moved back and not reflected on the scorecard. Other than that the round was fun. Fairways and greens in great shape!

El Campeon is Muy Muy Bueno

Challenging and beautiful course that was a pleasant surprise in the middle of the countryside in Central Florida and built in 1917. Challenging layout, tight greens and a very accommodating staff with the latest golf cart technology. Will definitely play again.

Poor pace of play

Once again no golf etiquette from other players. Had a foursome in front of me and they were terrible but would not let me play through. A marshal to keep pace would be nice.

Other than that the course itself is great. Nice layout and challenging and very picturesque.

Staff is great and friendly. They just need to remind players of proper etiquette and let faster players play through.

Great course,,with the rain they are working hard to repair wash out areas and remove water (bunkers). Keep it in the fairway.
