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.

Always in great condition

Previous day central Florida had torrential rains. Couldn't tell by the conditions on Las Colinas. A perfect day. A little cold, 60's, very good pace of play. Staff is always friendly. Love this golf course.

Unless you are a single digit HDCP, Play the Gold Tees!!

This is a beautiful golf course but it is a very difficult course. I played the Blue Tees with a 2 handicapper. I am a 13. He shot an amazing 77. The course kicked my tail and I was in the upper 90s. Lesson learned, unless you are a single digit handicapper, don't play the Blue or the White tees, play the Golds or you won't have any fun but instead will be frustrated. The winds were fairly calm when I played. Had they picked up, I probably would have hit triple digits.

This is a very scenic course. A lot of water comes into play. The greens were smooth and slick, but held upon approach. Easy to 3 putt if you are unskilled at putting. That was the one thing I did correctly, no 3 putts.

A long drive from Orlando, time wise, but scenic. Eat before you get there. The kitchen doesn't open up until 11 am.

Communications

It would have been nice if be informed of a tournament, ongoing. Was told it was wrapping up and delayed playing time. Pin placements were set for pro, not frequent golfers :(

Needs work

I have played this course many times before but it has been a few years, the course looks like it gets a lot of play, and is in bad shape especially in the rough areas, the greens are very nice along with the tee boxes

A hidden gem in FL

El Campeon is one of the best golf courses in FL with a variety of challenges: fast greens, length & difficulty of the holes! ElmCampeon challenged me to test all my golfing skills!

There are waters, plenty of bunkers & many hilly holes unlike other FL courses. Not all the lies are flat. Rather, every shot was challenging because of the lies.

Nonetheless, I am always excited to challenge El Campeon! Perhaps, next time I may be able to conquer the course, I hope!!!

Top Shelf

A legitimate best in class course. Great layout. Well manicured and maintained. If you are looking for challenging experience on a greta course this is the place. Fair if you hit in the right places, but not overly punitive. Treat yourself to this course.

Room for improvement

We could not finish. Had several groups in front that could barely play golf and didn’t consider letting our group go by. At one point they started to play scramble and it didn’t improve. Ice machine broken, no beverage cart after 3 pm. Ranger nowhere to be seen. Good lay out golf course conditions above average.

Pure Las Colinas

Mission Inn Golf + Resort should be must play for any avid golfer. The “Las Colinas”course is labeled as the “easier” course of the two you can play at Mission Inn but still provides a fun challenge. Las Colinas translates to “The Hills” so be prepared for elevation changes and some blind shots. The Par 3s are long and mostly over water so make sure you use enough club! Course was in great condition with just a few tee boxes/greens that could use some TLC. I paid $90ish after taxes for a 7:53 AM tee time so this course also didn’t break the bank when most of the other premier courses in the area are going for well over $150 this time of year.
