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.

Over priced for the condition of the course

The condition of the course is very adverage so to me it's a bit over priced. Also, the pace of play was horrible, I sat a tee at every tee box.

It’s like playing a PGA course

Amazing. The greens roll so well. The fairways are like carpet and it looks fantastic to stand on a tee box and look at the other holes. The course is beautiful.

A TRUE GEM

This is a must see on your stop of golf courses in Florida. The facility is geared for you to stay and play with your friends or loved ones. You'll find tennis and golf everywhere. They have two amazing top notch courses in tip top shape. I have been playing these courses for 40 years and always consider them one of the best.

Easier

Played last Sat , weather perfect. Both courses are tough, however…

The new owners have removed a buncha low hanging, golf ball catching limbs. It has made it 2-3 strokes easier, yippee. The greens are perfect, fairways close to perfect, and rough brutal on some holes. We are making a few putts now, and my son made a 40 footer for eagle on #14 El Campeon. He beat me again, whoops. We had a great time.

Great Day of Golf

Course was good, greens were aerated and a bit rough as was parts of the fairway. Pace of play was good, we kept moving well. All in all look forward to playing again. The Downside, they are strict on NO COOLERS, however, they have zero cart service, and we were all dying of thrust and in need of a snack by the time we were at #14. Don't know why there isn't any cart service, if you play take lots of water with you because it isn't available on the course.

Not worth the money

This course had very poor conditions on the fairways as there was patches of sand, lots of area under repair, very swampy,. The only good condition was the greens. We had an afternoon tee time in a slow day so we had nobody around us but at about 4:45 the sprinklers started running so we played through the sprinklers on the last 6 holes. Overall was expecting better for a course that books online for around $75.

Could be better ..

Some sections of the fairways, you'll have to go 5 yards in other directions just to find a spot of grass to hit from. Lots of hard dirt areas all over. Greens were pretty good. At least what they charge was near the cost of value.

They had a cat girl, but really needed a Marshall .. guys playing slow held up about 4 groups behind them. We really noticed because when they were finished, the last holes went right up to speed, because no one had to wait on every shot anymore.
