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.

Great Layout

Pace of play is great if you're the first group off, can't say about the afternoon. Really good looking course with a great mix of hole designs. Fairways were in great shape only gripe was a few of the greens had some kind of mulched up leaves or something on them making it hard to putt

Nice course, amenities need help

Always enjoy Mission Inn, but this time around we experienced a couple of issues, namely that food and drink on the course was sparse (cart person super nice when we saw her though!!), dining room food was average (I had the mahi and it was very dry), and starter was a little aggressive even though we were early. We’ll be back, though.

Las Colinas @ Mission Inn

Terrible course. I've played the other course here at Mission Inn and it was very good, but Las Colinas is awful. Will never play this course again.

Must Play In Central Florida

Great layout. Three island greens and elevation changes not usually found in central Florida. Bring your A game or lots of golf balls.

Las Colinas upgrades

First time this year for us on this course. They have done some major work out here in the last month or so. #1, rough on right side mowed and not so brutal. Same on #2, as rough thinned out a little. #3, long dogleg right, woods cleaned up. #4, they have extended trap on left , and it adds beauty to this hole. Starting at 11, lake filled with water, weeds gone, prisitine and beautiful. #12 and 13, woods thinned out. #14 still a beast but rough mowed a little.

Just a major sprucing up, still a great layout, but not so scary looking. Greens can be had, as they roll smooth as ever. Staff inside and out super friendly.

We will be back asap.

Good to be back

First round after returning from UK.

We were supposed to be in fourball but apparently other pair turned up early and got out. Meant we were behind a few fourballs . This said my wife and I had a lovely round. On a beautiful day. Course I’m nice condition and looked like new tees. Greens in good shape and running true.

One of our favourite courses in area and will continue to be so.

Golf Now Ruined My Experience

The course was good. Great layout. Very playable and quite difficult. The pro shop staff was friendly and very helpful. The starter was.....well he was a tool! Cart girl was nice as was the bar staff and cart wranglers. The starter made it a point, in front of other players waiting to go off, that I knew "he was in charge and that the pro shop staff didn't know what was going on." So my round got off to a contentious start. I liked the course and would love to play it again.. But I probably won't if that same starter is there. Oh, and Golf Now screwed me again....the second straight time. I cancelled my membership immediately after the round. GN can't seem to book a tee time correctly. I was really looking forward to the course since everyone I talked to said it would be amazing. And it probably is. But, as we all know, one person can spoil an experience. And that starter certainly did. Too bad.

El Average

The course had a Jr tournament taking place with zero notification or warning given before I ran into the groups on the course.. The gentleman at the Pro Shop could have at least said it was taking place and to pay at my own discretion--I would have respected that and played knowing so. Wish I would not have found out not the course.

With that out of the way, I did not factor that into my review. The track has a nice layout and the "Island green" is neat, but the conditions are fair. Greens were fast but needed major TLC along with the fairways. Lots of dead grass about the course. I am sure the course was a gem around ~2012 when it was rated a top track by golf digest, however those days are gone.

It is money worth from downtown Orland.

We share the ride by Uber, it is $50 one way.

We have been playing on Flyday at 8:50.

It was a little chilly in the morning at the time of the day.

You must prepare a more warmer clothes done you think until after 10 AM.

Green is a little small than other courses.

Nice course

This was our second time playing this course , and it did not disappoint. This is a scenic course that must be played in the fairways , if you want to score a decent round . The fairways are often tight and the greens are difficult at best . This is a must play and we will be back .
