Mission Inn Resort & Club

Even though the course was getting some

major hole upgrades and had recently been

dressed it’s still the scenic challenge we look

forward to playing.

The rate for 18 was more than fair considering

the few diversions we had to take for the repairs.

Upon checking in I was informed the 7th hole was closed for a construction project…no problem. What wasn’t mentioned was that the greens had been recently punched and sanded. Range balls, not included, pay. Water on the carts…nope, pay. A 17 hole golf course with bumpy sandy greens and they can’t throw in a small bucket of range balls or put a couple of bottles of water in the cart. It’s July in Florida!! I’d heard good things about the course but I guess management isn’t paying attention. Lastly, they could have made #7 a par 3, the construction was all in the first half of the hole. Cart staff was terrific

We paid 9$ for 40 range balls. A little steep in my opinion. There were no greens to practice on. There were only the chipping greens but they were filled with holes and sand so it was not good to practice on. Fairways and rough were decent . Greens are healing from recent aeration and were rolling decent but inconsistent. Front nine rolled faster than the back nines . The ball rolled fast enough at times but would slow down to a halt 6 inches from the hole. Was Really hard to figure out the speed of the greens . The other complaint were some holes had tree branches hanging partially into the fairways or tee boxes so you have to be accurate with your shots or you would hit the branches. There were lots of bugs as well so bring your bug spray. Course is challenging and we will come back to try again when the greens roll better.

Fairways were perfect. Greens still good despite being punched a week or so ago.

Course was in nice condition, course was playing nice just a couple of green of aeration, but course playing great

Good day of golf, course had construction hole #10 was closed, had to double on a par 5. Other than construction it was a great day, good pace of play not much traffic. A bit sparse for cart and ability to get drinks and snacks.

El Champeon is a beautiful traditional style course with msny elevation changes. In order to score you must keep the ball in the Fairways. The greens were smooth and true, probably the best greens in florida.. I definitely need to play it again.

Perfect conditions. Food was wonderful, too. Staff was very attentive.

The staff was welcoming and helpful at every interaction. The course is GORGEOUS, scenic and well maintained. The course is challenging, but just enough to make you want to come back! We look forward to returning. My only complaint, the Ladies' room near hole 8 doesn't flush properly.
