About Mission Inn Resort & Club

The family-owned Mission Inn is one of Florida's friendliest and most value-forward resorts.

Rough roughes

Rough was cut very thick, if you miss the fairway, good luck finding your ball, otherwise is a beautiful course

Steep hills and lots of water.

El Campion is a difficult track with extreme elevation changes on several holes. Many tight driving holes as well with narrow fairways. The greens are flawless. The fairways were beautiful. The tee boxes were OK and the bunkers were well maintained. The rough is brutally long. Allowing Bermuda grass to grow 6 to 8 inches is just stupid. They really ought to do something about this. All it does is slow down play. Lots of water, too with some forced carry shots. Bring plenty of balls.

Bad

I never saw a ranger and the group’s in front of me where rude ( they spent 10 minutes on every green and they didn’t care that I was in the fairways waiting for them to get off the greens ) they all need to play one ball and play golf not sure what they thought they were playing.

Great Experience

This was the first time I’ve played the Las Colinas course and it was great time for sure. The Staff were very efficient and professional. They made sure I had everything I needed and that I knew where to go. I was paired with a member and they were very friendly and helpful with the layout. It did seem as if every hole was a dogleg right and the course is a little lengthy playing about 6400 from the white tees. But the course was in great shape I could tell the staff knew what they were doing as they have had a ton of rain lately. The rough is tall in places due to the weather but the fairways were nice. The greens were a little slow, they had been aerated probably a week or two ago, but they rolled good and true.

I will definitely be back here soon again.

A Must Play

This course did not disappoint. The course itself was immaculate. We played on the same day as an amateur tournament and man was it tough. I lost at least 6 balls, and only 1 went into the water. The other 5 vanished in the rough. The rough had to have been at least a foot deep. We watched every shot down, would drive immediately to it, and the ball would be nowhere to be found, just feet off of the fairway. I’ve heard this called “The Augusta National of Howey-In-The-Hills,” and I see why. The hills, thick rough, and tight pine-tree-lined fairways were unlike anything else in the Central Florida area. Fairways were in great condition. Greens rolled pure. It was something special.

Pace of play was a little slow. It was a Saturday which is to be expected, but there was really only one foursome causing the traffic jam. Don’t remember seeing a marshal out, but it wasn’t too bad. The only other gripe was that the pro shop wasn’t aware of any GolfPass Perks. It’s shown on the course page, but three different pro shop employees had no clue what it was referring too. Overall, it was a challenging course that exceeded my expectations. Can’t wait to play again.

6 - some oh my!!?? Terrible outing.

It would have been a good golf outing but the pro shop or someone decided to allow a 6-some on the course which slowed the entire course play down tremendously. After phoning the pro shop after a few holes of this nonsense they really did very little to stop the nonsense. A 6-some is generally unheard of, even on lesser known and obscure courses, so to have to put up with this at Mission Inn was a total shock and surprise. We were playing as a 3-some so the pace was ridiculous and took hours more to finish. Not to mention the 6-some wasn’t even courteous enough to offer us to play through. All in all a terrible golf outing at Mission Inn.

Fantastic Course

Second time playing El Campeon and it was just as amazing as the first. Plenty of elevation changes, some being pretty extreme. Some blind fairway shots. Greens were spectacular. Smooth and fairly fast. Not lightning quick. Ideal I'd say. Staff was friendly. Only issue was some inexperience with the food service. Time will fix that. Not a typical Fla course by an means. Worth the trip. Did not stay at resort so cannot attest to anything there.

Great Condition

Course is well maintained, ponds and lakes are not. It is a challenging course, wide variety of hole layouts. They let the members play in groups of 5 and they will not let you as a single play with any two or three-somes, so if you can't get out before 11 in the summer, you will get hit by the afternoon rains.

Great golf!

The course is in beautiful shape and the greens are fantastic with very consistent roll and pace. The scenery is gorgeous and the staff is polite and friendly. We stayed 2 nights and played El Campeon twice. Great time and a true but fair test of golf. 100% recommend Mission Inn and El Campeon golf course
