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.

Greens

Greens had been punched but have grown in nicely. They need to cut them or rile them because they’re rolling at about 7. Should be 10-11. Conditions overall in great condition. Cart girl was absent most of round on this course it’s important as no half way house. Overall great track and history

Overpriced

Course layout is good with elevation changes. Some quirky holes with risk/reward. If I had known the greens had been punched recently (they were healing up but extremely slow) I wouldn't have booked this team time. Tee boxes were beat up. Overall, due to the greens and tee boxes, not worth the money I paid.

Slow Greens

Course is challenging but many tee boxes were beat up. Should have had a disclaimer that the greens had been punched recently. They were beyond slow. Not worth the price I paid.

Good round with course in decent shape

There were a few spots under repair but generally the course is in great condition. Cool layout that is not quite as difficult as El Campeon. There is a par 5 on the back 9 that is being renovated and is cut down to about 245 yards.

Fantastic course

The course was amazing from tee to green. It was beautifully laid out. The only issue was gnats on several holes that swallowed us up. It is as nice of a course as you can play. PGA level

Disappointing

It would appear that all the time and effort is going in to El Campeon, considering they just hosted an Epsom Tour event. I'd be curious to know if they used the same range, as the main range is (and always has been!) in terrible condition.

Practice green was amazing, and safe to say, everyone was looking forward to getting out there if those conditions were anything to go by - they weren't!

As soon as we arrived at the first green, it was evident that the practice area must only be reflective of El Campeon. The Las Colinas greens were slow, bumpy and not rolling well at all.

It progressed downhill from there. Rough tee boxes, rough fairways, awful off the fairway and the icing on the cake, swarms of mosquitos, especially rounding 5, 6 & 7 - bring bug spray!

Construction is wreaking havoc and it's not subtle. #8 is gone, with no re-routing, so just a massive drive from 7 to (old #9) 8. The back continues to spiral downward, with a par 5 chopped to 250 yards!

Pace of play was good at first as the course was open. When we did finally catch the group in front of us, it was evident that none of them had really played much golf. Given we had a group of 25, we couldn't play through them (not that they ever offered) and the ranger, who passed them 3x did nothing! We backed up to 3 groups on a tee box before we had to ask the beverage cart girl to intervene and call the clubhouse - should not have come to that!

The kicker at the end of the day is the restaurant and bar that is way, wayyyy over priced!

Until all the construction is completed on this side, I would highly recommend staying away for now!

Loved it.

This course is one of the nicest I have played. Everything about the course itself was amazing. The course was in top shape from tee box to greens and the views of the course is like playing a world class course. The only problem I ran into were the gnats. They were pretty bad on some holes, to the point that I slapped my ball and got in the cart and took off because they were covering my ball and legs and swirling all around me.

Under Too Much Construction

Front nine in fair shape. The back nine has a par 5 shortened to a 245 yard par 3. Some areas have so much work being done you can't drive or walk on them.

Not worth it for the price.

A lot of the back 9 is cart path only.

Best condition ever

The layout is always one of the best in the state, but the condition is better than ever. After hosting the LPGA event, the greens were like glass, fairways perfect and the 2-3 inch rough rightly penalized a wayward drive. If you are a low handicapper, there has never been a better time to test your skills. Higher handicaps will enjoy the pristine conditions, but they might want to bring an extra sleeve of balls.

Donwword spiral

Holes 4,6,8,10,12,13,14,17 fairways in horrible condition. 14 is almost unplayable if you are on left side . Around the greens there are ruts bald patches dirt and ground under repair not marked as such. This is not resort golf by any stretch of the imagination. Pace of play is slow no rangers to move groups along. Very high priced for such poor playing conditions. To their credit the greens are in very good shape. Under current course conditions I cannot recommend las colinas
