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 course!

Playing many Orlando area courses! This place was awesome, greens were quick, definitely need to be able to control your tee shots. Tough placement golf shots. Cart girl was around often and very friendly. Will play again Forsure!

Good course but waited on every shot.

Great layout, excellent condition, friendly staff but all of that is wasted if you have to wait on every shot.

Staff was friendly but needed to take action on several groups of novice or just poor golfers playing from the wrong tees and having no idea about the game of golf. They were out for a good time and didn't care about anybody else or the course.

Very nice course but very slow.

I dont know who figures the tee times but they need to have their head examined. I played as a single and there was a single behind me with a couple two somes in front of me and two very slow foursomes in front of them. There was also a very slow foursome behind us. One of the foursomes in front of us got mad because everybody was passing them. One lady could barely hit the ball. The course was beautiful and we had a $50 sandwich lunch but the pace of play was terrible. I drove 60 miles to try a new course that was "better" than I normally play but won't do it again.

Great course, pricey poor pace

I booked this course for my son and grandson while they were here visiting, 360$ for a nice course is the rate most upscale courses charge, The course was in great shape! greens fairways, tees!

However, the pace of play was way too slow 5hours twenty minutes just killed what should have been a great experience, we saw a marshal but he just drove around several times we waited 15 minutes on each shot and three groups on a par 3 hole in the middle of the round was totally unacceptable!

The golf course was excellent, how the pace of play will be enough for me not to return, a real shame.

Great people, terrible pace of play

Saturday round. Course in decent shape except for some tee boxes mostly dirt. Range also mostly dirt. The people from car to pro shop and one ranger we saw all very nice. But pace of play was awful. Teed off 1030, finished at 410. 5:40 minutes is unacceptable for a course this decent and no cart path only rules in place. Management should try harder on that issue. Beverage cart should let players come to them after making their shots not drive up to them in the fairway after they hit causing more delays. Simple fixes it would seem.

Awesome day at Mission Resort

Course in great condition for March! Greens smooth and hold approach shots well, only downside to me is the greens are medium speed this time of the year and I like fast greens. Everything else Right up there with OCN, Shingle, Hawks, CG etc. but better value! Great layout and challenging course.

Great Day of Golf

Perfect day, awesome course enjoyed the day very much. Course was in great condition greens were fast fairways were trim and neat overall perfect. Pace of play was slow, a foursome in front having difficulties and a marshal was not out to keep the pace moving. First time that has occurred in my playing this course. The folks in front of us were about two tee-boxes further back than their skill level, would tee off to the ladies tee and you can get the rest as they attempted to move down the fairways.

Not impressed!!

The highlight was the friendly golf attendants and the fabulous drink cart lady. Pro shop workers not friendly. Time keeper- not friendly, rude. I was charged $75!! for club rental. It cost more to rent the clubs than to play. There was no hybrid in the bag. No one offered to carry the clubs to the golf cart area, it was a bit of a hike for me. And I have a bad knee. Geez! Also no rate if you can only play 9 holes.

Outstanding classic golf course

This was the first time we had ever played this course. It was outstanding. The variety from hole to hole was excellent. Water, elevation changes, sand - you get it all. And the course was in very good condition.

Only complaint was the need for a ranger as it took us over 5 hours to complete the round.

Great Time

Course in very good condition. Staff very professional and friendly. Ended up playing their other 18 later that day!! Only downfall was restaurant (Nickers) didn’t open until 11:30 and we had an hour to kill before second tee off at around 11:50. Would have been great to sit and have a quick bite and a Cup of coffee.

Nice course — Hit ‘em straight

Enjoyed the course where ball placement is at a premium and you are penalized for errant shots.

Course was very busy round took 5:18 to play.

All in all I would certainly come back.
