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.

Good well maintained course.

A wet day but still enjoyed the course. I liked its sister course better but this is a nice track. Lots of driving between holes.

Hills in Florida!!!!

Did not expect to find such a hilly course in Florida. Great layout and equally great conditions. Three island greens. Not a course for the faint of heart.

Over priced

That’s not a $70 course! Did not care for the terrible pun placements. Almost every hole on the green was placed on an angle! Putting was not fun on your course and it would have been nice to at least have one flat lie on the green! We as a group didn’t care for hole 3 running parallel to another fairway from the back nine. Doubt I’ll be back.

Finally a pro shop that has more for women to choose from.

I absolutely loved this course. Unfortunately it was getting very windy and cold to really enjoy it comfortably. So luckily they have quite a selection of clothing for women so I picked up a jacket to stay warm while golfing.

Golfweek Rater

The course layout is outstanding. I have played it before, and it is a privilege.

The condition of the fairways were fair, greens & surrounds good.

Thought it was odd that the staff did not help me with my golf bag at the bag drop.

The pro extended me a PGA rate which was very nice of her.

Good day on the course!

Tough course

I hadn’t played here in 30 years. I’m 75 now and the course let me know why I felt so old!! It is a great course but you’d better be able to hit your driver long to get up the hills. The uphill holes are brutal, even from the white tees. The course was in really good shape, the greens hold very well. There were some diabolical pin placements for a resort course…no need for PGA tournament placements for non-PGA players. My playing partner’s handicaps were +2 and scratch and neither one broke 80. The pace of play, 5 hours, was unacceptable. No ranger to be found…anyone who teed off after 1:00 pm, would not have finished.

Great Layout

The layout of nearly all of the holes was excellent. Great variation of features that were challenging and fun to play. The front nine conditions were excellent but the back nine left a lot to be desired. The back nine fairways were quite rugged and in need of a lot of work. The greens having been recently sanded further added to the poor impression. The green conditions are forgivable but the fairways were not. Overall I liked course and will play it again some time.

Slow play

Course was in reasonable condition, greens were excellent but the day was marred because of slow play. Get rangers out there !

Great Weather, greens sandy without warning

Great weather for golf, great pairing with another twosome, but the greens had recently been sanded without warning on golf.now. Otherwise, the course is in great shape, and the greens will probably be perfect in about 3 weeks.
