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.

nice course, could be better

The course looks well maintained, great layout, however, the green is really slow, both the practice green and the course greens. Tee boxes are in excellent condition, some fairways have holes (not divots) here and there, a few good drives only to find my balls are in some of the holes. The beverage cart stopped often, thanks for the service! Although the girl didn't seem to be having a good day. Pace was slow, 2 foursome in front of us, wish them have played faster. Overall, it's a great course with room to grow better. Food in the grill room is not bad. If you don't mind slow greens and want to play a somewhat challenging course, this is one you can spend 5 hours.

A must play

Two courses to play. El Campion being the ome where Symetra, McKenzie, college etc. tournaments are played. Right now in great shape. Will test you in many ways. Elevated fairways & greens, challenging par 3's over water, dogleggs, fairway & greenside bunkers. Fast true greens. Big trees strategically placed on fairways. You will use every club in your bag. You will love the challenge.

Second Time

This was my second time at El Campeon and it is worth it. The course history and elevations make it a must play in Florida. Memorable holes all around. The course was in excellent summer condition. You expect slower greens and wet conditions in September. The staff got us out earlier than expected which was a plus. Though I have never stayed, Mission Inn would be a great stay/play golf destination.

Great course! Poor communication.

I have been playing Mission Inn for over twenty years and love the challenge. I would love to give my round five stars but cannot due to the fact that there was NO WATER on the course and no one informed us of this prior to our round. All of the water fountains and restroom had the water turned off. Not only is this a dehydration hazard in 90 plus degree temperatures it is a heath hazard as the toilets could not be flushed and where full of human waste. Other than that the course was fun but the greens where extremely slow.

It is what it is.

Fair, somewhat tough course from any tee. Elevation changes play with club selection. A miss in some places can lead to big numbers... like on 17. Lay WAY back on your 2nd shot or it's over. Always in great shape.

Strategic course

Course in Fantastic condition, staff and golfers we very friendly and helpful.

Course is challenging, good T-shot into fairways can still be obstructed in not strategically placed on the correct side of the fairway, like hole #1. Perfect T-shot right down the middle, only problem is there is a tree in the middle of the fairway with clear shots to either the left or right... well I was directly behind about 5 yrds, so no other option but to punch, and I was in the middle of the fairway. Several other hole presented semilunar situations. Be concise of decisions as they can come back to haunt you.

OVERALL - Fantastic Round of Golf, Highly Recommend.

Fee’s

Course is great course. Really nice layout. But some of the fee’s i think are ridiculous. A ride along was $25. Then i asked to replay and replay fee was $45 plus tax and that was for just 9 holes.. i paid $62 for first 18 i played.

Best Course in Central Florida!

My son and I have played 43 courses this year and El Campeon is truly the champion. Stunning vistas, amazing elevation, beautiful landscaping, surrounded by stunning architecture. What a gem! A must play by anyone who loves the game.
