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.

4 hour 18

Played 18 on Las Coiinas greens were smooth except one which had 3 or 4 sand areas. 16 fairways smooth and 2 with some rough patches. Altogether would play again next weekend.

Course is nice

For the most part the course was in good shape. It is a very nice layout. The only thing that deterred getting 5 stars was the fact there was a great deal of sand on the greens. I am assuming they just aerated the greens.

Best course in the area

from tee to green everything was in perfect condition. Greens were the best ones I have played on down here. Receptive to approaches, fairly quick to put on but true to their lines. I cannot wait to play here again or try El Campeon their other 18 course.

Great Course with amazing views

This place is a treasure trove for atmosphere. Settled between two lakes with tons of views and wild life. Everything was in good shape. The greens were a 8.5/10 they held and rolled pretty true. For $40-50 you can't beat the value.

Best Course Layout I’ve Ever Played

Couldn’t have been a better day of golf at El Campeon! The staff was very friendly the minute I got to the course, the course was in great shape, even for being recently punched, and as always the layout and overall play was fantastic. The price was even very reasonable, especially compared to nearby courses that are in much worse conditions. Will always want to come back and play this challenging, but exciting, course!

Course was in very good condition. Driving range closed for repairs. Once we passed a foursome in front of us, pace was excellent.

Layout is challenging. No short par 3s on this course!

Knickers was very good as well.

I'll definitely be back.

Must Play

El Campeon is one of the courses that you can play in Central Florida. If you think that you have game and want something different from the flat, water and bunker courses in the area, play it! The elevation changes trees and dogleg are challenging. Course conditions are very good. The only complaint was pace of play. The foursome ahead of me took 4 hrs and 45 minutes to complete the round.

Excellent Course

First time playing this course. Driving range was closed and hole 2 green was under repair and had a temp green. Those were the only negatives about the course. Greens and tee boxes were in great shape. Many elevations changes and water hazards Very challenging for me being an 18 handicap. Will definitely play again and will try the Los Colinas course also.

Well Maintained

Course had some wet areas, and areas under repair. Otherwise, great shape with fantastic greens and maintained bunkers. A great place for hot deals.

Nice place to play

Our first time to Mission Inn Resort Las Colinas course. First off the box for an early round on Monday. Course

Layout was fun. Greens were a bit long but with all the rain I wasn’t complaining. Staff was great and overall course was in great shape. A bit soft during the rain season but I’m sure it will be great once it dries out. We’ll definitely be back again.

Excellent Condition

The course is in great condition from tee to green. Very interesting layout with a variety of challenges. My second time playing the course, have always played El Campion in the past but will play both from now on.

Pitfalls of hot deal

After traveling 90 minutes to play at course again after positive experience one week ago, our round lasted only two holes before sky opened up and drenched us. With forecast not favorable and course very wet, we ventured back to pro shop to seek a rain check but were denied.. “We don’t issue rain checks to GolfNow customers.” After review of Golf Now policy, I am done with it and won’t be booking any more through it
