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.

Awesome layout

Awesome golf course, greens were lightly top dressed which didn’t really affect your putts at all. Fairways were the best we played on this spring.

El Campeón es un Ganador.

This review is limited to El Campeon which is a magnificent and unique value in Central Florida. It's sister course, Los Colinas, although very nice in it's own right, is a more traditional course found throughout Florida's gated communities.

But El Campeon had it all, elevation changes, old Florida tree canopy, challenging and unqiue holes, and scenic views. It is definitely worth the drive from Central Florida and when compared to the other courses in Lake County, is top of the list.

The facilities are very nice and the staff was friendly and courteous. My only complaint would be the pace of play, as I several groups in front of me had golf ball fisherman who would spend more time looking for lost golf balls in the water than playing golf.

Overpriced and mediocre

I was extremely disappointed in this course. The layout was mediocre compared to other courses in the area, with no special challenges. The pace of play was excruciatingly slow. The electronic cards would shut off if the cards were brought to near locations where they shouldn’t be going, which is great, except our shut off twice on two holes, even when they were in the middle of the cart path. We could see that the cart of the group in front of us were doing the same thing. The course was in good condition. I will not be playing here again and wouldn’t recommend it to others.

Tough golf course

Not you're typical flat Florida golf course .

This course has teeth and will take a bite out of you .

Pace of play was excellent and course condition was very good .

Shout out to the pro shop staff after driving from the coast and arriving well before our tee time they reworked our tee time so we would not have to wait for 2 hours .

Turtle pace

Teed off at 1:32. Four hours later finished #13. Two other groups waiting on 14th tee so we went home. I think Marshall may have left early so he wouldn't have to face abuse. Cart girls stayed thankfully as there was lots of drinking time on tee boxes. We could only laugh about it with the guys in the threesome behind us. One group just behind us quit after 5 holes because they were group #4 on that particular tee box. Would never go back there- pro shop was not sympathetic in any way. Go play Dubsdread of Debary for better value and pace of play.

Mission Inn still not where it should be

I was born & raised not too far from 'the Mish' as we referred to it. El Campeon is one of the best layouts in FL. Las Colinas was a nice layout when Koch first finished it but the last few owners have prostituted it so much for developments that it is a joke. As for conditions, spend your money on Deer Island. The greens at Colinas were very nice but also very slow. The fairways were pretty sad in places and not worthy of the elevated price they command. The tees and areas around the green are marginal. All said, I'll be avoiding this place unless a $35 special shows up one day.
