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.

El Campeon

Chourse could use a major overhaul. It’s over 100 years old and they probably have never resurfaced the course. Tee boxes were in really bad shape Fairways about the same. tough course and nice layout but for the money it wasn’t worth it.

Elevation changes

With the diversity of elevation on the course the change was welcome from what we're used to in South Florida. Tee shots straight uphill or downhill took some calculations. Greens were excellent, some fairways could use a little fixing up. Played with Terry who works there so he chaperone around the course which was very helpful. I will be back soon and recommend it to anyone who's looking for the excitement this course provides

Highly recommended

Despite slow 5 hour round had a great time. Greens run true fairways and tees in peak conditions. Worth the drive to play course with so much history

Overpriced_bad course conditions

I had played El Campeon a few years back and loved the course. I decided to try Las Colinas but after playing it this morning, I would not recommend this course. At 109$ for the green fee, you are definitely not getting your money’s worth. The greens were in good shape but that’s about it. Lots of spots hitting in muddy areas. Maybe if the course was 55-60$ it would make sense but not at 110$.

Design is unique

The elevation change is very unique in FL. It keeps me excited playing every hole.

Green and fairway aren’t good in a few holes, but the layout more than offset that.

Harder than I expected....

The course layout and conditions were great. There was more elevation change than I expected, and more break to the greens than I am used to. I'm not really one to complain however, I inquired about pin placement indicators (ie colored flags, secondary flag on the stick, etc.) and the starter tapped the GPS in my cart and said "use this and if you're on the green you'll have a birdie putt". Now, at the directional sign for the course the had a "pin position#2" sign but the scorecard didn't have pin positions on it, and the GPS didn't have pin positions on it. There was a zoom feature on the GPS for the greens which showed the slopes, but the pin was shown in the center of every one of them. Here's my dilemma...If the flag is on the front of the green I don't want to necessarily play a shot at the flag and miss short, so I'd like to know what club I can use to carry past the flag and stay on the green. The opposite is true if the flag is in the back. Also, since the green zoom feature shows the slopes (which are sever in some spots) you might want to adjust your aim or distance to accommodate the slopes. This came into play on quite a few holes and I found myself saying "well I wish I'd known that"...Sorry to fuss, but it was an issue and I didn't really appreciate the starter making me feel like I should be lucky just to hit the green. It was a little pretentious. I played the El Campeon course and I found it challenging but enjoyable.

They sent us to a different course

We were very excited to experience El Campeón for the first time. We booked a 2:12pm tee time. Upon arrival, the starter (who was very kind) approached us and let us know that a group of 20 was teeing off on El Campeón and that we would be better off going to play the other course (Las Colinas) and if we tried to play El Campeón, we would not finish our round. The person in the pro shop said that there was nothing they could do to comp us since it was a TeeOff booked time. It became apparent that they had either overbooked or bumped our tee time entirely. While Las Colinas was a nice course, it was definitely disappointing to not be able to play the course that we booked/paid for.

The pace of play was horrible. The first 5 holes went smoothly, the rest was hit and wait. We teed off at 1:30 and couldn't play #18 because we has a 6:15 dinner reservation on the Mission property. There should have been a ranger pushing the pace of play.
