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.

Course is nice, pace of play terrible!

On my visit to see my kids. My son treated me for a round that we both looked forward too. Course layout and condition beautiful, The pace of play was the worst I have ever been on in 48 years of playing! No ranger monitoring pace of play. We were a twosome, two many groups on the course and the two groups in front of us had no idea how to play ready golf. Consistently letting a hole gap in front of them We reached 14 after 5.5 hours, no joy. We picked up and left with 4 holes left. Expensive 14 holes. Maybe 6.5hrs may be generous!

Fun course

Pace of play was an issue. Golf course is very rough if you get off the fairway, but fairways and greens are nice.

Great course, but pace of play way to slow

Great course but pace of play was way too slow. It took us over five hours to play this course.

Course in great condition, pro shop staff not so much, pace of play - awful

Arrived with exceptional service from the cart attendants, headed to the pro shop where two unpleasant gentleman checked us in. Good practice facility with nice driving range and small chipping green with practice bunker. When time to check in with the starter, seemed a little overwhelmed, but directed us to the tee and we teed off on time.

Course was in great condition, loved the layout. However, our round took close to 5 hours and 30 minutes. I gather they set teetimes eight minutes apart, which is silly for a championship layout like this. Course condition, 5/5, cart attendants 5/5, staff in the pro shop 1/5, pace of play 2/5. Not sure if I’ll be back.

Course is in terrific condition. The hilly terrain and elevated greens make this course easily 1 of the toughest tests in all of Florida.

Mixed Review

Never played this course before and was anticipating playing it as numerous friends have told me it’s a great track. Good practice facilities before the round, clubhouse, cart attendants and starter provided top customer service. However, when I got onto the course I was surprised it wasn’t in overly great condition. If I would’ve paid the rack rate, I would’ve been somewhat perturbed, however, booking it through a hot deal it was reasonable value. Overall of 3 1/2 out of 5, with the majority of the 3 1/2 rating due to course condition not being up to other top courses in and around the greater Orlando area.

Issues

Nice course, but expected it to be better than its sister course.

Troubled with other groups playing music, smoking cigars, and having a party on their round, but can't find out correcting their divets in the green, or using the rave in the bunker. And they obviously should have played a different (easier) tee.

The starter had no idea of the course slope, hence not able to calculate the number of strokes vs our handicap.

Nice Course

This is a course you need to play several times. The more you play it the more you learn to respect the personality of the course. I played in the Hickory Open a couple years ago . With the Hickory clubs you really have to think your way around the course where a successful hole is that much sweeter.

I have a love hate relationship with several holes. Go play it and enjoy the experience.
