Top Shelf

A legitimate best in class course. Great layout. Well manicured and maintained. If you are looking for challenging experience on a greta course this is the place. Fair if you hit in the right places, but not overly punitive. Treat yourself to this course.

A hidden gem in FL

El Campeon is one of the best golf courses in FL with a variety of challenges: fast greens, length & difficulty of the holes! ElmCampeon challenged me to test all my golfing skills!

There are waters, plenty of bunkers & many hilly holes unlike other FL courses. Not all the lies are flat. Rather, every shot was challenging because of the lies.

Nonetheless, I am always excited to challenge El Campeon! Perhaps, next time I may be able to conquer the course, I hope!!!

Halloween treat (no trick)

El Campeon has long been a favorite tract, but I can’t recall playing it in better condition. The tees and greens were great, the bunkers raked & the greens were fantastic. Las Colinas tends to have better greens imho, but when fixing ball marks, one can feel the solid root structures and they rolled fast and true. My only complaint is not enough golfers fixing their own ball marks. The super and staff are doing a great job.

Florida course with elevation change

I golfed this course last year and wanted to take my son here this year
We’re from Buffalo so to me it’s a very Florida style tract with lots of water, par 3s over water, lots of guarded greens with great sand traps. Plus palm trees, gator warning signs and fast greens
My son really liked it! It’s worth the extra drive from Orlando

Great Conditions!

Not much to say other than “excellent”. The only issues with El Campeon are caused by the morons that play it and fail to fill divots, repair ball marks, or rake bunkers. With great conditions from tee to green, it is unbelievable to me that players won’t take the time to reward the hard work of the staff by taking a few seconds to fix their divots, ball marks, and bunker prints/shots. Anyway, El Campeon is a fabulous track that is a mere 40 minute drive (at most!) from the Orlando area. If you love golf, you will thoroughly enjoy El Campeon but you better bring your A game as it will test every aspect of your skills. Unlike most FL courses, this course has some serious elevation changes and some extremely tricky and FAST greens. Well worth the trip and a great value for your golfing dollar!!

I played the old course this time and except for one green, the greens were smooth and a good pace! The on course cart attendant was timely and the prices were reasonable. There were a few wet areas and the new carts have GPS and you can't drive into any wet spots The GPS showed the hole and was a touch screen so you could see how far that bunker was from the tee box! I have played both courses and enjoyed both of them!

Better than ever

Played here many times and tee to green this is the best condition the course has ever been in. The greens were fast and true as usually, but the fairways were in tournament condition. The rough was thick and could cost you 1/2 a shot if you missed the fairway. The layout is one on the best in Florida. If you want to test your game, El Campion is the ideal place to go in its current condition.
The off course amenities: putting area, range and on site restaurant are excellent places to begin and end your round.

El Campion course has beautiful views.

The El Campion course has rolling hills & nicely maintained fairways & greens. Bunkers are firm & the greens roll true but are slowish.
