Absolutely The BEST!

El Campeon at Mission Inn is absolutely the best place you can play in Florida. I have played here foe many years and have never not found the course in perfect condition. It is challenging and fun. It has the best scenic holes anywhere. You have uphill shots, downhill shots, peninsula greens, elevated greens, doglegs. The designer was genius. It is my favorite course in Florida.

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.

Great Layout - Could use some TLC

Played on a Wed late morning and was a 5 hour round as a 3some behind a 2some and a 4some. The greens were in really good shape, but there were numerous dead spots on the fairways and around the greens. Sand was not good. Layout, however, is really cool. Elevation changes you don't typically see in the Orlando area made for a fun round. Could be a really nice course with some improvement to the conditions.

Great course, lots of elevation changes and great greens

Very difficult course with lots of elevation changes and sloping greens. Best greens I've played on in a long time. Some very unique, interesting and memorable holes. Worth playing.

Excellent Florida Experience

A very impressive overall golf experience. Beautiful facilities and course. The front nine was very slow but the group in front of us left after nine and pace of play picked up. A must play course in the Orlando area.

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

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!
