Always In Great Shape

Conditions are currently excellent, especially the greens. Layout is challenging but fair. The staff treated our group well, and we would highly recommend this course to anyone in the area.

Excellent Conditions

Our group plays every weekend within an hour drive of Tampa. Big Cypress currently has the best greens in the area.

The other conditions were great as well. The layout is challenging, and quite enjoyable for a Ron Garl design through the swamps of Florida.

Staff was friendly, and the locals treated us nicely. Go play here ASAP before the summer maintenance season.

One of the Best

Course was in excellent condition. The layout is better than most in the area. Definitely worth the drive over from Tampa. They hosted a group of 16 of us, and everyone enjoyed the day. Greens are challenging, but course is manageable if you avoid the 180+ bunkers.

We will return.

El Campeon - Group Outing

Visited Mission Inn for the first time over the weekend for a group event. The El Campeon course was amazing. Loved the layout over the elevated terrain. Holes were fair and conditions were great, especially considering how much rain the area gets in August. Staff was very accommodating and our group really enjoyed both days we were on site.

Long, Difficult... Still Fun

The course is in great shape at the moment. Greens are fast and smooth. Fairways are nice and the rough isn't too penal.

That being said... it's a beast of a layout. Most of the front nine is easy to get around. But the back will frustrate even the best golfers. Keeping in mind it's a par 71, choose your tees carefully. In fact, my one recommendation to the course would be to tweak some of the forward tee options.

Bottom line, the course is great. Go play it if you want a challenge.

Excellent Course

Took a group out to OCN last weekend. The conditions are currently perfect. Some of the best greens our league has played in the area. The layout is decent, and as hard as you want to make it depending which tee box you choose. Overall a great day, and thanks to the staff for treating us well.

Vastly Improved!

New ownership has definitely turned this course around. The greens are excellent! Fairways, rough and bunkers are all decent. New GPS carts help speed up play.

But the course is a challenge! Insanely narrow landing areas at times, especially on the par 5s.

Hopefully they continue to invest and improve drainage, as its been known to retain water in the summer months. But worth playing now!

Great Value

Greens are in good shape, but maybe on the slow-side. Fairways are tight! Definitely need seeding and watering. But you can't beat the current value.

Take advantage of their deals and embrace the challenging conditions.

Challenging and Fun

Starts and ends easy. But everything in between is a good test of golf. Beautiful layout and in great condition, despite obvious signs it gets a lot of play. Definitely recommended.

Wide Open and Fun

Very forgiving off the tee. Zero water hazards on the course. And you have to really hit a bad shot to go OB. But the layout is an excellent mix of short and long holes. Challenging par 3s. Just a really fun track in general.

Conditions at the moment are perfect.

It's worth going out of your way to play this course.

Excellent layout, and conditions are currently perfect. Despite being wide open off the tee, the course is quite punishing if you spray the driver. Greens are undulating, but roll very smooth. Fun day of golf.
