The other golf course at Mission Inn Resort and Club near Orlando: Gary Koch's Las Colinas Course

HOWEY IN THE HILLS, Fla. -- Also known as "The Hills," Mission Inn Resort and Club's Las Colinas Course was designed by former PGA Tour player Gary Koch. Opened in 1992, it contrasts with the resort's other golf course, El Campeon, which is actually hillier and opened in 1917.

Las Colinas has six sets of tees and measures 7,230 yards from the tips. Spread out through a development, the course features large greens, plenty of water and sand, and thick trees guarding many of the fairways.
