Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course

This course is extremely overrated, the staff was very rude from the bag boys to the starter, to the pro shop. The course isn't worth the money and for sure not worth the drive from Orlando. Las Colinas the other course I played a month ago wasn't much better. A resort that is average at best out in the middle of now where.Don't waste your time and especially your money.

Far away but worth the drive ! One of the nicest golf played in Orlando (like Grand Cypress) but greens are a bit too slow.

5 hours 15 minutes for a threesome was ridiculous pace. Never saw a ranger entire time we played.

And couple i played with had to chase down the cart girl several times. And my wife heard in the bar that several people had been there 4 days and had never seen the cart girl. Yet it was in high 80s temperature wise so I would have thought girl would be out a lot making a lot of sales.

Course was very wet, 1 and 18 were "cart path only" with no provisions for handicapped players. No handicap flags - no need just stay 7-10 yard away from greens and tees. Even if one can't walk that far, it doesn't matter

Greens were slow surprisingly considering everthing. And very inconsistent. one would have very slick places and others that were super super slow. Extremely hard to get feel on.

But lots of emphasis on it was the #1 course in Florida and how great it was by the starter. Seems he's never heard of TPC Sawgrass, Streamsong, Innesbrook Copper Head amoungs many other courses. Super long ways from #1 in state of florida by almost anyone's true judgement.

My wife had to go to check me in as it was too far for myself (disabledd and limited walking ability) to walk. Course staff didn't care. Mostly unfriendly.

Have friend coming from NJ later this month and I cancelled the show round there as it's a lousy showpiece for Florida golf. Rudeness and slowness are not typical for most florida courses, especially those that rely on tourism.

Wonderful layout. Much more up and down than most Florida courses. Wonderful use of the single tree to limit access to the green on certain lines. Conditions decent, greens could have been a bit quicker. Would certainly play again.

I had been hearing great things about this course. Got a great price on a hot deal. The course was one of the most beautiful I have played in the central Florida area. Great elevation changes , open fairways well placed water hazards. The greens were challenging with varying speeds and elevations. Can't wait to go back and play the other course.

Always a pleasure playing “Camp”. It’s a great layout that is very challenging. Condition is excellent. Sort of a hidden gem as it’s nearly an hour drive from the Amusements and many vacationers overlook it. It’s well worth the drive. Highly recommended
There is also a second course named Los Collinas (sp) which is nice but play El Campeon over it.

A perfect golf round in Mission Inn el Campeon on a windy afternoon: good conditions, ideal pace of play, a friendly starter and a lot of pleasure on the course!

Beautiful, well maintained course. Challenging. Bring you A game.

First 10holes took 3 hours, overall just over 5 hours, kills any enjoyment when you are waiting to play every shot

After 7 holes the ranger appeared and did speak to the gents four two ahead of us who had lost over a hole on the group in front of them. He spoke politely to them to little effect, they put 6 balls in the water at the next hole a par 3. They surely should have been told to miss the next hole to catch up as they were holding up the whole course

It was not a cheap round so we won’t be back until we can see from the reviews that they are improving the pace of play

Pace of play was terrible with sometimes 3 groups waiting on the tee box. No ranger in sight throughout the entire round. Lots of retirees out for a nice casual day with no interest in keeping up pace.

Course is nice with some nice elevation changes but they must work on pace.

Not worth returning with so many other great courses to play in the area

Great layout and good condition (some sand on greens but not an issue). Played a different course for the last 2 weeks and I rate this one the best so far. No fairway lined villas, not flat and uninteresting, real test so bring your A game from the Blues. Definitely recommend and worth the drive. Played ChampionsGate the day before and no contest!

Excellent layout and conditions. Pro shop needs to pair people up. Too many twosomes!

Second time playing. Still a great course very challenging. Greens roll true, fairways cut nicely so you gat a good lie. I will be back and would recommend to anyone who wants to play a great course.

I couldn’t play because they had no golf carts. I waited 30 minutes after my tee time and they still had no carts available. They let many people who played early replay again, with no regard for players who had pm tee times.
I wasted 2 hours of my day going out there for nothing.
You shouldn’t advertise tee times on Golfnow if you can’t honor them.

When I get there from my starting time they were out of college golf carts. When we got on the course the round took over five hours. Course was in OK condition but for me there was way too much elevation change. Hitting up a hill at a elevated green was difficult. Play was way too slow. Course was not managed well.

Good condition for winter. Course was very challenging and requires perfect placement on approach. Played early morning 730ish and ground crews where working on daily duties with little to no golf course etiquette. Have played many cheaper courses and more expensive and always crews respect your play and here none. Start and run machines will teeing off and while playing the greens. Would not have expected this every on a course of this caliber.

This course is just beautiful. Everyone who loves golf should play this course. The change in elevation is amazing for Florida.

Played El Campeon for the first time. Very challenging layout. Prior course knowledge would really help. Conditions were excellent. Pace of play was a bit slow. 5. Hrs. Difficulty of the layout has something to do with that. Nice elevation changes along with plenty of water and island greens. Speed of greens was nice. Plenty of cart service during play. When I return to Florida in a few months Mission Inn a definite stop. Both courses are great.
