Unless you are a single digit HDCP, Play the Gold Tees!!

This is a beautiful golf course but it is a very difficult course. I played the Blue Tees with a 2 handicapper. I am a 13. He shot an amazing 77. The course kicked my tail and I was in the upper 90s. Lesson learned, unless you are a single digit handicapper, don't play the Blue or the White tees, play the Golds or you won't have any fun but instead will be frustrated. The winds were fairly calm when I played. Had they picked up, I probably would have hit triple digits.

This is a very scenic course. A lot of water comes into play. The greens were smooth and slick, but held upon approach. Easy to 3 putt if you are unskilled at putting. That was the one thing I did correctly, no 3 putts.

A long drive from Orlando, time wise, but scenic. Eat before you get there. The kitchen doesn't open up until 11 am.

It would have been nice if be informed of a tournament, ongoing. Was told it was wrapping up and delayed playing time. Pin placements were set for pro, not frequent golfers :(

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.
