Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course

Hey,
awesome course to play, nice layout and good conditions.
Later about 6:30 pm on the 17th hole the water sprinkler startet his work.
To much flights were to slow, we endet on the 18th in the dark, startet at 1:40pm endet at 7:15 pm...
The were also just one cart coming over with drinks and snacks.
Overall it was nice to play.

I golfed this course last year and wanted to take my son here this year
We’re from Buffalo so to me it’s a very Florida style tract with lots of water, par 3s over water, lots of guarded greens with great sand traps. Plus palm trees, gator warning signs and fast greens
My son really liked it! It’s worth the extra drive from Orlando

Not much to say other than “excellent”. The only issues with El Campeon are caused by the morons that play it and fail to fill divots, repair ball marks, or rake bunkers. With great conditions from tee to green, it is unbelievable to me that players won’t take the time to reward the hard work of the staff by taking a few seconds to fix their divots, ball marks, and bunker prints/shots. Anyway, El Campeon is a fabulous track that is a mere 40 minute drive (at most!) from the Orlando area. If you love golf, you will thoroughly enjoy El Campeon but you better bring your A game as it will test every aspect of your skills. Unlike most FL courses, this course has some serious elevation changes and some extremely tricky and FAST greens. Well worth the trip and a great value for your golfing dollar!!

Beautiful layout, change in elevation makes it challenging.
Food at Nickers was very tasteful. Enjoyed it and will be back.

I played the old course this time and except for one green, the greens were smooth and a good pace! The on course cart attendant was timely and the prices were reasonable. There were a few wet areas and the new carts have GPS and you can't drive into any wet spots The GPS showed the hole and was a touch screen so you could see how far that bunker was from the tee box! I have played both courses and enjoyed both of them!

Played here many times and tee to green this is the best condition the course has ever been in. The greens were fast and true as usually, but the fairways were in tournament condition. The rough was thick and could cost you 1/2 a shot if you missed the fairway. The layout is one on the best in Florida. If you want to test your game, El Campion is the ideal place to go in its current condition.
The off course amenities: putting area, range and on site restaurant are excellent places to begin and end your round.

The El Campion course has rolling hills & nicely maintained fairways & greens. Bunkers are firm & the greens roll true but are slowish.

We played as a 4 ball stuck behind a group called the Plantations playing Texas scramble. They were oblivious to anyone else. Two ladies who seemed hardly able to walk and two men who took ages to take their shots. They had no clue. We stood on the 16th in the pouring rain waiting to play while they dithered around. To add insult to injury once we were absolutely soaked waiting for them they went off! Such a shame as it would have been a great round otherwise. They should have been on a pitch and putt not a championship course.

Some up hill holes. Need 2 extra clubs.
No. 18 second shot must draw the ball left fairway.

Must play if staying anywhere close worth the drive

I used to play Mission Inn’s El Campeon course when I was a kid and it was called Floridan Country Club. It never gets old. Tremendous layout and I happen to catch it this time right after the Motah Begay III junior championship so the conditions were incredible.

I know, i am a 2 some behind a 4 some, have no "rights", but what is wrong w some people! Course empty, 9 00 was a 4 some, we were 2 some at 940...and noone behind us for over an hour.....caught them on 5th hole, and it was brutal, watching 1 guy take 5 practice swings, another guy hitting not past the red tees, the gal hitting 50 yds off reds, all, losing balls (we guess at least 5 per player), should have let us play thru by 8th hole (par 3) (6 balls in water, but i may have lost count), but nope...and 2 some behind us caught us on 11th hole as we waited and waited and waited....4:35 to play as 2 some, rude, horrible people...yah we could have skipped a hole, passed them by, but really???? We love this course, but have never seen a ranger, and have never played in under 4 30!!!

Course is in great shape,service was great,lots of available activities. Food prices a little bit on the pricey side otherwise everything was great.

From booking online to walking into the Pro Shop it couldn't be easier. The staff had our reservation and we were on our way in five minutes. The starter got us two carts and sent us on our way. There were two groups that teed off right in front of us and they never held us up! After we finished we went inside for cold drinks and the staff was great in serving us and refilling our drinks when they got low!! The course was in excellent shape very challenging and the greens were plenty fast and very smooth! The course had a drink cart which stopped several times to see if we needed any drinks or food!! You won't go wrong playing this course! We will be back to play the other 18 soon!
