Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course

Always enjoy this course, however, this time was the worse I have ever experienced. The group in front of us were extremely slow, zero golf experience, driving in circles in the fairway, taking forever on the greens. It took five and a half hours to play a round, two groups dropped out due to the playing time. It really took the enjoyment out of the round. Hopefully management will better monitor in the future.
Second I don't understand why there isn't any cart refreshments on the course. I could make a lot of money running a drink cart, but the last three times I have played, no one selling refreshments.

Let me first start off by saying I love playing in Mission Inn both courses. I got to the course early and checked in at the pro shop and then waited a little bit and went and checked in with the starter. When I handed him my ticket and told him my teatime, he was like you’re gonna have to wait around,, I said that was fine, but it was the way he stated it. I wasn’t asking to go out early as I knew that it was Labor Day. It was a really big group ahead of when I did tee off, so it made for extremely slow play, because the foursome in front of us kept looking for their golf balls, etc. I was paired with a really nice couple and we made the best of it and had fun playing the course.
The course itself is in great shape, there wasn’t a cart girl at first, but I guess they had called in somebody and it was very nice to see her on the back nine because it was getting warm.
If you get a chance, play either course here at Mission Inn, because the course itself is great

Called before booking to ask about green maintenance. Was told greens were punched/sanded 4 weeks ago. Called day before to confirm tee time, no comments or advisories on maintenance. Get to course and gentleman at the pro shop was kind of rude and awkwardly quiet. Walk out to go play and sure enough, the greens are being sanded the same day. I know this practice of being shady about course maintenance is widespread. But when I travel 1.5 hours to play at a resort course, I’d like to know the greens are even worth putting on. I’d probably still give you my money and play, but at least I’d know what to expect.

I think the Campeon Course was wonderful, and very reasonably priced. A great day of golfing and I would recommend it, as well as plan on returning.

Only my second time playing this course and I've now found my favorite course in Central Florida. Simply outstanding "old school" course which plays like none other around here. Memorable holes with loads of character. If I only had one course to play this would be it... Well worth the drive. A must play!

This course will test every part of your game. Very challenging and worth the drive for me, an hour plus.

The last time that I played this course last in 1986, wonderful layout, tough, challenging with a beautiful clubhouse within the resort. The greens were recently punched and are still not 100% but this is a definite return for me

Great conditions. Challenging. Lots of elevation unlike any other course I’ve played in FL. Lots of fun!! It was my favorite course when I played it 5+ years ago, and just played it on 7/29/23, and it was just as great as I remember it.

Beautiful course well maintained and a little challenging. Will definitely play here again.

Upon arrival to the course, it gave an old school feel to a golf course with the textbook clock tower in front of the clubhouse. This course immediately took me by surprise once you get to the around hole 3. There are so many rolling hills that it makes it seems as if you’ve made an escape out of Florida and into somewhere in the Mid-West. The views were lovely, as well as the quality of the course overall. I enjoyed the layout and the island-style greens that a few of the holes had. The greens could’ve been much better, but the staff informed my buddy and I that they had aerated the greens ~2 weeks prior to play as well as an influx of rain, so it’s understandable that the greens played as slow as they did. Hole 17 is the “signature hole” and it certainly delivers. Love this place and hope to have the chance to come back again.

best course in the area,all around the course was in great shape.

The course was great and will bring me back. The initial check-in experience left a lot to be desired. I arrived early and was not allowed to check in early, nor would the lady even consider putting me out early because I had a hot deal. Come back in an hour and maybe you can get out a few minutes early. They were not at all busy. 'Nuff said.
Enjoyed the round. Greens were smooth, not real fast, and had a lot of grain. Good challenge.
