As Advertised!

The course was in great shape even with all the rain the night before. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were good. The course layout was typical of what you normally see on the courses on the west side of Orlando with plenty of elevation changes with some significant elevation changes from the tee box to the fairways as you would see in North Carolina. And this course sits right in the middle of a hidden gem resort so the amenities and clubhouse were incredible. I played solo so I can’t wait to come back and play with friends. Would definitely recommend to anyone. It is a bit pricey though, but worth it if you feel like splurging.

Awesome day at Mission Resort

Course in great condition for March! Greens smooth and hold approach shots well, only downside to me is the greens are medium speed this time of the year and I like fast greens. Everything else Right up there with OCN, Shingle, Hawks, CG etc. but better value! Great layout and challenging course.

Great golf experience but not happy with Golfnow in the booking process

I had a very enjoyable day at El campeon although my golf really sucked! The biggest disappointment however was when I arrived at the course I saw that golf now had double booked me for AM tee time was not confirmed the night before! I am in the process of confirming that I am not going to be double charged.

Well Worth the Drive

I had heard about the course from other golfers and decided to make the one-hour drive from Kissimmee. I was not disappointed. The course has much more elevation change than any other course I have played in Central Florida, plus lots of water hazards and sand traps. The first two holes (a par 5 followed by a par 3) give you an indication of what is to come. The third hole lulls you into complacency before you arrive at the fourth hole where there is a forced carry across a large pond with the fairway sloping up a ski hill. It continues from there. The course conditioning was good and the greens rolled true even though recovering from being punched a few weeks prior.

If I had to note one negative, it was the pace of play. Our group was waiting on EVERY shot and there was no sign of a course ranger/marshall trying to speed up play.

Looking forward to going back to play there again.

Course is in great shape.

I play this course whenever I am in the area. It is in best shape I have seen. Greens were rolling extremely well. A couple tees perhaps not at their best but fairways and greens were great. I played early morning in about three hours. It has surprising elevation changes for a Florida course. Holes 4, 5, 6 and 7 all play 1.5 to 2 clubs longer on approach to greens.

Fun layout course

First time playing here.
Excellent facility. Carts spotless. Typical old pro shop layout. Nice friendly staff.
As I parked a cart was driven up behind the car to collect me and the clubs. Very nice touch as being British bag drops always confuse us.
Having to pay for range balls was the only sore point. No mention of this when booking or when checking in. I was asked would I like to use the range, I said yes and was then charged even though I gave in Cadbury’s chocolate Just a small niggle but others should know.
The course has a fantastic layout. Some stunning holes.
Excellent for bird enthusiasts also.
Would definitely play again.
Thank you
Gordon

Course is is better than best condition

The course is in the best condition I have ever seen it in. Greens were perfect. Anything putted from above the hole was impossible to stop within 5 feet. The layout is terrific,: elevation changes, forced carries, deep bunkers, short and long par 5s. The 17th hole is one of the best par 5s in all of Florida. If you have not played El Campeon now is the time to challenge it, if you have played it before- now is the time to play it again. Pay attention to the pin placements, you have to play all your approach shots underneath the pin- if not you better have a great short game and the ability to make 5 footers for par.

Another great day on El Campeon

The course was in great shape. Everyone in the pro shop is always so nice. The practice area is the best in the area.
The greens were fast and true. Can’t wait to play it again.

Outstanding Golf Course

The course was in fine shape, and El Campeon has one of the finest layouts of the 60 or 70 courses I have played in Florida, A combination of hills, trees, water, and sand produces many beautiful golf holes. The 17th hole, the Devils Delight, lives up to its name by the way. My partner, a championship flight golfer visiting from Wisconsin, absolutely loved the course.
