Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course

Mission Inn El Campion is a must play for any serious player. The layout with severe elevation changes and tough greens are a great test of golf. The greens had been recently been punched and need about 2-3 weeks to get back to normal. They are puttable, but much slower than normal. The course plays much longer than the scorecard due to the numerous holes that require uphill tee or approach shots. Despite the recent heavy rains, the fairways and bunkers were in good condition. After the round be sure to get a burger at Nickers restaurant, best burger in town. If the range had been open (closed for maintenance) and the greens completely recovered from aerification, El Campion would have been up to its usual 5 star standards.

Great day it was hot but the course was in great shape and the staff was friendly. Played there before and would go back there again.

Two great courses, well worth the drive and money!!

Always love playing at Mission Inn. Historic course in great shape, and little traffic on a hot day. If you can handle the summer heat, you can typically play 18 in well under 3 hours.

Another awesome experience at Mission Inn!

We will be back very soon!

We did the stay and play package at Mission Inn and had a fantastic time. The golf courses are 5 stars! Challenging with fantastic views every direction. The staff is all top shelf and welcoming. We can't wait to come back!

From top to bottom, from customer service to the greens… They really have their act together, and care about you like we all want to be cared about. What a concept…

Thank you John, Dick and the rest for making my 16 year old son, literally fall in love with the sport of golf, after he played here one time!!!

We’re playing Las Colinas week, and “The Champion” again next week…

See you soon!

Course is in excellent shape, but we tee’d at 7:00 and a family of 4 with 2 young children went off at 6:40, not a ranger in sight, and they were allowed to play a 5.5 hour round. Great course, great conditions, very poor management of pace of play. Makes a nice course miserable to play.

Course staff was late getting there and short some help so getting started was a challenge. Once on the tee, it was perfect. Played behind a slow group but you’ll find that at any golf course in America. The layout was awesome, conditions were nearly perfect. Greens were punched a week ago and weren’t quite healed all the way but still ran fast and true. Apparently the greenskeepers wife beat on him the night before because some of the pin locations were insane but not unfair. I will be back as often as I can.

The starter wasn’t doing his job. That’s the second time that has happened

This was my second time playing, but I brought a few buddies that had never played here before.We drove an hour and a half, for a 9:24am tee time. It was worth it!!!!
When you get done with your round, go have lunch in Knickers, and ask for Joe!!
Great Americans!!!
We are gonna make this a regular thing!!!

Always a fun round! Elevation changes, water and vistas!

First time making it to Mission inn and it was definitely worth the trip! It took!an hour and 15 from NSB and boy was it worth it!. We played the El Campeon in just ober 3 hours and it was fantastic. Playing so fast we decided to check out Las Colinas and it was great also. 2 beautiful courses in the same place is amazing.!

I've always wanted to play Mission Inn and after photographing a couple of rounds of the Symetra Tour stop there, I had to make it happen. This course will challenge you on almost every shot and I didn't have a problem with that. The elevation changes make even a simple 100-yard wedge shot a bit more difficult. For me as a photographer, I was really taken in by how visually impressive the layout is. There are some tight holes and you might want to re-think hitting the driver, but then there are plenty of changes to "grip it and rip it". The greens were fast and more of a challenge than I'm used to as I'm not proficient at reading greens without a lot of undulations.
I can't think of anything negative about the course, it was amazing. I only wish I could have uploaded more photos!

Loved everything about this course. Will definitely go back.
