Excellent layout- old style Florida golf- classic design except for #17. Pace of play was pitiful , especially on back nine. As usual, no ranger around to improve pace. Greens were OK condition wise but turf in fairways was below average , even with the overseed.

Fabulous

We played Las Colinas a few months ago and decided to return to Mission Inn the day after Christmas to play El Campeon. We drove and hour, and expected a full course.

Pace of play was spot on — never waited, and never pushed.

The course was in great condition tee to green, and the hills provided some challenges you don’t often get in central Florida, and some great views too.

Definitely worth the drive — we’ll be back!

Unexpectedly sandy greens

Mission Inn’s El Campeon is one of my favorite courses in the Orlando area. It’s well-worth the drive out to it. Great layout, consistent conditions, a good variety of holes, always get paired up with great people. My only complaint this trip was that the greens were extremely top-dressed with sand and no warning was given. It did not always seriously affect the greens’ smoothness, but there definitely were times that it did. It was also difficult to gauge the speed from green to green. I was disappointed that I paid $70 for greens that were not consistent. A warning next time would be appreciated.

Best Course in Central Florida!

My son and I have played 43 courses this year and El Campeon is truly the champion. Stunning vistas, amazing elevation, beautiful landscaping, surrounded by stunning architecture. What a gem! A must play by anyone who loves the game.

Must Play

El Campeon is one of the courses that you can play in Central Florida. If you think that you have game and want something different from the flat, water and bunker courses in the area, play it! The elevation changes trees and dogleg are challenging. Course conditions are very good. The only complaint was pace of play. The foursome ahead of me took 4 hrs and 45 minutes to complete the round.

Well Maintained

Course had some wet areas, and areas under repair. Otherwise, great shape with fantastic greens and maintained bunkers. A great place for hot deals.

Fun layout avg. condition. Not worth a return trip

Fun layout, average condition. Slow play. Not worth a return trip. The course itself is a fun layout, the condition was worse than what we were expecting. Had issue with Golfnow and the staff that took awhile to resolve. Sounds like the staff were being turds about it.

Tough course but worth it

Always love playing El Campeon. We have a love-hate relationship love the course and layout hate the way I play it. Greens were fast and amazing but pace of play was slow. Probably due to the windy conditions and tough course. Overall a must play if you are in town
