Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course

As someone who loves the game as much as i do. It is heartbreaking to see such an amazing golf course neglected as badly as this one has been. I still enjoyed my round, but found myself imagining what the place must have looked like in years past. I heard the golf course is under new management, and really hope they can bring it back to what it deserves to be.

Was really looking forward to enjoying this highly rated course by golf magazines, however, was extremely disappointed.
First of all, the conditions on the tee boxes and greens were poor with bare spots.
Secondly, the pace of play was abysmal, without any rangers in sight to speed up the pace. A 5 hour 15 minute round of golf, with waiting on every hole is totally unacceptable.
Thirdly, the restrooms at the clubhouse were very dirty and foul-smelling.
The nail in the coffin is that they're charging a price of $145 for this experience. 😳

This is a must play a Resort Course. Highly recommend it for advance players.

Played following a downpour so course a bit soggy. We only play the Mission inn courses about once per year while on vacation. We felt like it was not up to a level that we had seen in the past ( same time of year). Fairways were not as lush, and had some bare areas. Greens were rolling okay but coloration a bit mottled. Bunkers were clean and mostly raked. Would have been disappointed if we had paid rack rate; Hot Deal made for a fair price IMO. Cart guys always very nice!
We will be back and hopefully things will be better.

Played on a buddies trip. Flew into SFB. Course is a little bit more away from the tourist attractions. Grill had a good selection for lunch but was a little pricey considering it was $9 for a hot dog and some house made chips. Course was in overall good shape. Some bare or thin grass areas. Layout presents challenges to all skill levels and is provided elevation changes not typically associated with Florida golf. No pace of play issues experienced by our group.

I’ve played this course many times but this was the worst experience I’ve had. Played on a Saturday which s typically busier than during the weekdays, however, it took 3 hours and 20 minutes to play nine holes. Call the pro shop at 5 to get the marshal out there to get the pace moving and didn’t make any difference. Needless to say, we quit at 9 or we would have spend 7 hours to play 18 holes. Told the Pro our experience while heading to the grill and he didn’t seem to care since he didn’t offer any apologies or even a rain check for 9 holes. You would think paying $150 for a round, your experience would be pleasurable but. Not a Mission Inn. Golfers beware.

Nice course. Only hills in florida. Not for beginners.

Our fav 3 holes at Mission Inn Las Colinas are 12, 13, 14. Amen corner.
#12 is super tight par 5 , woods have been cleaned out on the right, so if you fade it in there, not only can you find it, but make a play to the green with a shot that bends around. All putts on this green are makeable, as they roll fast and true. 13 is longish par 5, tee shot wide open so bang it out there. The green can not be reached on 2nd shot, but the landing area is much grassier than it was 6 months ago, and the good approach shot here still finds you with a tough putt!
#14 is the most challenging hole at Mission Inn. The new owners have rerouted the cart path, and grown a buncha fairway grass. . This uphill, dog leg left, then downhill approach has to be played to appreciate it, and is what golf is all about. The green is fast, and a downhill putt can be treacherous.
We had a super fun time today.A little pricey but worth it

Unfortunately, we were paired with another golfer who paid 50% less than we did.
It left a a bad taste in our mouths.

This is one of my favorite courses however there were a few tee boxes that need some help and some that were being resodded otherwise the course is awesome.
