The MISSION INN Golf Experience
What makes for great golf in Central Florida?
You might picture fast green, well manicured fairways, year round playability, and rolling hills. Yes! 85 ft. hills if you are at Mission Inn Resort just north of Orlando.
Mission Inn, nestled among the citrus groves along the Harris chain of lakes, features two of the finest golf courses in Florida – El Campeon and Las Colinas.
One of Florida’s oldest and most admired courses in Florida, El Campeon golf course opened in 1917 with the first grass greens instead of oiled sand. The layout is a classic design yet relevant to today’s’ golfers and modern equipment advantages at 7,100 yards in length. Featuring 85 ft. elevation changes over 6 hole and fairways lined with mature oaks and magnolias, the George O’Neil layout tests a players shot making abilities over all 18 holes. Her sibling course, Las Colinas designed by Gary Koch in 1992, plays 7230 yards upland thru evergreen forests and more rolling hills among Florida’s undisturbed nature preserves.
Both courses have earned accolades from regular and pro players alike. Top 50 US rankings on the Golf Advisor.com have Campeon nationally as #13 and #2 in Florida. Las Colinas is consistently ranked in the top 25 Florida’s courses by Golf Week and Golf Advisor.
Who plays here may best represent the course quality. Both the Latin America and Mackenzie Canadian tours currently utilize El Campeon for their Q school pro qualifiers. The US Amateur Sectionals are hosted here along with 16 collegiate events, and the Florida high school championships.
Besides competitive golf, Mission Inn offers overnight lodging (176 rooms), four on-site restaurants, a full service health spa, 52 slip marina, world class bass fishing on Lake Harris, trap & skeet, and conference and event space.
Interested guests can choose from a various golf getaway packages for couples, buddy groups, and organizations looking for a complete destination resort.
