MISSION INN GOLF RESORT - EL CAMPEON
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, FL
Built in 1926, Mission Inn's El Campeon, "The Champion," is one of the south's oldest and most historical, prestigious golf courses. Architect Captain Charles Clarke of Troon, Scotland, blended unusual elevation changes of more than 85 feet with features of traditional golf design. Rolling fairways (some dramatic), undulating greens and well-placed berms, bunkers and sandy waste areas, as well as water on 11 holes, all only begin to characterize the aura of El Campeon. Just rated 4 stars by Golf Digest's "Best Places To Play, 2008/2009." You can't miss the Spanish-style resort inn/ hotel in the background. 'Championship Golf' at Mission Inn... always a challenge, always inviting, and always memorable. An easy 35-40 minute drive from most Orlando areas, and always well worth the drive!
Added-value: Complimentary draft beer/ soft drink (with 18 holes) or complimentary LUNCH and draft beer/ soft drink included with 36 holes at Nicker's Restaurant (in the clubhouse).

05/03/2010 - The layout was great. Posted by James (, )
01/30/2010 - A beautiful course -- although the recent freeze hurt the greens. Worth the trip. Next time we'll play it twice. Posted by David (Levittown, NY)
12/28/2009 - Truly one of the best in FL. Posted by David (Princeton, NJ)

05/09/2009 - Best course we played - well worth the trip Posted by Brad (Norland, ON)
03/31/2009 - Beautiful old course. It was almost an hour from Orlando but we all enjoyed this course. Would have liked a GPS system on the carts. Posted by Richard (Syosset, NY)
03/30/2009 - This was the first time we added this course to our rotation(we come every year for a week) and was not disappointed. It is a bit of a ride, but well worth it. Great golfing experience. Posted by Frank (Rehoboth, MA)
03/30/2009 - Great course and conditions Posted by Roger (Assonet, MA)
03/24/2009 - I love the elevation changes. The last 4 holes are among the best finishing holes I have ever played. Posted by Michael (Glencoe, IL)
03/16/2009 - Driving range could be improved, putting green was very good. Course in very nice and historical but priced a little on the high side for overall value Posted by Grady (Hernando, FL)
