GOLF:

Play a Top 50 U.S. course on Golf Advisor – El Campeon (#2).

There are two championship courses at Mission Inn that provide exceptional challenge and play. The golf experience is truly remarkable from the scenery—hills that roll and pitch, mature pine and magnolia trees that tower, eagles and ospreys that fly overhead. The terrain of this part of Central Florida, originally orange groves, provides up to 85 ft. elevation changes and a peaceful ambiance void of fairway houses and condos.

Spend the day challenging one of Florida’s oldest course, El Campeón known for his steep hills and required shotmaking skills or play among the rolling hills and sweeping fairways of the Las Colinas Course. Both are quality 18-hole championship courses that have earned their share of accolades from members and resort guests alike. Come and stay over as a resort guest on specially designed golf packages or drive in with your friends for a remarkable 36 holes of golf and lunch at Nicker’s restaurant!

Golfers looking to hone their skills can practice on the oversized golf range, large putting green or chipping areas or enroll in one of three on-site golf schools. Our professional, friendly staff is at the ready and knowledgeable PGA professionals are available to help lower your score and there is even a strength and conditioning coach available to you with advanced reservations. We encourage you to take advantage of one of our various golf packages tailored for a memorable stay-and-play experience.

After your round, explore our extensive pro shop; relax at Nicker’s, our clubhouse pub and restaurant, or maybe indulge at Spa Marbella .
