This resort is located in the scenic rolling hills of Howey-in-the-Hills, 35 minutes away from Central Orlando. It has a historic charm that is a favorite among golf enthusiasts for its award-winning golf courses, overlooking its potential for the ultimate family golf vacation.

Here’s your guide to planning the best family golf vacation at Mission Resort & Club.

Golf for Every Generation

One of the highlights of every golf trip is the chance to tee off the greens, and at Mission Resort & Club, this means conquering two of America’s most renowned historical golf courses, El Campeon and Las Colinas:

  • The iconic El Campeon is an 18-hole course designed by George O’Neil in 1917. As a historic landscape graced by PGA legends, it is known for its dramatic elevation changes, rolling terrain, and classic shot-making design, which is rare in the great Florida landscape. This course is ideal for those with advanced proficiency in golf and it poses a challenge that will amp up your adrenaline.
  • For younger or newer players, Las Colinas is an 18-hole course that encourages beginners to be better golfers. This Gary Koch course features wide, open fairways, forgiving greens, and a gentler layout, perfect for honing your young ones’ skills. It’s an ideal course for mixed-skill family groups who want to enjoy their tee time without pressure.

Family-Friendly Accommodation and Amenities

Mission Resort & Club boasts rooms inspired by Spanish Colonial architecture that offer space and flexibility with larger groups and families in mind. The resort’s villas are specially created for family bonding and include the following amenities: high-speed internet, data port, hair dryer, in-room safe, coffee maker, Gilchrist & Soames bath products, beverage cooler, and cribs for your toddlers that are available upon request. It is important to note that Mission Resort & Club is a pet-friendly destination. However, it may incur additional fees.

Mission Resort offers a wide range of accommodations that recreate the feeling of a home away from home.
