El Campeón, established in 1917, is one of the rare Florida courses that feature significant elevation changes (up to 85 feet), giving it a layout more reminiscent of courses in the Carolinas. The narrow fairways, water hazards, and strategic bunkering make it a true test of golf, rewarding shot-making and course management.
Mission Resort is home to two excellent golf courses:
- El Campeón – One of Florida’s oldest and most challenging courses, featuring dramatic elevation changes, undulating fairways, and tight greens that require accuracy and skill.
- Las Colinas – A more forgiving layout with wide fairways and picturesque rolling terrain, making it an enjoyable round for all skill levels.
Both courses provide a unique contrast in playing styles, making Mission Resort & Club a favorite among golf travelers.
As one of Florida's top golf resorts, Mission Resort has two championship courses. The golf experience is remarkable from the scenery – hills rolling and pitching, mature pine and magnolia trees towering, eagles and ospreys flying overhead. The terrain provides up to 85 ft. elevation changes and a peaceful ambiance void of fairway houses and condos. These are the golf courses you can play at Mission Resort:
- El Campeón Championship Course: Built in 1917 and designed by George O'Neil, this golf course is surrounded by natural Florida beauty. It's one of the South's oldest golf courses and blends unusual Central Florida elevation changes with features of traditional golf design, including breathtaking rolling fairways and undulating greens. The signature hole is the par 5, 17th hole, which features a long double dogleg that has more obstacles than some entire golf courses. El Campeón has garnered many national awards and is annually recognized as one of the top 25 golf courses in Florida. It's a challenge even for seasoned golfers.
- Las Colinas Championship Course: Designed by Gary Koch and built in 1992, this golf course offers quite a different challenge than El Campeón. It has an inland links design with generous, wide-open fairways, rolling hills, and large, undulating greens. The width of the fairways, the design of the extensive undulating greens, and the many tees at each hole give the course great versatility, meaning it's suitable for professional competitions. Still, it offers any player a pleasant, enjoyable, and affordable experience. Las Colinas was nominated by Golf Digest as "Best New Resort Course" upon opening.
In addition to golf, Mission Resort also offers several restaurants where you can dine with your friends or family in between golf rounds. Perhaps the most famous restaurant of the resort is El Conquistador, where you can have a memorable dining experience. Finally, the resort also has a spa, where you can relax after a rewarding golf round or at the end of the day.
