El Campéon – originally known as “The Floridan” – was one of the first in the state to feature grass putting surfaces rather than the oiled-sand “greens” common a century ago. It was one of only two courses in the state built to what was then considered the “regulation” length of 6,300 yards and quickly became a hot spot for vacationers and top golfers. Among its early guests were Ben Hogan, Patty Berg, Babe Zaharias, Arnold Palmer and trick-shot artist Joe Kirkwood.
Christened “El Campéon” (“The Champion”) by the Beucher family when they bought the resort in 1964, this special piece of golf Americana has been modernized to current playing standards while still showcasing the area’s natural beauty.
Unique to central Florida are the 85 feet of elevation changes on six holes of former rolling citrus groves and hardwood forests. El Campéon exceeds most players’ expectations having been rated No. 2 nationally in the most recent Golf Advisor.com player surveys. It is a true example of historic class and current quality.
Mission Inn, a Spanish-colonial-inspired resort, is set amid orange groves in central Florida’s rolling hills and surrounded by lakes. The picturesque destination features four on-site restaurants, abundant event space, quiet courtyards and patios, El Campéon and its sister course, Las Colinas, tennis academy, Spa Marbella, lakefront marina, and nature trails.
