TOUGH PLACE TO PLAY

Frank (Sodus Point, NY) says:
This is my favorite course and facility, but it is too difficult for some of the other golfers, so we will have to drop it from the rotation. A true gem of a place.

About Mission Inn Resort & Club - 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 range balls, putting & practice facility, club storage & cleaning, locker room access.
