About Mission Resort- El Campeón Course

El Campeón, or “The Champion,” was built in 1917, making it one of the south’s oldest golf courses. It was designed by Chicago-based course architect, George O’Neil – with further enhancements in 1926 by Charles E. Clarke of Troon, Scotland. These designers took advantage of the natural rolling landscape to create a 7,003-yard monster with the highest elevation change (85 feet) of any course in the state. Consistently ranked in the Top 10 of Florida's 1,500 courses, rated with Zagat's America's Top Golf Courses, El Campeón was recently named Florida Course of the year by the National Golf Course Owners Association. The course's signature 17th hole, dubbed "Devil's Delight" by its admirers and detractors, is a par 5, 556-yard double dogleg with a green guarded by bunkers and a pond.
