Las Colinas at Mission Inn Resort

Las Colinas, a centerpiece of the Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida, bears the distinction of weaving through the rolling hills of Central Florida's citrus country—a stark contrast to the state's typically flat landscape. Its design, a modified links-style layout, favors strategic play over sheer power. This is a course that rewards thoughtful approaches and deft touch around the greens, penalizing the wayward more readily than the merely aggressive.

Designed by Gary Koch, a six-time PGA Tour winner turned broadcaster, Las Colinas reflects a modern sensibility with a keen eye toward playability for golfers of all skill levels. While not a championship venue that’s regularly hosted nationally televised events, it has become a favorite among resort guests and local players alike. Its undulating fairways and cleverly placed bunkers demand careful consideration on every shot.

Beyond the course itself, Las Colinas is known for its social atmosphere, with a large percentage of its play coming from members and resort guests. Post-round gatherings are common on the patio overlooking the 18th green, often featuring the club's beloved cuban sandwich. It is a great complement to it’s brother course El Campeón.
