El Campeon Golf Course

Opened in 1917, El Campeón (“The Champion”) is one of the South’s vintage 18-hole golf courses. An original member of the 53-course Florida Historic Golf Trail, El Campeón showcases classic golf course design as well as sharp elevation changes unique to the Central Florida region.  Surrounded by an abundance of natural Florida beauty, the El Campeón 18-hole championship course was originally designed and built by Chicago-based course architect, George O’Neil and  further enhancements were made in 1926 by Charles E. Clarke of Troon, Scotland.

It has been the site of numerous junior, collegiate and professional events throughout its storied history, including the Class 1A, 2A and 3A Florida High School Golf State Championships held in 2019.   On the books for 2020 were PGA Tour qualifying events for the PGA TOUR Latinoamerica in January and Mackenzie Tour in March.
