Tournament Rounds are being played on the El Capeon Course. Mission Inn has played host to the previous three High School championships. With it's spectacular views and 85 feet of elevation changes, the El Campeon course is a true test of accuracy and poise. Built in 1917 by George O'Neil, this parkland design will prove to be a challenge with it's rolling fairways and undulating greens. The 7,000 yards of green grass can be very rewarding to the player that can keep the ball in the fairways. A sound strategy is need to successfully maneuver around this Central Florida track.
