Mission Resort and Club  

Set lakeside in the rolling hills of Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida, about 35 minutes from Orlando and area theme parks. Minutes from Lake Dora and Lakeridge Winery, the resort sits amid orange groves, ancient oaks and scenic trails. Family-friendly and pet-friendly, it’s a getaway for golfers, anglers and nature lovers.

This historic-style resort spans 1,100 acres and offers 176 rooms including club suites and one- to three-bedroom options. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, safes, desks and complimentary wired and wireless internet to keep you connected. Verdant paths, classic resort architecture and championship golf views set a relaxed, slightly nostalgic vibe.

Play two championship 18-hole golf courses or try skeet & clay shooting. Unwind at the 6,000 sq ft full-service spa, soak in the outdoor pool and jacuzzi, or hit the tennis courts and fitness center. Rent a pontoon or bass boat with poles and tackle included, browse gift shops, or let the kids loose in the arcade/game room. Wake up to lake-breeze mornings and round out days with poolside cocktails and live recreation.

A 30,000 sq ft conference center with 12 meeting rooms and audiovisual equipment handles big events and meetings. There’s a business center plus complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet throughout public areas. Event catering, dry cleaning and valet parking are available.

Choose from multiple on-site restaurants including El Conquistador and Nicker’s Clubhouse, plus a poolside bar and two lounges. Buffet breakfast is served daily (fee applies) and limited room service is offered. Expect classic resort dining to fuel long days on the course or on the lake.
