Mission Inn Resort in Howey In The Hills Florida.
MISSION INN RESORT
The longtime resort has been under the ownership of the Beucher family for 58 years.
The Beucher’s starting with Nick Beucher a native of Evanston Illinois, bought the property in 1964 and started making improvements from that point forward.
But more recently Bud Beucher and sister were operating the resort for the family. But the MMI leadership team will take over and the resort will be operated through their management division.
Mission Inn is home to the famed El Campeon Golf Course.
Mission Inn Resort and Club is home to a 500+ acre development, where new homes are being built.
The resort has 176 hotel rooms, two award winning golf courses, three restaurants, spa, and rooms with more than 30,000 sq. feet of event space.
“So as a family owned and operated business, this particular property caught our attention. So we’re grateful to have forged this relationship with a like-minded family business that shares many of the same values,” said President and CEO Micajah Sturdivant. “Because with the purchase of this cherished resort we hope to continue the legacy set forth in Lake County by the Beucher family by expanding on the unique attributes of Central Florida.”
Bud Beucher ran Mission Inn Resort for over 20 years.
MMI Hospitality Group has a portfolio that includes such properties as, The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort on St. Simons Island, Georgia.
Mission Inn has been hosting numerous golf tournaments on the El Campeon Course in recent years. Because of the championship calibur of the golf course these events will likely continue.
But currently there is no word on whether the resort will continue to host it’s LPGA Epson Tour event.
But MMI is promising to make property enhancements to the Mission Inn Resort starting early in 2023.
