Mission Inn Resort Has New Owners, But Provides the Same Quality Experience By Len Ziehm Mission Inn Resort, one of Florida’s oldest golf resorts, is no stranger to hosting tournaments. The fourth playing of the Epson Tour’s Inova Mission Inn Resort & Club Championship is returning next month, but this time it’ll be different. In December, the Beucher family, who had owned the resort for 58 years, sold it to MMI Hotel Group, which has been owned by the Sturdevant family for 67 years. The family ownership aspect played a part in the sale and the Beuchers will continue to reside in the area, will remain as members of the club, plus will retain ownership of part of the property. MMI has deep roots in the Southeast, but its portfolio includes only one other golf facility, The King & Prince Beach and Golf Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia. “We’re a golf resort, and golf is critical to our success and always will be,’’ said Dominick Buompastore, MMI vice president of operations.
