Golf Overview

The Fairmont Acapulco Princess and The Fairmont Pierre Marques offer two of the most enjoyable golf experiences in all of Mexico. Designed by Ted Robinson, the Fairmont Acapulco Princess Golf Course is a pleasant lay-out that is punctuated by narrow fairways, lined by coconut palms and water hazards on 12 of the 18 holes. Included in Golf Digest's Top 25 Golf Resorts, the Princess Course's featured hole is the 18th, a dog-leg par 4 around a large lake, leaving a second shot that appears suspended in space over the unique pyramid structure of the hotel.

Originally designed by Percy Clifford, the Fairmont Pierre Marques Golf Course was re-modeled by Robert Trent Jones Sr. for the 1982 World Cup Championship. With the redesign of 65 sand bunkers, and an additional 300 yards in length, Jones placed a premium on accuracy from the tee, and precise shots into the well guarded greens. As testament to the challenge created, the winning individual score for the tournament was just 3 under par.

Golf Courses

Fairmont Acapulco Princess Golf  Course

Architect:  Ted Robinson
Description:
The course plays to just under 6400 yards from the Championship tees, the challenge is real enough as half of the holes have water hazards on one side, and out of bounds on the other! 'Sneaky tough' is an apt description to the challenge offered by this gem of a course.

Fairmont Pierre Marques Golf Course

Architects:  Percy Clifford &
Robert Trent Jones Sr.
Description:
The feature hole, #17 is a mere 142 yards from the championship tees, but into the prevailing wind can sometimes play 3 clubs longer. With a full carry over water to a small green surrounded by sand traps, and featuring some wild contours to the three distinct landing areas provided by RTJ, coming away with par is just fine for most folks.

As important as flavor, however, is ambiance.
