With an investment of over 3 million
dollars, The Fairmont Pierre Marques Golf Course has finalized the last
phase of an extensive renovation program, supervised by world-renowned
golf designer Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Improvements to the course include: the
installation of Seashore Paspalum grass, the expansion and contouring of
lakes, and the installation of a world-class, double ended practice
facility. This new design reflects the Jones' legacy and offers players
a renewed challenge steps away from the Pacific Ocean.
Originally designed by Percy Clifford, the course was remodeled by
Robert Trent Jones Sr. for the 1982 World Cup Championship. With the
redesign of 65 sand bunkers, and 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.
Located next to each other, Fairmont Hotels
& Resorts offers two professional golf courses in Acapulco, Mexico. For
your convenience, the hotel provides complimentary shuttle service to
and from both golf courses.
Important notice: During the month of
August, 2006 the Acapulco Princess Golf Course will be closed for its
annual maintenance program and the upgrading of geens with Paspalum
grass. During this time the Pierre Marques couse will be open and
operating under regular hours.
