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.
