Designed by Ted Robinson, this pleasant layout 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.  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.

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.
