The Fairmont Acapulco Princess Golf Course

Overview: The Fairmont Acapulco Princess Golf Course is the Princess Golf Course in Mexico. The Fairmont Acapulco Princess Golf Course is a classic resort layout opposite the Princess Mundo Imperial hotel, with coconut palms, narrow fairways and water in play on many of the 18 holes. Its scale and setting are more traditional than the newer desert-and-ocean courses, but the tropical vegetation and the pyramid-shaped hotel create a distinctly Acapulco finish. The design credit at The Fairmont Acapulco Princess Golf Course goes to Ted Robinson. The published profile for The Fairmont Acapulco Princess Golf Course records a historic resort course with an official par 72, Ted Robinson design and visitor access through the Mundo Imperial hotel group.

History: Mundo Imperial identifies Ted Robinson as the designer and dates the Princess course to 1971. The course is part of the long history of Acapulco as a resort destination, and its sister layout, Turtle Dunes, was later added beside it. This directory row is the original Princess course, not Turtle Dunes.

Did You Know? The 18th is a dogleg par 4 around a large lake, with the second shot appearing to hang over the resort’s pyramid structure. The official pages differ on the current yardage, so the profile keeps par 72 but leaves yardage blank rather than choosing between conflicting figures.
