In Acapulco, the Tres Vidas and Acapulco Princess golf courses, each with its own style, should be played. Their designers created spectacular settings that, because of the difficulty of their greens, have been the site of international tournaments.
Tres Vidas reopened in 1995 after being redesigned by Robert von Hagge, with his traditional and innumerable humps and fairways that lie along the sea. Ten lakes and an endless number of sand traps present the golfer with the challenge of always getting the ball down the center, with no hesitancy.
