Course Description

Depuis le 1er janvier 2012, l'ex Méridien Président est officiellement devenu le KING FAHD PALACE. Ce changement de nom marque une nouvelle étape dans l'histoire de ce joyau dont la gestion incombe dorénavant à la Société Hôtelière Africaine. L'expérience dans le domaine et les relations extérieures ne sont plus à démontrer.De fait, nous avons quitté une marque globale qui a une réputation mondiale pour une marque indépendante ne faisant pas partie d'un groupe international. Ainsi, il s'agira par là, pour cette nouvelle gestion de faire oublier la marque « Méridien Président » au profit d'une nouvelle identité qui sera le point de départ d'une nouvelle histoire. Tout cela sans risquer de déstabiliser la clientèle de l'Hôtel. C'est là où se situe tout l'intérêt de la nouvelle stratégie marketing qu'il faudra mettre en œuvre très rapidement dans le but de faire connaître la marque à un public plus large.Nos Clients • les particuliers• Les Entreprises (Locales, multinationales, équipages Compagnies Aériens, ONG etc)• les institutions (Etat et gouvernements, Organisations Internationales banques centrales etc) Notre Vision: Devenir et demeurer le premier établissement hôtelier au Sénégal, dans l'espace CEDEAO et en AfriqueNos Valeurs• Le culte de l'excellence• Le souci de bien servir • Le devoir d'éthique et de transparence

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Compact

How difficult is Compact for mid-handicap golfers?

From a scoring perspective, Compact challenges consistency. The 120 slope rating keeps it accessible for developing players. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 18.

What tees should a 15 handicap play at Compact?

A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6000 yards. The back tees extend to 6500 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.

What is considered a good score at Compact?

With a course rating of 70 and par 18, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 18 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

How long is Compact and how does yardage affect play?

At a full length of 6500 yards, it balances distance with positional strategy.

What type of course is Compact and how should I play it?

Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.

What features make Compact strategically challenging?

The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
