Iberostar Golf Novo Sancti Petri, officially Real Novo Sancti Petri Golf Club, is one of the standout golf venues on Spain’s Costa de la Luz. Set beside La Barrosa Beach in Chiclana de la Frontera, the club offers two 18-hole, par-72 courses designed by Severiano Ballesteros, combining Atlantic views, umbrella pines, water hazards and strategic golf in a relatively flat and walkable setting.

The headline layout is Course A – Mar y Pinos, measuring up to 6,460 metres. As its name suggests, the course has two very different personalities. The opening nine are more open and exposed to the Atlantic breeze, with water regularly influencing shot selection. The iconic par-four 6th runs beside La Barrosa Beach and provides one of the most memorable sea views on the course. The back nine then move into mature pine woodland, where the fairways tighten and accuracy becomes increasingly important.

Course B – Centro measures approximately 6,041 metres and provides a more technical alternative. Undulating greens, strategically positioned bunkers and water hazards encourage golfers to think carefully about angles and club selection. It is an excellent companion to Mar y Pinos, giving groups two contrasting rounds without needing to leave the resort area.

Practice facilities are particularly impressive. The club has a six-hectare practice area with around 110 hitting positions, nine par-three practice holes and numerous putting and chipping areas. PGA tuition is available through the golf academy, while the clubhouse includes a pro shop, restaurant, cafés and terraces. Buggies, trolleys and rental clubs can also be arranged.

The location makes Novo Sancti Petri especially attractive for a dedicated golf holiday. Iberostar Waves Royal Andalus and Iberostar Selection Andalucía Playa are only around a five-minute walk away, with complimentary shuttle services available between the hotels and golf facilities.

We recommend Iberostar Golf Novo Sancti Petri for golfers looking for multiple championship rounds, genuine Seve Ballesteros design character and easy access to the beach and resort facilities. The combination of the open Atlantic holes on Mar y Pinos and the more strategic Centro layout gives enough variety for several rounds during the same stay.
