Real Novo Sancti Petri Centro sits inland from the beach of La Barrosa in Chiclana de la Frontera, one of two 18-hole courses at a club that earned its Royal title in 2016. It was inaugurated on 12 December 1990 by Severiano Ballesteros himself, in a ceremony attended by Spanish royalty, and stands as the legendary Spaniard's first golf course design in Spain.
Centro is the more inland and classically balanced of the resort's two layouts, a true par 72 split evenly between six par-3s, six par-4s and six par-5s, set across gently undulating ground with clear Atlantic views. Trees line several fairways and demand real accuracy, and Seve's fingerprints are unmistakable throughout, right down to the 18th, where an S-shaped bunker stands as his signature. Strategic rather than brutal, it rewards good course management over raw power.
The clubhouse, driving range, academy and practice facilities are all well maintained and professionally run, and recent visitors have rated the course itself in excellent condition. For golfers who want to play a genuine piece of Seve Ballesteros's legacy, this is one of the most significant rounds on the Costa de la Luz.
