This Ballesteros design, his first in Spain, is firm proof that
golf in Andalucía is spreading westwards. Lying along the
Atlantic coastline near Chiclana and Jerez the course faces four
kilometres of virgin beach adjacent to the spectacular Royal Andalus
Golf Hotel. An American style layout it is long and spacious, four
lakes provide hazards at eight holes and with over one thousand
trees it is not short of shade. Novo Sancti Petri, boasting that
"Severiano knew what he was doing", forms 3 loops of nine
holes, starting and finishing at the clubhouse. With a wide variety
of sporting facilities including horseriding, football and tennis,
the club is very popular and has played host to the 1990 Codorniú
Spanish Professional Championship won by Santiago Luna, and the
1993 Turespaña Masters Open de Andalucía won by Andrew
Oldcorn.
