Novo Sancti Petri is the first golf course in Spain that was designed by Severiano Ballesteros. The opening of the first 27 holes took place in 1990. The remaining 9 holes were ready in April, 2001. Water hazards, pine, olive and cork trees, juniper berry shrubs, bunkers, and a sea breeze, all add to the beauty and difficulty of the game and a vast array of different plant species such as wild orchids have found their place here.
