The Mar y Pinos course at Real Novo Sancti Petri offers a scenic and varied test along the Costa de la Luz. Designed by Seve Ballesteros and part of his first project in Spain, this par-72 layout blends coastal holes with stretches through pine woodland. Several fairways run close to La Barrosa beach, where Atlantic views and sea breezes add both challenge and character.

While relatively forgiving from the tee, well-placed bunkers and undulating greens demand a controlled approach. The routing reflects Seve’s creative style, rewarding imagination as much as accuracy. For those planning a golf break in southern Spain, it provides a balanced and enjoyable championship experience.
