There is one hole every golfer looks forward to with special excitement: the 19th hole Chiclana. It is not on the scorecard and has no par or handicap, but it offers something the other eighteen cannot: good food, good company and the genuine taste of Cádiz cooking. At Sancti Petri Hills Golf, the 19th hole is our terrace and restaurant, the place where the round takes on its true meaning.
What is the 19th hole?
In the golf world, the 19th hole is the affectionate name players give to the club bar or restaurant. It is where, once the round is over, you go over your best shots, get over your worst putts and celebrate the birdies of the day. At Sancti Petri Hills, the 19th hole Chiclana goes far beyond a simple café: it is a food experience that complements and lifts every visit to the course.
The open, bright terrace has superb views over the course. While you enjoy a local dish, you can watch the last groups finishing their rounds or simply take in the scenery of the 19th hole Chiclana, surrounded by the Mediterranean vegetation so typical of Sancti Petri Hills. A combination that is hard to beat at any golf destination in the province.
Food at the 19th hole at Sancti Petri Hills
The menu at the 19th hole Chiclana focuses on local produce.

It is one of those dishes that turn a stop at the 19th hole into a compelling reason to come back to the course.
Alongside the rice, the menu offers dishes typical of the Bay of Cádiz: seafood, fresh fish, seasonal salads and a selection of wines from the region’s bodegas.
