Golf in autumn at Sancti Petri Hills: old friends, the trolley and hole 1

Golf in autumn has something that hooks you, and at Sancti Petri Hills we say it plainly: “autumn has a very special magic on our course”. The usual group of friends, the trolley ready and hole 1 waiting. That is how a seasonal round begins in the heart of Chiclana.

A very special magic in the heart of Chiclana

We confess: we have a crush on this season. One look at the course is enough to understand why. The sky turns pink over the stone pines, the lake reflects the green and the white flag stands out against the pine forest. This is golf in autumn as we live it here, no filters and no rush.

Sancti Petri Hills Golf sits on the upper part of La Barrosa beach, in Chiclana de la Frontera, next to Novo Sancti Petri. It has 18 holes and a par 68 designed by Manuel Piñero: a short but technical course, with fairways lined by pine trees and fast greens guarded by lakes. If you want to know the layout better, we tell you all about it on our course page.

Some rituals never change. The group meets next to the hole 1 sign, each with their trolley and bag; one already has the driver in hand while another finishes sorting the clubs, and the buggy waits nearby in case someone would rather not walk. That moment before the first tee shot is as much a part of golf in autumn as the swing itself.

“Autumn at Sancti Petri Hills tastes of tradition”, and this is why we say it: the rounds with the usual crowd and the habit of meeting up at the weekend to head out on the course.
