Some days don’t end on the 18th hole, but around a good table. At Sancti Petri Hills Golf that table has a name: La Cabaña de Cecilón, the club’s rice restaurant, with its terrace looking out over the course. Golf in the morning, a glass of chilled wine and a rice dish in the middle of the table. The plan really is that simple.
A rice restaurant right off the 18th hole
You finish your round, sign your card and a few steps later you’re sitting down. La Cabaña de Cecilón is designed for exactly that moment, when you’re still talking about the putt that didn’t drop and the drive that went just where you wanted. No need to get in the car or go anywhere else: the day carries on at the same club.
The terrace is what makes the difference. From your table you see the green of the fairways and the pine trees lining them, the same landscape you’ve just walked with your clubs. Eating with the course as a backdrop has something you won’t find in a restaurant in town.
Rice dishes are the house speciality
Here, rice rules. On the La Cabaña de Cecilón menu you’ll find seafood rice, free-range chicken rice, pork cheek rice, oxtail rice, Iberian pork rice and a gratinated black rice with aioli, plus dishes from the wood-fired oven. These are rice dishes for sharing, the kind served in the paella pan and finished by scraping the crispy bottom.
If you’re not in the mood for rice today, there are also salads and tapas to nibble on the terrace. And if you stay on, in the evenings the kitchen switches style and goes Italian: pizzas, lasagnes and roasts, all cooked over wood.
Golf, wine and rice: the pairing the Costa de la Luz calls for
The combination works because you enjoy both without rushing. A round on a technical par 68 like ours, designed by Manuel Piñero, demands focus and precision for 18 holes; the long lunch at La Cabaña de Cecilón is the reward. A cold white, a seafood rice and the La Barrosa breeze drifting across the terrace.
If you’re visiting from elsewhere, the plan completes itself: Chiclana has beaches, great weather and plenty going on. The Chiclana de la Frontera tourism website has ideas for the rest of your day. And if you’d like to know more about our after-golf tradition, we tell you all about it in our post on the 19th hole at Sancti Petri Hills.
