Novo Sancti Petri Centro runs along the Atlantic Ocean with a varied and unusual mix of 6 par-3 holes, 6 par-4 holes and 6 par-5 holes.

The first 9 holes are largely flat, with a large water hazard between holes number 5, 8 and 9.

From the 10th to the 13th hole, the ground is slightly undulating, offering some excellent views over the Atlantic. Water again comes into play between the 10th and 13th hole.

On the 18th, the designer of the course has immortalised himself by leaving a bunker in the shape of an "S" for Seve.
