Where championship design meets breathtaking scenery
Bulgaria offers a rare blend of coastal and mountain golf, with four standout courses that combine world-class design, scenic backdrops and superb value:
Thracian Cliffs Golf Course Location: Cape Kaliakra, Black Sea Coast | Par: 72 | Designer: Gary Player | Opened: 2011 Ranked the no.1 golf course in Bulgaria and 43rd in Europe by Top 100 Golf Courses
Carved into sheer white cliffs that drop dramatically into the Black Sea, Thracian Cliffs Signature Course is widely considered one of Europe’s most spectacular courses. Every hole offers panoramic ocean views, with the signature par-3 6th playing over a cliff-edge cove that has become iconic worldwide. The layout is challenging but unforgettable, making it a bucket-list experience for adventurous golfers seeking high drama and a true test of skill.
BlackSeaRama Golf Course Location: Balchik, Black Sea Coast | Par: 72 | Designer: Gary Player | Opened: 2008 Ranked the no.2 golf course in Bulgaria by Top 100 Golf Courses
BlackSeaRama delivers a refined links-style experience on elevated ground overlooking the coast. Its wide fairways, rolling terrain and strategic bunkering make it a thinking golfer’s course, rewarding accuracy and course management. The combination of smooth greens, open sea views and a luxurious clubhouse creates a relaxed yet premium atmosphere that keeps groups returning year after year.
Lighthouse Golf Course Location: Cape Kaliakra, Black Sea Coast | Par: 71 | Designer: Ian Woosnam | Opened: 2011 Ranked the no.3 golf course in Bulgaria by Top 100 Golf Courses
Designed with playability in mind, Lighthouse is a welcoming resort course ideal for mixed-ability groups and leisurely holiday rounds. Broad fairways, well-positioned bunkers and gentle elevation changes offer a fun challenge without punishing higher-handicap golfers. Set within a modern resort complex, it’s perfect for golfers looking to blend enjoyable rounds with easy access to spa and leisure facilities.
Pirin Golf & Country Club Location: Bansko region, Pirin Mountains | Par: 72 | Designer: Ian Woosnam | Opened: 2001 Ranked the no.4 golf course in Bulgaria by Top 100 Golf Courses
Set beneath the towering peaks of the Pirin Mountains, this championship course offers a completely different Bulgarian golf experience. Expect alpine scenery, lush fairways, and crystal-clear mountain air, with water features and tree-lined holes adding variety throughout. The cooler climate makes Pirin Golf especially enjoyable in midsummer, and its tranquil setting appeals to golfers who love nature as much as a well-crafted layout.
