Signature Course

at Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort

The Thracian Cliffs Golf Course is a masterpiece of golf architecture and one of the most visually striking layouts in the world. Designed by Gary Player, it winds dramatically along the cliffs of Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, where every hole offers panoramic sea views and thrilling shot-making opportunities.

Accepted into the prestigious collection of Leading Golf Courses Europe in 2014, Thracian Cliffs Golf Resort achieved global recognition after hosting the 2013 Volvo World Match Play Championship, which showcased its unique setting to an international audience.

Ranked 43rd in Europe with Top 100 Golf Courses, this par-71, 6,840-yard championship course combines breathtaking beauty with serious challenge. Its clifftop fairways, deep ravines, and dramatic elevation changes demand precision from tee to green, while the coastal winds and spectacular backdrops make every round both exhilarating and unforgettable. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a passionate visitor, Thracian Cliffs promises a once-in-a-lifetime golf experience.

Signature Holes

• Hole 6 – “The Icon” One of the most photographed par-3s in the world, this dramatic hole is carved directly into the cliffs, with the green set far below the tee and the Black Sea crashing against the rocks beneath. It’s a breathtaking test of nerve, accuracy, and club selection.

• Hole 7 – “The Cape” A stunning risk-reward par-4 that sweeps along the coastline. Big hitters can challenge the carry over the bay, while those playing safe can lay up to the fairway before a demanding approach shot to a narrow green framed by sea views.

• Hole 18 – “The Amphitheatre” The finishing hole rises toward the clubhouse with the Black Sea as a backdrop. Its sweeping fairway and elevated green provide the perfect stage for a dramatic finale to a truly world-class round.
