Bulgaria: A Hidden Paradise for Golf Enthusiasts Conquering Europe
Cape Kaliakra: Three World-Class Courses in One Place
On the dramatic Cape Kaliakra, within a radius of just 6 kilometers, a trio of golf gems is concentrated, which could rival anything Europe has to offer. Views of the Black Sea, wild nature, and world-class architects – this is a combination that attracts golfers from across the continent.
Lighthouse Golf Resort – where golf meets art
Behind the design of this course stands Ian Woosnam, legendary Ryder Cup captain. It's no coincidence that Lighthouse has been a proud member of European Tour Properties since 2016. The "links" style course literally breathes naturalness – hills, narrow passages, and wind from the sea make every shot a small adventure. lighthousegolfresort.com
Thracian Cliffs – a course that takes your breath away before you even swing a club
Thracian Cliffs is not just a golf course. It's an experience that is hard to describe in words. The eighteen-hole Signature course by Gary Player winds 4.5 km along the cliff tops directly above the sea. Around you, the Kaliakra National Park in all its wild beauty, below you two white beaches and panoramic restaurants with a view you will remember for a lifetime.
The resort has repeatedly won the title of the best European golf resort – and it's no wonder. thraciancliffs.com
BlackSeaRama – Scottish character, Bulgarian sun
They say BlackSeaRama resembles Scotland. And they are right – with one crucial difference. While in Scotland you battle rain and fog, in BlackSeaRama you can expect over 260 sunny days a year. That's practically 10 perfect months of golf right on the Black Sea coast.
The course, designed by Gary Player, is located just 50 km from Varna – less than a two-hour flight from Prague or Vienna. "BlackSeaRama offers the best of Gary Player's style," said US Masters champion Angel Cabrera after playing all 18 holes. blacksearama.com

Pravets Golf Club – a challenge for everyone

The championship 18-hole course with a par of 72 has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments, and its backdrop – a hotel, a lake, and the surrounding mountains – creates a flawless panorama.

St. Sofia Golf Club – golf in the heart of the capital
Who says you have to travel far from the city for golf? St. Sofia Golf Club, opened in 2004, brought golf culture directly to the Bulgarian capital. After a complete reconstruction in 2012, in which famous Irish golfer Paul McGinley participated, Sofia joined the ranks of European capitals that offer their players truly world-class courses. stsofiagolf.com
Pirin Golf & Country Club – home to champions and beginners
