Golf in Bulgaria

Bulgaria was IAGTO’s “Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year 2012. It’s not difficult to see why – golf in Bulgaria is found in its two dramatic & contrasting golf regions, one the ever-popular Black Sea Coast and the other, Bulgaria’s cosmopolitan capital, Sofia, 6 world-class courses (and possibly more), top-quality resorts and a general curiosity that leads travellers to a country that has had it all but is now surely and steadily finding its feet as a golf travel destination.

Varna & around, in the Black Sea coast, is home to the Ian Woosnam designed Lighthouse Golf Resort, and Gary Player’s exceptional courses, BlackSeaRama and Thracian Cliffs. All three courses are perfect for stay and play with choice of villas, hotels or apartments encouraging longer luxurious breaks. In Sofia & surrounding areas, Pirin Golf & Country Club, Pravets and St.Sofia also have big-name designers and excellent facilities.

There's more than just golf in Bulgaria though, there are plenty of short trips you can make from Sofia after absorbing its heady energy, its landmark churches and museums. The UNESCO heritage site of Rila monastery is one, and Plovdiv and Koprivshtitsa, for history preserved in their beautiful architecture. If the stunning setting of the Black Sea Coast itself is not enough, there’s exciting Varna and ancient history in Nesebar.
