Golf
Viewed as an elite pastime years ago, the game now covers not only variety of social backgrounds, but more important variety of ages too. To be a one’s entire life game is probably one of the biggest advantages of this sport. And just recently golf has finally found its best venue in the green fields of the Bulgarian coast. The country has been considered one of the top emerging tourist markets and with a number of golf developments already on the run, its leading position in the holiday field will be strengthened even further.
This will certainly have great impact on the tourism industry, but also on the economy in general. Property markets have started to feel this impact and prices and interest in properties along the golf courses have marked a steady rise.
Three of those projects are located in the yet unspoiled beautiful coastal area, north of Varna city. Fascinating locations, right next to the edge of cliffs, going down into the waves of the Black Sea, excellent climate with plenty of sunshine and temperatures between 24 and 30 degrees C between late April till October and welcoming attitude, those courses will easily become a favourite ones.
All three will be 18-hole courses, planned and realized in accordance with all modern trends in the golf course’s architecture and landscapes.

BlackSeaRama is an ideally accessible area for holiday or second homes.

The historic fishing port of Balchik and the renowned Golden Sands resort are also within easy access offering a whole range of facilities for holidaymakers apart from the golfing fraternity.
Thracian Cliffs
Golf & Spa Resort
The site of Thracian Cliffs Golf Resort, which extends to the lip of a 150 meter high seaside cliff, is marked by a plateau surface and offers a spectacular elevated view of the Black Sea. The rough topography of the sea level Thracian Cliffs course will create a nice contrast and will drive a diverse design approach.
The golf course ranges through 145 tranquil, south facing hectares. Vastness and beauty will accompany you all the way to the 18th hole.
The inspiration for the architecture came from the local coastal architecture of materials such as the local stone, which is quite light in colour, timber as well as rendered walls and mottled ‘old style’ pan-tile roofs should be used. It is intended that the window and door frames as well as the external shuttering will all be from local renewable timber sources.
Lighthouse
Golf & Spa Resort
Situated high on top of cliffs only divided from the sea by a small strip of the land the site benefits from spectacular views along the coast in either direction. Having predominantly been used for agriculture in the past the site lacks much feature although there is great scope for the movement required to create an interesting Golf Course and Resort.
Detailed design work has begun on the 18 hole, located just outside of the small resort town of Balchik, 40 minutes from Varna city and the International airport. Working alongside European Golf Design on this prject will be Ryder Cup Captain Ian Woosnam.
Works has just began, there will be only three more years before the first swing is made.
