Two major golf destinations can be defined in Bulgaria:

Cape Kaliakra Golf Destination

Three golf courses by the Black Sea coast, some 50 km away from Varna.

Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort is the jewel of Gary Player’s portfolio for 2011. The 18-hole signature golf course forms the core of the resort. From every hole there is stunning view of the Black Sea coast. The 6th hole sits on top of the cliff with the green set some 40 m below. Another challenge is the 7th hole whose tee box is on a small island in the sea. This is the only Bulgarian golf resort which has its own beaches. The guests can relax at the elegant Thracian SPA, enjoying therapies with high-class cosmetics and typically Bulgarian natural products like yoghurt, honey, mud and wine.

Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort offers a 5-star hotel, 18-hole signature golf course designed by Ian Woosnam, a golf academy, 3,000 sq m Spa & Wellness centre, variety of bars and restaurants. Challenging, yet generous, the golf course offers beginners and experienced players a chance to test their golf skills and to please their senses.

BlackSeaRama is a classic links golf course with remarkable views of the sea. It offers the very best of Gary Player’s style, said the US Masters champion Angel Cabrera after he played the course. The residential area consists of one or two-storey villas with 5-star hotel services. Own labels of wine are produced from the vineyards grown aside the fairways.
