Lighthouse Golf Course

The lush, parkland-style course by Ian Woosnam at Lighthouse Resort makes the most of its position on the dramatic limestone cliffs overlooking the Black Sea. The panoramas here are truly distracting but that's one thing you can't afford to indulge yourself in too much if you want to carve out a decent score on this striking course.

Woosnam laid out this course as all resort layouts should be, with golfers of many different abilities in mind. There are multiple teeing areas on every hole and the design is challenging enough to entertain but never punitive in the way some egotistical designers like to make their signature courses.

At 6,720-yards and with a par of 71, the Lighthouse course blends challenge and playability to perfection, especially considering the fickle nature of the breeze off the Black Sea. The greens are superb; large, undulating but always true. Perhaps most surprising of all is the mature feel to the whole site. It was completed in late 2008 but you'd never guess with its strands of mature trees and the high quality of the fairways and greens.

Lighthouse is ranked as one of the best courses in Bulgaria

Rooms were great for seasoned, older travellers who don't want to share. We ate twice in the evening and the buffet dinner was reasonable value. The breakfast was very comprehensive for both cooked and uncooked eaters. The reception and concierge staff were very helpful. Overall good.

The room was excellent, food was average for all inclusive but excellent in a la carte restaurant if you pay full price (our meal cost 85 euros). Minimal outdoor facilities except for the pool and nearbye Balchik town untidy! Spirits were only local and branded drinks expensive. Nowhere near as good a value as Belek hotels. We would not visit again. No black tea (English)available only scented/flower tea flavours.

We played the course 3 times in different conditions. The pace of play was ok most of the time although a bit slow on first round on 3rd October. The course Marshall was helpful and informative. Collectively we enjoyed it.

We started in heavy rain so the course was practically empty. Lots of pretty decent holes but no views to speak of (think the only sea view was from the half way house deck). Good fairways and greens and a good layout. Staff at the restaurant were very good and the course ranger made a point of asking for our views and gave us a lot of background on the course’s development. Definitely worth a visit.

The Lighthouse should be played first of the three courses, it is a lack lustre course you could play anywhere in the world and not expect to pay more than £30 for a round, the course is kept well enough but boring, greens were far too slow and the clubhouse was tired and in need of some care.
