Signature Course

The setting for the 18 hole golf course at the Thracian Cliffs Resort is truly stunning and rivals that of any other course in the world. A multitude of tee positions allow the Gary Player designed course to be sampled by golfers of all standards and everyone who tackles this picturesque course will be sure to be inspired by the dramatic coastal surroundings. The golfing experience can be further improved by hiring one of the professional caddies who will ensure their player for the day gets the most out of the course no matter the condition.

In May 2013 the course hosted the crop of professional golf as the venue of the Volvo World Match Play Championship. The tournament was eventually won by Northern Ireland star Graeme McDowell who beat Thongchai Jaidee 2 and 1 in the final. McDowell triumphed against a stellar field including Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter, while former US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy commented "It’s a stunning bit of land. I don’t know if I’ve been in a place as impressive – a bit like Torrey Pines." With Thracian Cliffs receiving critical acclaim for its design and layout it is quickly becoming a must play destination for golfers.

Thracian Cliffs is ranked as one of the best courses in Bulgaria

We had a 1 bedroom apartment with views over the golf course and Black Sea. It was fitted out with everything you need for self catering, if you wish. There was a pool available for our apartment block with towels and beds available. If you do not have a car you are trapped on the resort, but there are numerous restaurants to choose from.

We were a group of 6 golfers staying in a 3 bedroom suite (Marina) for a week. The apartment was perfectly located - right above the clubhouse and very close to reception, restaurants, ProShop and first tee. The apartment was great for us - plenty of living spaces, decent size en-suite bedrooms and 2 large balconies. We had breakfast and 4 of our evening meals in the Olivio restaurant which was very good with excellent staff. The other 3 evenings we took a taxi into nearby Balchik which was lively with a very good choice of bars and restaurants.

We stayed in a spacious room with very large bed, sea view balcony which also over looked the golf course. There was daily room service and the mini bar was restocked each morning. The staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for you. There are 2 private sandy beaches attached to the hotel with free frequent shuttle services. Food & drink prices were reasonable given the quality of the hotel. We would have no problem in returning in the future.

All four players really enjoyed the course although the pace of play was funereal after the first two holes. Some very challenging holes even off the yellows. It is difficult to think of a poor hole. Great experience. The after play experience was a bit of a let down with the outside bar.

The course certainly sets a challenge to every golfer set in stunning surroundings and breathtaking views. We loved the quirkiness of each hole and would certainly play it again.

Probably the most scenic and beautiful course on the planet. Wonderful views on every hole. The course is difficult so best not to play from back tees. Lots of challenging tee shots and unforgiving rough areas so lots of lost balls - take plenty! It’s definitely a buggy course with some long distances between greens and next tee. The greens were undulating so again a challenge. We played Thracian Cliffs 4 times and found it better and better each time - wonderful course.

If you drive it straight there is enough room to hit the fairways and give you shot at the greens. If you don't trouble is lurking on every hole. No 2 of which are the same. My 2 favourites were 6 and 7. 6 is a longish par 3 which drops almost vertically to a small green. Whilst the 7th is a short par 4 with the tee shot of 200 yds from an island tee box over a beach, up a small cliff to the fairway. Once this has been found a wedge to an elevated green is all that is required. Generally the greens are sloppy with breaks that difficult to read.
