Golf on the Black Sea…
Originating in the vast green lands of Scotland more than five centuries ago, golf has gradually conquered a top place among people’s favorite sports. With more than 70 million golfers in the world, 26 million of which in the USA alone and more than 15 million in Europe, golf has become not only popular, but extremely profitable industry.
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.
There are 3 of the best golf courses located only 15 to 25 kilometers away from Harmony Hills Residence. Enjoying a summer holiday will be only complete by a visit to one of them.
Lighthouse
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 been completed 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 project is Ryder Cup Captain Ian Woosnam.
Thracian Cliffs
Thracian Cliffs Golf course is located on the northern Black Sea Coast of Bulgaria. According to Gary Player, it is destined to become ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP 3 GOLF COURSES. The project started in 2006 and was divided into stages and they are all completed now. The 18-hole Gary Player Golf Course forms the core of the development that was designed prior to situating the real estate components within the resort. This fact permitted the famous and talented designer the optimum positioning of the eighteen holes directly along the cliffs on an undulating terrain without being compromised by the location of buildings. Carefully selected locations of tees and greens on 164 hectares of wild, scenic Black Sea cliff terrain, spanning 4.5 kilometers along the coast, bestow a truly exhilarating golfing experience.
The site of Thracian Cliffs Golf & Spa 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 golf course creates a nice contrast and drives 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.
