Thracian Cliffs Resort

Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort sits along Bulgaria's Black Sea coast near the town of Kavarna in the Dobrich region. Gary Player designed the course, which opened in 2010 as part of a luxury resort development. The property occupies dramatic clifftop terrain with significant elevation changes and views over the sea, representing one of the more ambitious golf projects in Eastern Europe during that development period. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with holes playing across and along limestone cliffs that drop toward the water. Several holes feature tee shots or approach shots with the Black Sea as backdrop, and the design incorporates the rocky coastal landscape into the playing corridors. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the championship tees and presents a links-influenced character in places, though the clifftop setting and Mediterranean climate distinguish it from traditional links terrain. Wind from the sea is a regular factor in club selection and strategy. The resort development includes residential villas and hotel accommodations alongside the golf course, positioning itself as a destination facility for international visitors. The property has hosted professional events on the European developmental tours, helping establish its profile in the region. The course represents a significant investment in golf infrastructure for Bulgaria, a country with limited golf history, and serves primarily resort guests and traveling golfers exploring the Black Sea coast.
