Thracian Cliffs PDF Print E-mail



Golf Balkan Ltd is pleased to announce that we have been awarded the contract to complete the construction of the 18-hole Gary Player Signature golf course at Thracian Cliffs Golf and Spa Resort located near Cape Kaliakra in the northern part of Bulgaria.



The site for this world class golf course is truly a once in a lifetime site to build a golf course on. As the legendary Gary Player himself said during his last site inspection on July 17th, 2009 “This will become one of the best golf courses on the planet”. The site is over 4,5 kilometres in length and runs along the lower cliffs, directly on the edge of the Black Sea. The white chalk cliffs and the natural vegetation which is found on site are natural features which truly give the project a magnificent setting. The views of the cliffs and the Black Sea from any hole on the course are simply stunning.



Being the first on site, Mr. Player had the privilege to situate the fairways along the edge of the land while the real estate had to take the back row overlooking the greens and the sea. The course itself has been designed to be integrated into this pristine landscape with minimal disturbance to the natural features or the native vegetation. Golf features like tees on the course will be like small islands which have been created in the middle of the natural landscape and vegetation. Many will be built using the locally found natural chalk rock to compliment the chalk cliffs.

This is the second Gary Player Signature golf course which “Golf Balkan Ltd has been contracted to build. The first was “BlackSeaRama” which was opened for play in 2008.
