Black Sea Rama in Lighthous Golf Resort sodita med najlepši novejši igrišči v tem delu sveta. V kolikor se želite pomeriti z nekaterimi najboljšimi amaterskimi igralci v Evropi, imate zdaj odlično priložnost.

Bolgarska golf zveza prijave na tekmovanje, ki bo potekalo med 10. in 12. septembrom sprejema do 31. avgusta. Pri tem organizatorji izpostavljajo izredno ugodno ceno, saj prijavnina znaša 120 evrov in vključuje organizacijo turnirja in tri igralnine.

VENUES

BlackSeaRama Golf & Villas

Endless sea views from the height of 200 meters towards the magnificent and extremely diverse bay from Cape Kaliakra to Cape Galata of the Black Sea - that is BlackSeaRama, the first championship signature golf course in Bulgaria - 18 holes, par 72, length of 6648 meters - and the first completed project of Gary Player in Eastern Europe.
From a flat terrain, a magnificent classical golf course is created, with intimacy at very each of the fairways and with greens, often exceeding the regular sizes. The whole design is fulfilled with respect towards the player, as it gives him/her a maximum of chance for a good round at a high-class golf course, where the wind - as it is usual when close to the sea - is often a significant factor.
blacksearama@blacksearama.com

Lighthouse Golf Resort
Ian Woosnam is not only one of the worlds greatest and most experienced golfers, but has also proven his exemplary design talent on a range of new courses around the world.
The most recent of these projects in association with European Golf Design (EGD), is The Lighthouse course and is the championship golfer’s first project in Bulgaria. The prestigious golf course is a links style course combined with traditional design. The ideal temperate climate is perfectly suited to the lush landscape of the course and the aficionado or enthusiast who takes to the fairways here.
