Pirin Golf & Country Club features an exciting golf course set in a stunning mountain location, which will test you and have you wanting to come back for more.
One of the great attractions of playing golf is that you get to enjoy nature at the same time as playing sport and this is definitely the case at Pirin Golf & Country Club. Set against the towering back drop of the stunning Pirin Mountains, the Ian Woosnam Golf Course encapsulates what it means to play golf in the mountains. The golf course takes you on an adventure through the rough and rugged terrain, which is designed to excite and challenge golfers of all levels, while still being enjoyable for beginners. No matter how far you hit the ball or whether you prefer to take the aerial route or chip and run it, there is a route from the tee to the green for every golfer to discover. The almost constant summer wind, which blows through the Razlog valley will have a large impact on the strategy and is bound to make club selection a tricky and essential part of playing the Ian Woosnam Golf Course. Anyone that fails to take the wind into consideration will almost certainly find themselves in more than one of the numerous well placed strategic pot styled bunkers, which are dotted around the golf course. There are approximately 80 bunkers located around the golf course and none of them are easy to escape from and many will choose to play safe rather than take on a more risky direct option. The natural topography of the landscape and the subtle undulations of the greens make the greens especially tricky. So consider yourself warned it takes a keen and skilled eye to establish exactly which way the ball is going to break on these greens.
Pirin Golf & Country Club is a 5-star resort, which offers vacation properties and luxurious trading areas for sale and rent and manages a top-level golf club. The complex is situated on 150hectare area. Huddled in the beautiful Razlog-Bansko valley, near the well-known ski resort Bansko, the resort provides the unique opportunity for a golf & ski vacation, thus ensuring high investment returns and benefits for the property owners throughout the year.
The resort features two golf courses, exclusively for the use of our residents and guests of the resort, as well as guests of of the hotels Katarino SPA, Perun, Bulgaria, Razlog. The pride of the club is the outstanding 18-hole, Par 72 championship course designed by the winning 2006 Ryder Cup Captain, Ian Woosnam. The second course is named after the surrounding area, i.e. Pirin Pine Course and at the moment features 5 fully constructed holes. It is designed by a young German company. Keen golfers could practice and improve their skills on one of the biggest and most impressive golf academies in Central and Eastern Europe. The academy includes sophisticated video training equipment (Scope, S&M Putt Lab) and is managed by Nikolay Stanew – the only Bulgarian golf professional, certified by the European Professional Golf Association.
Undoubtedly, one of the most important buildings for a golf club is the Club House. Special attention is given to the design of the Club House in order to make it a desired place for business meetings, social events, family celebrations and relaxation. The Pirin Golf Club House is a beautiful and spacious building, constructed very much with the modern day golfer in mind and incorporating in it the spirit of tradition and modern times. Included is a well-stocked Pro shop, modern changing rooms, members club room, as well as a refined restaurant and bar. From the terrace of the restaurant one could enjoy the quietness of the natural surroundings and overview the magnificent 18th hole of the Pirin Pine course and the Ian Woosnam Golf Course.
