Im so happy you took the time to really give background and history on Bulgaria. Even though Bulgaria is a nation with more people leaving % wise than anywhere else - I am immensly proud to be Bulgarian for all the good reasons you have shared here! Thanks EAL.

The only thing I know about Bulgaria is the exchange student that lived with us for a few months when I was like 7. She put ketchup on everything. everything. Other than that, I knew absolutely nothing about Bulgaria, and I have a bachelors degree. This video taught me more about Bulgaria than college and high school combined. lol.

I'm very lucky, I have an apartment on this resort. I have played the course over a hundred times, and I'm still taking photos. The other two courses nearby give great variety for golf tours, and there's also two wonderful beaches on this resort for families. I spoke to many of the professionals during the 2013 Volvo Matchplay and they were all blown away by it. And Gary Player says it's the most beautiful golf course he's designed or seen. So, okay, we're both biased but I'm so glad you've shown the independent view and share our love of this course. It was also great that you took the time to also refelct on Bulgaria and it's culture. Having visited many times I can tell you that they share all our aspirations to improve their economy and family lives and I'm glad to call many my friends.

As a recent golf addict and also a long time Bulgarian, I have been so excited to see this ever since you guys announced on the podcast you were visiting Bulgaria. I’m hoping this inspires a few more of my fellow countrymen to take the game on. And if there are any Bulgarians in the RGC community in the UK, please hit me up, would love to meet some of you guys. Much love ❤

Over the years I've been fortunate to play golf in many places around the world 🌍 Thracian Cliffs is by far my favourite course to play. I've been to Bulgaria on three operate occasions for golf and the experience is fantastic each and every time ⛳ If you're considering an overseas golf trip then Bulgaria has to be on your list.

Amazing that EAL did find a way to give a history lession while featuring the course. Some of the most spectacular Holes didn’t make the cut unfortunately. If you have the opportunity, please visit this bucket list course! You’ll be wishing to play it more often!

Very nice episode. I live part-time in Varna, which is 50 km from the golf courses at the Black Sea. I am a member at Lighthouse Golf, and I organize golf trips to Bulgaria. Not all the information in the video is 100% accurate. At the moment, there are 6 courses in Bulgaria, and the 7th is currently under construction. Additionally, the Euro will not be introduced in January 2024; although there were plans, they have been postponed. These are small details that don't take away from the excellent production quality of your video. Congratulations! I will definitely embed this video on my Golf in Bulgaria website about our golf trips. Thank you.

Whats the price to play at this course or another less exclusive course in bulgaria?

@JoakimPekkari Жыл бұрын

@@scubasteve4152 I think Thracian Cliffs was about €200 for two people and a golf cart, the two courses nearby were probably a bit cheaper but those greenfees were included in our stay at the Lighthouse resort. All three courses are well worth playing and you really should play all three if you ever visit. I think playing TC 2 times in a week is more than enough as it's quite demanding and does eat a lot of balls. Black Sea Rama and Lighthouse are better golf courses, just not quite as breath takingly beautiful.

Eric my oldest son married a wonderful girl who migrated to the US from communist Bulgaria with her grandparents . Her grandfather was a MD in Bulgaria and told me horror stories from his life under communist rule . I am proud to say my daughter-in- law has now graduated from USC medical school and has followed her grandfather's profession . The stories I heard would make us all appreciate our freedoms so much more . Great video .

Let me tell you about the place and the surroundings a little bit more. This terrace where is the golf course is the first level of cliffs, above it there is a second lavel with higher cliffs and on the top of it, there are stunning restaurants, bars, swimming pools with an amazing view over the gold course. Its a part of a complex with houses and hotels called Kaliakria. It's like a resort. There is also a small peninsula little bit south of the golf course with a resort called White Laguna. Also there is miles of similar cliff going south to the next city called Balchik. It's a small resort city with very beautiful beach alley with French Riviera atmosphere. So the whole area is worth visiting 100%.

I got to play this course in 2015 and it is hard to decide the “Signature Hole” because all of them were worthy of being a signature hole at any other course.
