European Tour properties: Pirin Golf & Country Club

Situated near Bansko, Bulgaria, Pirin Golf is a five-star resort offering a top-class golf course and luxurious accommodation nestled within a picturesque mountain range, and is the second European Tour Properties destination in Bulgaria.

Located two hours to the south of Sofia, Pirin Golf & Country Club is a 150 hectare site with a stunning course designed by Ian Woosnam in association with European Golf Design, a luxury hotel, apartments and houses which support longterm living, 20 restaurants, bars, supermarkets and shops. The course at Pirin Golf takes players on an adventure through rough and rugged terrain, offering an exciting and fun challenge to golfers of all abilities.

Putting the clubs aside, Pirin Golf and Country Club offers exceptional accommodation in its hotel and exclusive apartments across the complex. With state-of-the-art spa facilities and numerous different sports on offer, Pirin Golf and Country Club is the perfect setting for anyone looking for something extra special. In the winter months, visitors to Pirin Golf can swap the fairways for the slopes as nearby Bansko transforms into one of Europe’s hidden gems for skiing and snowboarding.

The properties within the resort benefit from the beautiful mountain location, gated community and top-class facilities and offer the unique opportunity for a golf, spa and ski vacation in combination with a diverse culture, stunning landscape and friendly hospitality. David MacLaren, Head of European Tour Properties, said: “We are so pleased to be able to welcome Pirin Golf and Country Club to our network. Our portfolio is packed with world-class venues and Pirin Golf is no different. Golf is a growing market in Bulgaria and the success of the European Tour Properties Senior Classic at Lighthouse Golf and Spa Resort in 2018 showcased the country in a tremendous light.”

Yordan Kanazirev, owner of Pirin Golf and Country Club, said: “Pirin Golf and Country Club is very proud and delighted to join European Tour Properties. We are looking forward to developing new initiatives with the European Tour Properties team to improve the quality and services throughout our resort to world-class standards, and to offer the mark of assurance guaranteeing customers and clients of Pirin Golf and Country Club a truly outstanding experience when they visit us.”
