Pirin Golf & Country Club is undoubtedly one of the largest and most impressive tourist and investment projects in Bulgaria. This exclusive gated complex is located in the picturesque Razlog Valley, just 10 minutes by car from ski area Bansko. Its location and concept turned it into a center of attraction for tourists and investors even before the finalization of the first construction stages.
History and development
The construction of Pirin Golf & Country Club officially launched in 2007, implemented by the leading construction company „"Balkanstroy"“. Investors are investing significant capital and vision in the creation of this unique complex for the country.
The heart of the complex – the golf course – was completed in 2008 with the opening of the 18-hole championship course. Ian Woosnam Championship Course. The resort welcomed its first guests that same year. Today, Pirin Golf continues its active development under the leadership of Ina Kanazireva, introducing innovative concepts and modern construction technologies in the construction of new stages of luxury properties.
Location and scale
The complex extends over the impressive 1500 acres at the foot of the Pirin Mountain, in close proximity to the main road between Bansko and Razlog. Its scale places it among the largest holiday complexes not only in Bulgaria, but also in Southern Europe.
The location is strategic - "in the embrace" of three mountains: Pirin, Rila and the Rhodopes. The climate offers cool summers, ideal for golf, and mild winters, making the complex an excellent base for skiers seeking peace and quiet away from the noise of the resort town.
