"I am delighted to have been asked by Pirin Golf & Country Club to work with them on their golf course. Bulgaria is an exciting new golf destination and to be given the opportunity to design a course in this developing market is a great honour.
I believe you will enjoy playing the Ian Woosnam Course at the Pirin Golf & Country Club, Bulgaria."
Ian WoosnamPirin Golf & Country Club features two exciting golf courses set in a stunning mountain location, which will test you and have you wanting to come back for more. 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. 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.
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.
Golf as a sport incorporates in it the spirit of tradition and modern times. 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.
