Golden Sands is a lively Black Sea resort that works brilliantly for golfers who want sunshine, beach time and something a little different from the usual European golf break. Set just north of Varna, it offers a long sandy beach, waterfront hotels, restaurants, bars, water sports and plenty to do after your round, making it a strong choice for groups, couples and golfers who like a proper holiday atmosphere alongside their golf. The resort also sits beside Golden Sands Nature Park, giving the area a greener, more scenic feel than you might expect from a beach destination.

While Golden Sands itself is best known for the beach, the golf appeal comes from Bulgaria’s impressive Black Sea courses further up the coast around Balchik and Cape Kaliakra. Thracian Cliffs is the headline course, an 18-hole Gary Player Signature design carved into dramatic cliffside terrain, with sea views from every hole. BlackSeaRama is another Gary Player design, offering a more open clifftop challenge, while Lighthouse Golf Course, designed by Ian Woosnam, adds resort-style golf with Black Sea views and a strong championship feel.

For UK golfers, Golden Sands is ideal if you want a golf holiday that blends beach resort comfort, coastal scenery and memorable courses. It is especially good for those who want to combine relaxed all-inclusive-style resort days with standout rounds on some of Bulgaria’s best golf courses.
