Comments on: How To Play Pirin Golf And Country Club? http://banskoblog.com/2009/06/pirin-golf-club-events/ The Online Authority For Bansko Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:09:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Richard http://banskoblog.com/2009/06/pirin-golf-club-events/comment-page-1/#comment-12269 Richard Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:00:33 +0000 http://banskoblog.com/?p=866#comment-12269 I looked up the golf package rates which ranged from 119 euros to about 160 euros per person for 3 night accommodation, breakfast, 3 rounds of golf. This appears more than reasonable and in fact is cheaper than pitching up and paying just 3 green fees. Or have I missed something?

I must get back over to the golf club as I agree the club house restaurant is excellent. As for expensive, you will find that prices of anywhere offering an upscale dining environment with all the attendant costs will be charging higher prices. That said I still think good value can be found when trying compare like for like with Ireland, or indeed comparable resorts. Any other recommendations you can share with us? Hi Karl,

At present the golf course is open to everyone but as the rights are exclusively owned by the owners of the resort, which is extended onto the residents of Pirin Golf and residents of any of the Bulgarian Holiday group this won't be the case forever. The resort is not fully operational and they need to keep some money rolling in, hence allowing anyone access. The only other exception will be for tournaments. I ate in The Club House restaurant in Jan 2011 and the food was top notch. Very high quality. The prices are expensive, relative to Bulgarian prices. Coming from Ireland and dining in such a prestigious venue it wasn't expensive. Great for chillin after dinner infront of a log fire sippin on a brandy. The same praise can not be said for the Italian restaurant "Casa di Pasta". The food was terribly bland and expensive. I don't see myself going back there anytime soon. Queen's bar was a nice pub. The food wasn't great but I'm willing to give it another try as I've heard other good reports and they could have been having an off night. Regards, Karl Hi,

It is true -- anyone can play (outside tournaments). Confirmed to me direct from Pirin Golf management who keep me posted on events. Anyone can play (handicap certificate required for Ian Woosnam course): best to book/check beforehand. This is good news for all. I urge non golfers and golfers alike to take a trip to club house... need reports on the restaurant which offers the promise of fine dining (at a price). oh and glad you like the site :) Lance Hello Liz,

We own an apartment in White Fir Valley, overlooking the course. They have informed us this week that we are now able to play the golf course. Do you know if this is correct generally ie. can anyone now play anytime? or do you think they are using the tournament entries only rule? Thanks for a great site, we glean much information from you.... regards Liz Lance……..
