Serbia, Romania & Bulgaria (the Balkans)

Golf Holiday to the Balkans

Nine nights across Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, split evenly between fairways and fortresses.

A golf trip doesn't have to mean the same three or four countries everyone else plays. This one runs through the Balkans instead , Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, with a tee time built into two of the three.

This is one of the itineraries we've planned for a group before , 9 nights, 10 days across Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, built for 18 adults travelling together, split evenly between golfers and non-golfers. It's shared here to show what a golf-and-culture trip through the Balkans could look like. A version built around your own group's size and golf-to-sightseeing ratio would look a little different , and that's the point.

Why This Trip

Why Golf Your Way Through the Balkans

Why Golf Your Way Through the Balkans

Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria don't often appear on a golfer's shortlist, which is exactly the appeal. Belgrade opens the trip with fortress views and river walks, before Bucharest and Sofia each deliver a round of golf on courses most travellers have never heard of.

The itinerary splits cleanly in both golf cities: nine golfers tee off while nine non-golfers take the old town instead, and everyone regroups by evening. Nobody sits out, and nobody has to choose between the fairway and the fortress.

If you asked us: Pravets Golf Club, outside Sofia, is the stronger of the two rounds , keep some energy in reserve for it on day eight.

Plan Your Golf Holiday to the Balkans

Two rounds of golf, three capital cities, and a group that never has to choose between them , the Balkans deliver a golf trip unlike the usual circuit.

This is one of the itineraries we've built for a group travelling together before, shared here to show what the trip could look like. A version built for your own group's size and golf-to-sightseeing ratio would look a little different.
