Golf courses inside Pirin Golf and Country Club
Bansko golf course is a Championship, 18-hole (par 72) layout, designed by the winning European team 2006 Ryder Cup Captain , Ian Woosnam OBE. To be precise, the entire golf infrastructure is located within the territory of Razlog municipality and for this reason it is frequently named as the Razlog golf course.
The site of the Ian Woosnam and the Pine course has the optimum location at the foot of the forest covered mountain slopes of Pirin mountain, with marvelous views of Pirin, Rila and Rhodopa Mountains.
On Bansko scenic Pirin golf course , one will play amidst crystal mountain creeks, tranquil lakes and lush meadows. Mountain stream water comes into play on 5 of 18 holes and its fairways are accented with wildflowers and flanked by towering pines and white firs. This is a memorable place for picturesque play in the bowl-like Bansko - Razlog valley, just underneath snow covered peaks that rise steeply up to 8500 feet. Pirin Golf course real photos in all four directions give excellent idea about the place.
Bansko's Pirin golf course construction phase I (first 9 holes) was successfully completed in September 2007. 6 October 2007 was a historic date for Bansko Razlog golf - the first "Family & Friends Tournament" was organised under Vihren peak . The new 18-hole Pine course inside Pirin Golf & Country Club was officially announced during the event. Those who invest in Pirin Golf & Country Club and those who use their properties will have exclusive access to the entire golf infrastructure under Pirin mountain - one of the largest golf playing grounds in European ski resort.

Pirin Golf & Country Club courses will be as beautiful to look at as it will be challenging to play. The par 72 Ian Woosnam signature golf course is physically demanding, not only because of the rugged terrain, but also because of its design - strategically located bunkers which guard the landing areas and large, undulating greens. It is widely believed that the first Pirin Golf tournaments will be played in 2010.
In 2007 a new, intermediary Masterplan with the 27-hole layout showing the location of the Pine course was made public. Please note that this is not the final layout of the golf complex with 36 holes golf under Vihren peak.
