go topQ81: Are there any golf courses in Bulgaria?
A81: At the present time (Aug 2007) there are only three golf courses in Bulgaria: two of them are located near the capital Sofia - Elin Pelin and Ihtiman (40km from Sofia). The third golf course is in Sliven, opened in 2004, 90km from the Black Sea. Because of the increasingly rapid rise in foreign interest in Bulgaria last years, several more golf courses are proposed some of them are under construction. See link of more info for full list of Bulgarian golf courses.
