  2. Choose property at Pirin Golf and Country Club within your budget. Note that the market is dynamic and availability changes frequently. Some types of properties are now SOLD OUT. Excellent, affordable golf-ski-SPA apartments are still available, but if you want to benefit from clear mountain views or get one of the last frontline golf apartments you must not waste time.
  3. After you make a selection, reserve your chosen property. Reserving means you "book" as an exclusive buyer through us and we take your chosen property off the open market for 30 days.
  4. Why reserve in a "buyer's market" ? The answer is - not to miss the best from the remaining available properties. Pirin Golf & Country Club is one of the few developments still in construction phase (before completion) attracting strong interest in Bansko - Razlog valley. With exclusive 5-star features, now visible and comparable (location, exclusivity , construction quality , operational golf course, driving range and Clubhouse) Pirin Golf "stands out of the crowd" .
  5. The reservation fee should accompany a signed reservation form (Purchase Option Agreement), which is available on request. The reservation fee is fully deductible from the first payment (instalment), which is explicitly written in the Preliminary contract . If you decide to reserve online and the card payment reaches us before the signed reservation form , we will confirm in writing that we have received your payment and the reservation is completed.
