Located half an hour away from the north of Bucharest, in Niclești commune in Dâmbovița county, the complex will include the largest golf course in Bucharest and its surroundings, a country club, and a 5-star residential complex, as well as exclusive facilities, folded on the lifestyle of golf enthusiasts and people looking for options to retreat from the urban crowd, all on 72 hectares.
"National Golf & Country Club started from the ambitious idea of creating a resort with all the facilities for golf enthusiasts from Romania and abroad, but also a retreat for those who want a lifestyle connected to nature, far from the city. With 18 championship-size courses, the golf course is the centerpiece of the project. Thus, we support the community of golf players to follow their passion on a course that stands out at the European level, and, through the Golf Academy, we contribute to the development of this sport with lifestyle values in Romania", says Metin Doğan.
The construction work for the National Golf & Country Club started in 2022, in the context where there was no professional golf course in Bucharest and its surroundings. In comparison, Bulgaria currently has 8 courts with 18 tracks, and at the European level, the more than 10 million players have at their disposal more than 9,000 courts where they can practice this sport.
In recent years, the appetite for golf communities has increased, and the concept of residential complexes with golf courses and facilities for the whole family is beginning to take shape in the local real estate market. At the same time, tourism focused on golf represents an industry of over 4 billion euros at the European level, a value that benefits European destinations able to accommodate the needs of golf players. Through this project, Romania will position itself as an attractive destination for local and regional golf communities and will thus be able to attract some of these funds to the local economy.
