The splendid ensemble in Germany’s green heart, Thuringia, is a top-tier resort soon welcoming a third golf course.
Every room breathes the spirit of its owner, and nowhere is this more evident than at the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land. Located just 20 minutes by car from the cultural city of Weimar, the Grafe family has created a refuge where every detail reflects quality and style.
A Unique Note of Personal Hospitality
This personal hospitality characterizes the whole resort: from the 94 rooms and suites of the hotel and seven family apartments to the LindenSpa, which was expanded to 3,000 square meters in 2023 with high-end wellness offerings, and the seven restaurants in the resort.
Michelin-Starred Dining and Elegant Design
The resort boasts seven restaurants, including the Masters by chef Danny Schwabe and The First by Marcello Fabbri, each adorned with a Michelin star for their French-inspired and Italian haute cuisine. The Golden Braid in nearby Blankenhain serves traditional Thuringian specialties, and every January the Culinary Open features a walking dinner with renowned star chefs.
Throughout the resort, wood, stone, rich textiles, and leather combine with warm colors to create an elegant and relaxed ambiance. Every piece of furniture and decor was personally selected by owners Astrid and Matthias Grafe, reflecting their vision.
Golf Courses and Future Expansion
The resort offers two 18-hole courses: the wooded, artfully bunkered Goethe-Course (5,971 meters, Par 72) and the flatter Feininger-Course (5,707 meters, Par 71) with water hazards and challenging greens. Both courses are set amidst the beautiful Thuringian landscape once walked by the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe over 200 years ago.
Additionally, the Königin Louise 9-hole course and the Luke Ross Hall with three Trackman simulators complete the golf offerings. Plans are underway to build a third 18-hole golf course on 110 hectares of forest, enhancing the resort’s unique appeal.
Matthias Grafe integrates football into the resort’s concept, hosting training camps for teams like Werder Bremen and British clubs, and serving as a team base for England’s Three Lions during EURO 2024. This cross-sport strategy fosters golf and hospitality growth in the region.
The Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land spans 450 hectares, including 110 hectares of forest, three golf courses totaling 45 holes, an indoor Trackman facility, a wellness area with indoor and outdoor pools, whirlpool, fitness room, and six saunas, along with numerous sports and leisure options.
Grafe’s vision is to transform the area into a top tourist destination in Thuringia, investing in the future and summer, with plans for a sports hotel and continued enhancements for golfers and other guests alike. (www.golfresort-weimarerland.de)
