The splendid ensemble in Germany’s green heart, Thuringia, is like the ultimate retreat. A third golf course is soon to come.
Every room is said to breathe the spirit of its owner. Rarely is the personal touch of the owners as palpable as in the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land. Located just 20 minutes by car from the cities of Goethe, Schiller, and Bauhaus heritage Weimar, the Grafe family has created a refuge where even the smallest detail reflects their quality standards and style.
A Unique Note of Personal Hospitality
This personal hospitality characterizes the entire resort: from the 94 hotel rooms and suites, the seven family residences, to the LindenSpa wellness area, expanded in 2023 to 3,000 square meters with high-end offerings, and the seven restaurants within the resort.
Seven Restaurants, Two with Michelin Stars
The Masters restaurant led by executive chef Danny Schwabe and The First by Marcello Fabbri have each held a Michelin star for years, offering French and Italian-inspired haute cuisine, making the Weimarer Land unique. The neighboring town of Blankenhain’s Güldene Zopf focuses exclusively on regional Thuringian specialties. Every January, the resort hosts the Culinary Open, an annual gathering of Michelin-starred chefs for a walking dinner.
Golf Courses and More for Perfection
The resort features the Goethe and Feininger Courses, each with 18 holes, designed by project architect Achim Reinmuth. The Goethe Course (5,971 meters, par 72) is wooded and artistically bunkered, set in the scenic Weimar hills, while the Feininger Course (5,707 meters, par 71) is flatter with water hazards and challenging greens. The original 18-hole course remains preserved for major tournaments.
Additional facilities include the Königin Louise 9-hole Course and the Luke Ross Hall with three Trackman simulators, complementing the golf experience. The resort also offers a horse riding farm, football training pitches built to FIFA standards, and a variety of leisure and sporting amenities.
The resort is also known for linking golf with football, attracting football teams such as Werder Bremen, English Three Lions during the EURO 2024, Queens Park Rangers, and Glasgow Rangers to train on its grounds.
Matthias Grafe, owner and visionary, emphasizes investing in the future and summer tourism. With a regional partnership with the German Football Association signed in August 2025, from 2027 onward, national football teams are expected to regularly train here.
Plans include a new sports hotel with 45 rooms aimed at diverse guests, ensuring year-round utilization of the resort. A third 18-hole golf course is planned on a 110-hectare forest area recently acquired, promising to blend beautifully with the existing courses, further enhancing the resort’s uniqueness.
Overall, the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land is a luxurious destination offering a blend of golf, wellness, gastronomy, and sport, set in Germany’s culturally rich and picturesque Thuringia region.
