The splendid ensemble in Germany’s green heart, Thuringia, is like the ultimate stage. A third golf course is coming soon.
Every room at the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land breathes the spirit of its owners. Located just 20 minutes by car from the historic city of Weimar, home of Goethe, Schiller, and the Bauhaus movement, the Grafe family has created a sanctuary where even the smallest detail reflects their high standards and style.
A Unique Touch of Personal Hospitality
This personal touch defines the entire resort’s atmosphere: from the 94 rooms and suites of the hotel and the seven residential units in the family building to the LindenSpa wellness area, expanded in 2023 to 3,000 square meters with high-end services, and the resort’s seven restaurants.
Seven Restaurants, Two Michelin Stars
The Masters, led by Executive Chef Danny Schwabe, and The First, by Marcello Fabbri, each proudly carry a Michelin star for French-inspired and Italian haute cuisine, making Weimarer Land unique gastronomically. The nearby Güldene Zopf specializes in Thuringian specialties. Every January, Grafe hosts the Culinary Open, a walking dinner gathering top Michelin chefs.
Golf Courses Named After Cultural Icons
The resort features two 18-hole courses: the wooded, artfully bunkered Goethe Course (5,971 meters, Par 72) set in the rolling hills where Goethe once walked, and the flatter Feininger Course (5,707 meters, Par 71) with water hazards and challenging greens. The original Bobby Jones Champion Course (6,280 meters, Par 73) remains for major tournaments.
The resort is nestled around the site of the former Slavic farm Gut Krakau, with buildings designed to look over 100 years old. Facilities include a hotel, the charming GolfHütte with reception, pro shop and dining, the Champions Dinner Hall for 120 guests, a children’s RabbitClub, and family apartments. The resort opened in 2013.
In addition to golf, the Königin Louise 9-hole course and the Luke Ross Hall with three Trackman simulators complete the golf experience. The resort also boasts a riding stable and FIFA-standard football training pitches, part of Grafe’s vision to combine football with golf and hospitality, attracting teams like Werder Bremen, Queens Park Rangers, and Glasgow Rangers.
The resort covers 450 hectares, including 110 hectares of forest, three golf courses totaling 45 holes, an indoor Trackman golf facility, and diverse sports and leisure amenities. The LindenSpa offers indoor and outdoor pools, whirlpool, fitness and treatment rooms, and six saunas.
Grafe continues investing in the region’s future and has established a partnership with the German Football Association. Plans include a 45-room sports hotel to cater to football teams and year-round guests, while a third 18-hole golf course is planned on 110 hectares of forest, with approvals underway, promising to make the resort even more unique.
The vision is to develop Weimarer
