The splendid ensemble in Germany’s green heart, Thuringia, represents the pinnacle of luxury golf resorts; a third golf course is coming soon.
Every space is said to breathe the spirit of its owner. This is especially true at the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land, located just 20 minutes by car from the cultural city of Weimar, known for Goethe, Schiller, and the Bauhaus movement. The Grafe family has created a retreat where every detail reflects their high standards and style.
A Unique Touch of Personal Hospitality
This personal hospitality shapes the entire atmosphere of the resort: from the 94 rooms and suites and seven residential units in the family building to the LindenSpa, which was expanded in 2023 to 3,000 square meters with high-end offerings, and the resort’s seven restaurants.
Michelin Starred Dining and Elegant Design
Two of the restaurants, The Masters by Executive Chef Danny Schwabe and The First by Marcello Fabbri, each hold a Michelin star, offering French and Italian-inspired haute cuisine. The Güldene Zopf in the nearby town of Blankenhain is dedicated to traditional Thuringian specialties. Each January, the resort hosts the Culinary Open, an annual gathering of Michelin-starred chefs offering a walking dinner.
Golf Courses Surrounded by History and Nature
The resort features two 18-hole courses, the forested and artfully bunkered Goethe-Course (5,971 meters, par 72) set in the idyllic Weimar hills, and the flatter Feininger-Course (5,707 meters, par 71) with numerous water hazards and challenging greens. Both courses embody the spirit of legendary golfer Bobby Jones, celebrated throughout the resort for his amateur status and passion for the game.
Additional offerings include the Königin Louise 9-hole course and the Luke Ross Hall featuring three Trackman simulators. The expansive 450-hectare resort also provides FIFA-standard football training fields, where teams like the English Three Lions have stayed during the EURO 2024 tournament, reflecting the owner’s vision to combine football, golf, and hospitality to enhance the guest experience.
Plans are underway for a third 18-hole golf course amidst 110 hectares of forest, further cementing the resort’s uniqueness, alongside the development of a 45-room sport hotel to cater to various guest needs while prioritizing golf. With its blend of luxury, sport, and culture, the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land aims to become a premier tourist destination in Thuringia. (www.golfresort-weimarerland.de)
