Nestled in Germany’s lush Thuringia, Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land offers exclusive luxury and plans a third golf course.
Every space breathes the spirit of its owner. Rarely is the personal touch of the proprietors so palpable as at Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land. Located just 20 minutes from the historic Goethe, Schiller, and Bauhaus city of Weimar, the Grafe family has established a sanctuary where even the smallest detail reflects their high standards and refined style.
Distinctive Personal Hospitality at Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land
This signature personal hospitality shapes the atmosphere throughout the resort: from the 94 rooms and suites in the hotel and seven family apartments, to the LindenSpa wellness area expanded to 3,000 square meters in 2023, and the seven diverse restaurants now part of the property.
Culinary Excellence and Michelin Stars
Among these dining options, the Masters restaurant led by Executive Chef Danny Schwabe and The First by Marcello Fabbri each proudly hold a Michelin star, offering French-inspired and Italian haute cuisine respectively—making the Weimarer Land a unique culinary destination. Additionally, the nearby town of Blankenhain’s Güldene Zopf exclusively serves Thuringian specialties. Every January, the Culinary Open unites Michelin-starred chefs for an elegant walking dinner event.
Golf Courses Rich in History and Design
The resort features two 18-hole golf courses: the wooded and artfully bunkered Goethe-Course (5,971 meters, par 72) set in scenic Weimar hill country where legendary poet Goethe once walked, and the flatter Feininger-Course (5,707 meters, par 71) with water hazards and challenging greens. Both courses were developed and enhanced up to 2012, while the original Bobby Jones Champion-Course (6,280 meters, par 73) is reserved for major tournaments, honoring the legendary amateur golfer known for winning the Grand Slam in 1930.
The resort complex was thoughtfully expanded from historic ruins, incorporating a hotel built in the traditional courtyard style, the charmingly understated \”GolfHütte\” with golf reception, pro shop, and dining, as well as family-friendly accommodations and event spaces—all designed to appear as if they had existed for a century. The resort officially opened in 2013.
Matthias Grafe, inspired by Bobby Jones’ lifelong amateur status and the spirit of the game, utilized his industrial success in polymers to create this sanctuary dedicated to golf, luxury, and relaxation.
Further enhancing the experience are the Königin Louise 9-hole course and the Luke Ross Hall featuring three Trackman simulators. The resort also operates a horse farm and maintains FIFA-standard football training grounds, which have hosted teams such as Werder Bremen, Queens Park Rangers, Glasgow Rangers, and England’s Three Lions during EURO 2024, reflecting Grafe’s innovative strategy to combine football and golf hospitality.
With a recent regional partnership with the German Football Association (DFB), the resort aims to welcome national teams for
