The splendid resort in Germany’s green heart, Thuringia, is considered the ultimate getaway. A third golf course is planned soon.
It is said that every room breathes the spirit of its owner. Rarely is the personal touch of the owners as clearly tangible as in the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land. Located just 20 minutes by car from the culturally rich city of Weimar, home to Goethe, Schiller, and the Bauhaus movement, the Grafe family has established a retreat where even the smallest detail reflects their commitment to quality and style.
A Distinctive Note of Personal Hospitality
This personal touch defines the atmosphere across the entire resort: from the 94 rooms and suites in the hotel and the seven family units, to the LindenSpa wellness area which was expanded in 2023 to 3,000 square meters with high-end services, and the seven restaurants now part of the resort.
Seven Restaurants, Two with Michelin Stars
The resort boasts two Michelin-starred restaurants: The Masters, led by Executive Chef Danny Schwabe, serving French-inspired haute cuisine, and The First by Marcello Fabbri, featuring Italian-influenced gastronomy, making Weimarer Land quite unique. The nearby town of Blankenhain offers the Güldene Zopf, a restaurant focusing exclusively on traditional Thuringian specialties. Every January, the Culinary Open invites star chefs to a celebrated walking dinner event.
Goethe- and Feininger-Course with 18 Holes Each
Originally designed by golf architect Achim Reinmuth of Städler & Reinmuth Golf Design, the resort features the 18-hole Bobby Jones Champion Course nestled in the scenic Thuringian landscape once walked by Goethe himself. By 2012, the two loops were developed into the wooded, artfully bunkered Goethe-Course (5,971 meters, par 72) set in the rolling hills around Weimar, and the flatter Feininger-Course (5,707 meters, par 71) with numerous water hazards and challenging greens. The original layout (6,280 meters, par 73) remains available, particularly for major tournaments.
The resort complex also includes charming features like the \”GolfHütte\” building with golf reception, pro shop, and dining, the Champions Dinner Hall, and family-friendly accommodations, all designed to evoke a sense of heritage and comfort since its opening in 2013.
Additionally, the 9-hole Königin Louise Course and the Luke Ross Hall with three Trackman simulators complete the golfing experience. Beyond golf, the resort offers a riding stable and one and a half FIFA-standard soccer training fields, used by top teams including Queens Park Rangers and Glasgow Rangers.
Matthias Grafe, the visionary behind the resort, integrates football to promote golf and hospitality, successfully hosting multiple training camps including for the English national team during UEFA Euro 2024. A recent regional partnership between the Free State of Thuringia and the German Football Association (DFB) will further elevate the resort’s profile.
