The splendid ensemble in Germany’s green heart, Thuringia, is the ultimate destination. A third golf course is set to open soon.
Every room, it is said, breathes the spirit of its owner. Rarely is the personal touch of the owners so palpable as in the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land. Just 20 minutes by car from the Goethe-, Schiller-, and Bauhaus city of Weimar, the Grafe family has established a refuge where even the smallest detail reflects the quality and style of its founders.
A Special Note of Personal Hospitality
This note of personal hospitality shapes the atmosphere throughout the entire complex: from the 94 rooms and suites in the hotel and the seven residential units in the family building to the LindenSpa, expanded in 2023 to 3,000 square meters featuring high-end wellness offerings, and the resort’s seven restaurants.
Seven Restaurants, Two with Michelin Stars
Above the Masters with Executive Chef Danny Schwabe and The First by Marcello Fabbri, a Michelin star has shone for several years each, for French-inspired and Italian haute cuisine respectively, making Weimarer Land quite unique. The nearby town of Blankenhain’s Güldene Zopf focuses exclusively on Thuringian specialties. Additionally, Grafe annually hosts a January Culinary Open, a walking dinner gathering renowned Michelin chefs.
Goethe- and Feininger-Courses with 18 Holes Each
Project architect Achim Reinmuth from Städler & Reinmuth Golf Design initially crafted the 18 holes of today’s Bobby Jones Champion-Course in the gentle Thuringian landscape once roamed by Germany’s poet Goethe 200 years ago. By 2012, the two semi-loops were developed into the forested, artfully bunkered Goethe-Course (5,971 meters, Par 72) amid the Weimar hills and the relatively flat Feininger-Course (5,707 meters, Par 71) with many water hazards and challenging greens. The original 6,280-meter, Par 73 course remains as the essence, primarily used for major tournaments.
Expanding the Future with a Third Golf Course
Grafe has acquired 110 hectares of forest for a third 18-hole golf course in the resort’s northeast, promising to be as picturesque and tailored to guests as the existing courses. Approval processes are ongoing. This third course will make the resort unique, fitting perfectly into Grafe’s overall vision to establish the Weimarer Land as a tourist hotspot in Thuringia.
