PRESS FOLDER The Quellness & Golf Resort Bad Griesbach Relaxation, golfing paradise and Bavarian hospitality at the Quellness Golf Resort Bad Griesbach The Quellness Golf Resort Bad Griesbach is tucked into the gently rolling hills of the Lower Bavarian countryside to the south of Passau, the City of Three Rivers, in the idyllic Rottal district. It comprises three hotels with luxurious offers for wellness, beauty and thermal health as well as three estates, making it Europe’s number 1 golf resort. Nature, culture and a particular way of life come together to create a splendid combination which gives guests a deep sense of well-being. The region is distinguished by undulating hills and valleys covered in lush green woodlands, sprawling fields and colourful meadows. An array of biking and hiking routes intertwine the enchanting natural landscape. In the indoor and outdoor pools of the wellness, beauty and thermal landscapes offered by the three first-class hotels, sparkling water works its well-being wonders and invites not only wellness enthusiasts, health-conscious guests and conference visitors to relax, but also cyclists, Nordic walkers and golfers as well. The varied types of terrain surrounding Bad Griesbach also inspired world-class golfer Bernhard Langer while designing three of the five 18-hole championship courses. A total of 129 fairways on ten golf courses have been blended into the countryside, and the offer is completed by expansive practice facilities, the Golfodrom® Training Centre, the Golf Academy and several pro shops. Resort History The success story of the Quellness Golf Resort Bad Griesbach began in 1972 when the Hartl Family discovered thermal mineral water while drilling. The Griesbach Well and Fountain Society with Alois Hartl tapped into the Marienquelle, Karlsquelle and Nikolausquelle (Quelle is German for spring) in 1972 and 1973. The springs were found at depths of 497, 878 and 1,522 metres at temperatures of 30, 38 and 60°C. After Bad Griesbach received state recognition as spa facilities with medicinal springs in 1979, the first hotel in the area opened in 1981, which is now known as THE LUDWIG. The resort grew in the 1980s with the FÜRSTENHOF Hotel opening its doors and the construction of the first golf course as the foundation for today’s golf resort. The opening of the golf resort was celebrated in 1989. Another milestone was the broadcasting of the first KaiserCup in 1988. The range of hotels offered at the Quellness Golf Resort was complemented by the addition of the first-class hotel the MAXIMILIAN in 1991. In 1995, 2002 and 2003, three further 18-hole golf courses opened. All three courses were designed by Germany’s world-class golfer Bernhard Langer. The golf resort was the venue for a Guinness World Record in 2009: the largest golf tournament in the world was carried out with 712 participants on five courses. During the first professional tournament in 2013, the golf resort was able to fully demonstrate its champion-worthy qualities. In 2005, Dr Hans-Dieter Cleven became the majority shareholder of the Quellness Golf Resort, which was still operating under the name Hartl Resort at that time. Under his direction, many upgrades and enhancements to the resort were carried out. One example is the complete renovation of the hotel THE LUDWIG, which also took on the new concept as a family hotel. The transition from the family brand name Hartl Resort to Quellness Golf Resort Bad Griesbach was completed in 2015. Bad Griesbach Thermal Mineral Water Bad Griesbach Thermal Mineral Water is more than 10,000 years old and bubbles up from depths of 497, 878 and 1,522 metres at temperatures of 30, 38 or 60°C. According to medicinal water analysis, the water comes from “sodium-hydrogen-carbonate-chloride springs containing fluoride”. The legendary healing properties of Bad Griesbach Thermal Water have been displayed when taken by individuals suffering from chronic pain, stress or burnout symptoms.
