Golf courses at Casa de Campo Resort & Villas
Teeth of The Dog Course
One of Pete Dye’s finest masterpieces, Teeth of the Dog is one of the world’s most highly ranked courses. With spectacular views and some iconic par-3s, Dye claims that it was “created by God.” The course has many tricky dog legs and signature Dye obstacles which will trouble any golfer. A par-72 course, it measures 6888 yards off the black tees.
The Links Course
The shortest of the three courses at Casa de Campo, this links course features 18-holes including three par-5s, four par-3s, and eleven par-4s. This inland links layout was designed in the mold of a classic Scottish course, with small hills and rolling views. The course meanders its way through the resort property and features small greens very well protected by Dye’s famous “wave” bunkers.
Dye Fore Golf Course
Opened in 2005, Dye Fore is Pete Dye’s most recent design at the great Casa de Campo. With seven holes running along the cliffs above the Chavón River, it has spectacular 360-degree views of the Caribbean Sea, the Dominican mountains and the resort’s marina below. In fact, it is considered by some to be even more beautiful than Teeth of the Dog, its older sibling.
