Dye Fore Golf Course

at Casa de Campo Resort & Villas

Location: La Romana, Dominican Republic | Style: Cliff-edge championship/links influence | Length: ~7,740 yards (27 holes) | Par: 72 (for typical 18-hole combinations) | Designer: Pete Dye | Opened: circa 2003-2005

Perched high above the dramatic canyon of the Chavón River and overlooking the marina and Caribbean Sea at the prestigious Casa de Campo Golf Resort in La Romana, Dye Fore is one of Dye’s most ambitious Caribbean designs.

This 27-hole layout is divided into three distinct nines - Chavón, Marina and Lagos - each with its own character. From elevated cliff-top tees to sweeping fairways and dramatic ravines, the experience is as much about spectacular scenery as it is about strategic shot-making. The resort framing and bold elevation changes make Dye Fore both a landmark golf destination and a test worthy of a top-tier Caribbean stay.

Course overview

• Massive yardage - playing some 7,700+ yards for the full 27 holes - marks it among the longest resort layouts in the region.
• Seven of the holes sweep along a cliff-edge drop of up to 300 feet to the Chavón River below, delivering both challenge and visual drama.
• Two of the par 3s (holes 12 and 15) on the Chavón nine are widely regarded as world-class shots: carrying over ravines, perched greens, imposing from the tees.
• Elevated tee boxes, generous fairways in places, but subtle slopes, bunkering that is typical of Dye, and dramatic risk-reward moments make the course stand out for travellers seeking both beauty and a proper test.

Signature Holes

One of the standout holes is the par 3 15 on the Chavón nine: a long carry over native vegetation and a ravine, with the green perched near the cliff edge. Many reviewers cite this as among the most memorable par 3s in the region.

Clubhouse and amenities

As one of the premium experiences at Casa de Campo, Dye Fore benefits from full resort support: spacious clubhouse facilities, pro-shop, rental gear, carts, caddies (as required) and full practice area.

The resort setting also means non-golf amenities are superb - fine dining, spa, beach and lifestyle options available within the larger resort envelope.

Post Round

After your round, you’re within Casa de Campo’s resort environment, so the options are plentiful: unwind with a drink overlooking the marina, dine in one of the upscale restaurants on-site, or retreat to the spa for recovery and reflection on the round. Given the dramatic views from the course, lingering in the clubhouse or viewing deck is strongly encouraged.
