Casa de Campo Teeth of the Dog

Casa de Campo Teeth of the Dog

Casa de Campo is a fantastic resort with three top quality golf courses. By far the best of the three is the Teeth-of-the-dog golf course. This Pete Dye design is a true Signature golf course and is rated as The Best that the Caribbean has to offer – some claim with the quality of so many others that are on offer.

Dye started developing Teeth of the dog  1969, hot off from his celebrated Harbour Town Golf Links. Harbor Town hosts the PGA Tour of the prestigious Heritage Classic, which is the preferred golf course for the players. This is telling a great deal about the dyes accolades.

Over the years, Dye, who owns a property on the resort of Casa de Campo, continues to return to the Dominican Republic to tweak and renovate his “baby.”

“I’ve been going down to Casa de Campo all the time over the years and I keep going back and forth, either adding on to or taking away,” continued Dye. “The grass mutates after a while, so you need to keep putting new grass on and other items like that.”

The course has been carved from the rugged coral coastline, in fact, seven of its 18 holes run adjacent to the ocean and without a doubt are jaw-droppingly beautiful, the beauty only clouds temporarily the quality of this layout. A true championship golf course that bites back, your ongoing efforts rewarded by the sheer beauty of the golf course.

Teeth of the dog is a tough but fair test of golf that will challenge amateurs and professionals alike

Put the course to the top of your bucket list, a must-play course when on the island.

Signature Hole

7th – Par 3 229 Yards

A fabulous par three which requires all carry. The green sits like an island, surrounded by sand. This gem of a golf hole is punished by the elements, so picking the right club will be critical. In addition, the green is quite large with plenty of slopes.

A par on 7 is an excellent score.

Whilst playing at Casa de Campo, make sure to get around on one of the other great courses on offer. The Dye Fore Course is also a tremendous test of golf.
