For all of its activities, including golf, deep sea fishing, water sports, skeet shooting, and horseback riding, Casa de Campo offers an unhurried atmosphere.

Considered one of the top golf and vacation resorts in the Caribbean. It is as much retreat as it is resort and here there are no crowds.

is said that a picture paints a thousand words and merely by looking at these photos gives a good idea of what Casa de Campo is all about

Golf at Casa de campo Dominican Republic

This resort is renowned for some spectacular golf courses designed by the legendary golf course designer Pete Dye.

In my humble view [as an ex-4 handicapper from years ago!], the Dominican Republic is one of the most under rated destinations in the world of golf.
 
World renowned golf architect Pete Dye has designed several golf courses in the Dominican Republic and one of the unquestionably best
courses in the world is located in Casa de Campo.

The `Teeth of the Dog` [for more info click here], which opened in opened in 1971, was fashioned through the jungle and along a
rocky coast. It remains the only Caribbean course consistently in the world top 100 courses (usually in the top 50).

Other courses in Casa de Campo include the The Links Course [for more info click here] and Pete Dyes newest course, is the much-acclaimed Dye Fore [for more info click here]

Dye Fore has spectacular views and sits atop cliffs 300 feet (91 m) above the Chavon River, with views of the village of Altos de Chavon, distant mountains and the new marina. [cont right]

Casa de Campo Dominican Republic is forever improving and in the pipeline is a golf learning centre to be situated left of the 10th and 18th holes of the Teeth. Golf instructors from around the world will be invited to bring their students to the resort and to instruct them at the learning centre.

This program has already begun, as several pros from the US have brought their students in to teach them at the existing driving range. When the new facility is completed, much more comprehensive instruction will be achievable.
