Golf Dominican Republic

Guavaberry Golf and Country Club

Golf residential community located 45 minutes from Santo Domingo and 15 minutes from Las Americas International Airport. Championship Golf course designed by legendary Gary Player.

I was introduced to this place by my good friend the British Ambassador and it was in exquisite condition. Both a caddy and a golf cart were mandatory. In British parlance, this place was very posh!

Andy`s comment: "One of those well designed Player courses that, while a stern test for the low-handicapper off the back tees, give a fair chance to the high handicapper playing well"

Golf dominican republic Andy`s comments: "I have an abiding affection for this excellent residential resort course, having played 165 holes (9 rounds) on foot in one day there in February 2004 in a one-man charity golf marathon, and I never tired of its layout!"

The Teeth of the Dog[photo above left]

18-hole challenging and stunning world renoun championship course. Dubbed Teeth of the Dog after the razor-sharp rocks lining its seven oceanfront holes. Designed by Pete Dye and located in Casa de Campo, La Romana.

Fronting the Caribbean on seven holes, this Course is extra challenging because of sea breezes and airstrip.

Andy`s comments: "Definitely in my top 5 courses in the world, up there with Carnoustie and Leopard Rock in Zimbabwe. It is not difficult to see why people come from all over the world to play `The Teeth`".

Casa de Campo Resort, La Romana.

Dye Fore, the new addition to the Casa de Campo golf triad, has spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, the mountains, the Chavon River below and the Altos de Chavon artists' village. Having played both courses it is fair to say that it rivals the "Teeth of the Dog" course.

18-hole picturesque and daunting combined cliff-top course, with one nine looking out at the Caribbean sea, the other looking down at the Chavon river valley. Two of the greatest par three holes in the world can be found on the back nine, at the 12th and 15th. This is another unforgettable course.

Andy`s comments: "It says everything about this course that the locals dub it `to Dye for`. Tough in normal conditions it is devilishly difficult in a strong wind an another ultimate golfing experience".
