Winter Getaway Casa de Campo Is a Stylish Destination for Golfers

(RELEASE) - Featuring three golf courses built by legendary golf course designer Pete Dye, Casa de Campo is the ultimate Caribbean golf retreat destination. The Teeth of the Dog features seven oceanfront holes are so beautiful its creator famously said “I created eleven holes, and God created seven.” The Teeth of the Dog is a challenging course that is certain to take a bite out of any golfer. If golfers aren’t distracted by the views from the course, they may marvel at the elegant homes that line the holes.

Located in La Romana, Dominican Republic, Casa de Campo is no stranger to luxury. This prestigious resort spreads over 7,000 acres, features three award-winning golf courses, a clay pigeon shooting center, an equestrian center, tennis courts, pools, and restaurants, as well as 1,700 private villas populating the resort. Nicknamed the Hamptons of the Caribbean, this one-of-a-kind luxury resort boasts lavish amenities and fun activities to entertain holiday-goers from all walks of life.

For those who consider vacation to be synonymous with tee time, Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic is the ideal getaway. Long hailed as one of the world’s leading golf resorts, Casa de Campo boasts three courses designed and created by the legendary Pete Dye, two of which reside on the water, with spectacular views providing the backdrop to golfing that’s anything but ordinary. The storied Teeth of the Dog course is the most remarkable of the three: it’s the top golf course in the Caribbean, and is a yearly shoe-in for GOLF’s Top 100 Courses in the World.

Casa de Campo’s other two courses are also unique and well-loved. The Dye Fore Course can be considered an “extravaganza”: it contains 27 holes, with a championship 18th on a tremendous 7,740-yard-long course. The Links, meanwhile, is more traditional, but its inland location doesn’t mean it should be skipped: the recently renovated course provides the unique experience of links golf in the Caribbean.

Finally, the resort has recently added a learning center, where golfers who are new, or are simply looking to up their game, can improve.
