Groundbreaking Golf Simulators Now Highlight Play on Pete Dye’s Caribbean Masterpiece
(LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic) – Casa de Campo Resort & Villas – home to the Caribbean’s premier luxury golf experience – announces its iconic Pete Dye-designed Teeth of the Dog course is now featured for play on the groundbreaking Golfzon golf simulators.
For over 20 years Golfzon has been a bestselling and state-of-the-art golf simulator company. Awarded “Best Golf Simulator” for five consecutive years in Golf Digest’s Editor’s Choice Awards, Golfzon has a presence in 63 countries with over 7,300 sites around the world and 65 million rounds of golf played on the Golfzon system annually.
With Golfzon’s unmatched technology featuring its hydraulic moving swing plate simulating real lies, multiple hitting surfaces and realistic graphics, golfers around the world can now experience celebrated Teeth of the Dog. The Dye masterpiece is widely known as one of the world’s best layouts and was recently named the “No. 1 Course in the Caribbean” by LINKS Magazine.
Since opening in 1971, Teeth of the Dog has been a true “bucket list” golf experience. Dye’s design hallmarks are all present: railroad ties, vast waste areas, peninsula greens and tees, hand-sculpted putting surfaces and a unique assortment of pot bunkers. “The Heaven 7” oceanfront holes are astoundingly beautiful, causing Dye to famously quip: “I created 11 holes and God created seven.”
“It’s such a great honor for Golfzon to feature our extraordinary Teeth of the Dog course on their state-of-the-art simulator technology,” says Jason Kycek, senior vice-president of sales and marketing. “Building valuable partnerships with groundbreaking, global companies like Golfzon continues to position us in the highest levels of golf resort destinations.”
“We are thrilled to partner with a world-class golf destination like Casa de Campo,” says Tommy Lim, CEO of Golfzon America. “We are additionally privileged their renowned Pete Dye creation, Teeth of the Dog, is now included in our ever-growing list of world-class virtual golf courses enjoyed by Golfzon members around the globe.”
Casa de Campo showcases two addition Dye-created gems. Twenty-seven-hole Dye Fore joined Teeth of the Dog in 2002. Its three nines – Chavon, Marina and Lakes – are distinct. Chavon features seven holes running atop cliffs dropping 300 feet, Marina meanders down to a harbor ringed by restaurants and shops, and Lakes is artfully crafted across tumultuous terrain. Golf course architecture aficionados call Dye Fore “the most underrated course in the Caribbean.”
Located in the interior of the property is the resort’s third Dye layout, The Links. The moderately hilly track with tall Bahia grass framing bunkers and undulating greens presents spectacular Caribbean views. Slightly over 7,000 yards from the back tees and playing to a slope of 126, it is considered one of the most-forgiving courses Dye has designed.
Casa de Campo also boasts a world-class Golf Learning Center. Highlighted by Trackman and BODITRAK technology, it features two indoor hitting bays for rapid game improvement, year-round training, individual and group golf lessons and schools, and expert club-fitting and repair. Residing on 21 acres of “pure grass,” the PGA Tour-quality facility also showcases practice greens for honing short games as well as unlimited use of the pristine outdoor range for full shots. On-course instruction is also available.
