How Many Golf Courses does Casa de Campo Resort have?
Here, we explain something about the three courses available in this amazing resort in the Caribbean:
Teeth of The Dog
This absolute Peter Dye’s masterpiece opened in 1975 and reshaped has a length of 7350 yards, more than 7 km. This course is a true challenge to play. The origin of this particular name (Diente de Perro in we translate into Spanish), its because where it is, surrounded by corals and petrified rocks which seem like a dog’s teeth. It is a course which whenever you play in it you want to keep playing.
It has several similarities with the Dye Fore like the grass bunkers, the high greens or the water obstacles. Hole 2 is one of the most difficult to play because you need great precision when throwing the ball, like the difficulty hole 5 has, a phew holes ahead.
Maybe the most amazing holes would be those near the Caribbean Sea. The first four holes are located to the left of the sea and those of the second round, to the right. This makes us stay more time regarding it because of its beautiful scenery, in every respect.
Every golf player, professional and amateur is stunned with the distinction and beauty that it has.
The Links
The Links is one of the most famous golf courses thanks to having stunning views of the villas and the Caribbean Sea throughout its 18 holes and its length of more than 6 km. It has a design that evokes the links -type UK golf courses.
Created by Peter Dye, it was completely reshaped in 2012 to be like the other two courses. It is a course with 71 wavy par holes. It has bunkers and roughs with Guinea and Bahía grass. Five of the eighteen holes have water in form of amazing lakes and lagoons.
Dye Fore
It is the latest course designed by Peter Dye in Casa de Campo, La Romana. It is surrounded by breathtaking views of Río Chavón, the mountains, or the Altos de Chavón or the sea because it is built beside a cliff.
Dye Fore has 27 holes, more than 7 km of length. Dye Fore has 5 holes with water in the form of three lakes. The two par three holes maybe are the most difficult that make this course one of the most challenging and encouraging to play in this pearl.
