GOLF AT CASA DE CAMPO
TEETH OF THE DOG
This course designed by architect Pete Dye, has consistently been ranked in the top 50 golfing courses since it opened in 1971. Construction began on the Teeth of the Dog in 1969 and it first opened for play in August 1971. This amazing course is a par 72-challenge that stretches 7,471 yards in length. In addition to being an amazing Pete Dye design with trademark challenges throughout, it boasts 7 fabulous holes on the Caribbean Sea that captivate: four on the front nine and three on the back nine. Not only do players have the challenge of a Pete Dye design, but Mother Nature also joins with constantly changing trade winds, Caribbean Sea sprays and breath taking beauty to draw focus off a game. This is one course that creates an indelibly fond, lifelong memory that golfers – if given the opportunity - don’t want to miss.
DYE FORE
The numbers are staggering: 27 holes, 7,740 yards in length; 7 cliff-side holes dropping 300 feet to the Chavon River below; 40 mph gusting winds - and breathtaking 360 degree views. This past September 2011, Pete Dye added another 9-holes to the Dye Fore golf course making this a 27-hole experience.
THE LINKS
The Links is the inland course and opened in 1976, after the Teeth of the Dog. Over the years, it received its annual maintenance – but last year, Pete Dye decided it was time to totally transform and remake this course. It has been closed since May 2011 and will reopen in March 2012. The course will stretch out to 6,900 yards which is not long in this modern golf era, but will require accurate drives and pinpoint accuracy with irons. Five holes are played around man-made lakes. It will be a great course to play – and still very different from the other courses in Casa de Campo.
