One of the most challenging and celebrated courses in the Caribbean and Latin America. Designed by Pete Dye, it features 7 holes along the Caribbean Sea with forced carries over ocean cliffs. Course rating is 73.9 from the championship tees. The consistent trade winds add 1-2 clubs to many shots. Recommended for intermediate to advanced golfers.
Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo Resort in La Romana is the most celebrated golf course in the Caribbean and consistently ranked among the top courses in the world. Designed by legendary architect Pete Dye and opened in 1971, the course features seven holes that play directly along the Caribbean Sea, with crashing waves, coral rock outcroppings, and ocean views that make it one of the most visually stunning layouts in all of golf.
The course takes its name from the jagged coral limestone formations (diente de perro) that line the coast and come into play on the signature seaside holes. Pete Dye considered it his greatest design, and the course has hosted numerous professional events. Playing Teeth of the Dog is a pilgrimage for serious golfers — a once-in-a-lifetime round that lives up to its legendary reputation.
Playing Teeth of the Dog is an unforgettable experience, but it demands both skill and course management:
A round typically takes 4-4.5 hours. The experience includes practice facilities, a well-stocked pro shop, and a clubhouse with panoramic ocean views for a post-round drink.
