About Casa de Campo — Teeth of the Dog Golf Course

Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic is the greatest and most celebrated golf course in the Caribbean, designed by Pete Dye in 1971 and consistently ranked among the top 25 courses in the world. The course derives its evocative name from the razor-sharp coral limestone that juts from the sea along the coastline — the 'teeth' of the Caribbean coral that Dye incorporated as a design element and natural hazard. Seven holes play directly alongside the Caribbean Sea, with ocean water lapping at the edges of fairways and greens in a display of coastal drama that few golf courses anywhere in the world can match. Dye's genius was to recognise the spectacular natural setting and let it dominate — the golf is challenging and occasionally severe, but the ocean views and Caribbean breezes create a playing atmosphere that is overwhelmingly enjoyable rather than punishing. Casa de Campo resort has been the jewel of Caribbean golf tourism since the 1970s, and Teeth of the Dog remains its unquestioned crown jewel — a course that belongs in any serious golfer's lifetime list.
