Legendary golf course designer Pete Dye says Teeth of the Dog is his finest work. Measuring 7,363 and par 72 from the tips, the course plays along high bluffs and then down to the Caribbean Sea.
The par 3s are the stars of the show here with the 5th being the signature hole. It requires golfers to hit over waves that splash on the beach to a green guarded by a lone tree.
Ranked as the number one course in the Caribbean and 43rd in the top 100 courses, worldwide, by Golf Magazine, Pete Dye´s classic Teeth of the Dog attracts the best professional and amateur golfers in the world.
BUILDING THIS COURSE WAS A TRUE LABOR OF LOVE…
“The opportunity to carve out Teeth of the Dog was a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Pete Dye wrote in his book, Bury Me In a Pot Bunker. “Without proper heavy machinery to crack the coral, the tireless Dominican crew used sledgehammers, pickaxes and chisels.” The result was a true masterpiece!
Tricky shots such as a devilish dogleg and signature Dye obstacles captivate the world´s best. Toss-in trade winds courtesy of Mother Nature and “seven holes created by God,” said Dye, who lays claim to creating only the other eleven, and you discover the magnetic force of this amazing course.
But beware… if you dare to challenge the Dog, “at some point in your game, this Dog WILL bite you… guaranteed,” chuckles Gilles Gagnon, Director of Golf at Casa de Campo.
Top-notch caddies are ready and eager to guide you through the challenge of this beautiful course.
