Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo

Course Overview

Pete Dye’s masterpiece, Teeth of the Dog, has long been regarded as one of the finest golf courses in the world—and its reputation is more than justified. Expertly carved by hand from the rugged coral and rocky coastline of the Dominican Republic, this iconic championship layout is a testament to Dye’s visionary design and unwavering commitment to creating a truly unforgettable golfing experience.

Consistently ranked as the number one golf course in the Caribbean, Teeth of the Dog combines breath-taking oceanfront scenery with a challenging yet immensely rewarding test of golf. The course flows seamlessly through a dramatic coastal landscape, where crashing waves, sea breezes and pristine fairways create a setting unlike any other. Rich in character and natural beauty, every hole offers its own unique challenge, demanding strategy, precision and imagination from golfers of all abilities.

While the spectacular views are impossible to ignore, Teeth of the Dog is far more than a pretty golf course. Its clever routing, demanding approach shots and ever-changing coastal conditions ensure that every round is both memorable and engaging. The course has hosted some of the game’s most discerning players, all drawn by the opportunity to experience one of golf’s true bucket-list destinations.

Make no mistake—if you choose to take on the Dog, it has a habit of biting back. But those willing to accept the challenge are rewarded with one of the most exhilarating rounds in golf. Seven spectacular holes play directly alongside the Caribbean Sea, widely considered among the most beautiful oceanfront holes anywhere in the world. From the first tee to the final putt, every moment is accompanied by extraordinary scenery and a sense that you are playing somewhere genuinely special.

For golfers seeking more than just another round, Teeth of the Dog delivers a golfing experience that lingers long after the scorecard has been put away. Few courses combine world-class design, stunning coastal vistas and such a prestigious pedigree. Quite simply, it is a course every golfer should aspire to play at least once—and one that most will never forget
