La Romana CC- New Nine, hole 5 approach
Golf at Casa de Campo started with the opening of Pete Dye's wonderful Teeth of the Dog course in 1971.
With seven handcrafted holes right on the coastline the course was an instant success.
In 1974 Dye's Links course opened, followed by La Romana in 1974.
Dye Fore was the last of the courses designed by Pete Dye, opening in 2005.
Both La Romana and Dye Fore are 27 hole courses, with three loops of nine holes.
Unlike the other courses at Casa de Campo La Romana opened as a private members club, and as such is not generally available to travelling golfers.
.
La Romano is in immaculate condition and with wide fairways, and true quick greens the course is eminently suitable for members.
The push up greens are nicely bunkered and represent the greatest challenge to members.
Members are spoiled!
