LA ROMANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC – Casa de Campo Resort & Villas – home to the Caribbean’s premier luxury golf experiences – has news on the Teeth of the Dog world ranking. Its Pete Dye-designed masterpiece rose 12 spots and now sits at No. 20 in Golf Digest’s “World’s 100 Greatest Courses.”
The list features internationally rated courses outside the U.S. As a result, Teeth of the Dog joins some of the greatest layouts in the game — Northern Ireland’s Royal County Down G.C and Royal Portrush G.C. as well as The Old Course in St. Andrews and Muirfield in Scotland. Indeed, it is the highest ranked course in both the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean.
Moreover, this distinction follows Casa de Campo receiving Golf Digest’s prominent 2022 “Editors’ Choice Award” in the “Best Resorts in the Americas” (Caribbean / Bermuda category). The award recognises the “best of the best” in the golf industry. This is the sixth consecutive year Casa de Campo has received the coveted tribute.
Teeth of the Dog has long been a “bucket list” layout for those seeking to play one of the world’s top golf courses. Dye’s design hallmarks are all present: railroad ties, vast waste areas, peninsula greens and tees, hand-sculpted putting surfaces, and a unique assortment of pot bunkers. “The Heaven 7” oceanfront holes are astoundingly beautiful, causing Dye to famously quip: “I created 11 holes, and God created seven.”
