Description
Pete Dye considers the Teeth of the Dog golf course at Casa de Campo some of his finest work. It is one of three Dye-designed courses at the resort but Teeth of the Dog is without question the most challenging. The course begins by winding through towering bluffs and then makes its way down towards the sea. Dye incorporated his signature challenges but he claims that seven of the holes were designed completely by nature. The layout's par 3s truly shine, especially the fifth hole, which is the golf course's signature. It requires a carry past the splashing waves to a green guarded by a single, daunting tree. Teeth of the Dog has not only been ranked as the best in the Caribbean but also as one of the best in the world.
