Casa de Campo Resort & Villas
La Romana
Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is one of the Caribbean’s great golf holiday destinations, ideal for UK golfers looking for a luxury long-haul escape with serious golf at the centre of the trip. Set in La Romana on the Dominican Republic’s south-east coast, the resort combines five-star accommodation, private villas, beaches, a marina, spa, restaurants, equestrian facilities and the village-style setting of Altos de Chavón.
The golf is the real headline. Casa de Campo is home to three Pete Dye-designed courses: Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and The Links, giving golfers enough variety for a full Caribbean golf holiday without needing to leave the resort. Teeth of the Dog is the showpiece course, ranked by the resort as the number one course in the Caribbean, with seven holes running along the ocean and dramatic coastal views throughout the round.
For golfers, this is more than a pretty setting. Teeth of the Dog stretches to 7,263 yards from the back tees, with strong course ratings, ocean breezes, coral coastline, shaped greens and strategic bunkering making it a proper test. Recent updates have also refined the greens, fairways, bunkering and practice facilities.
Away from the fairways, Casa de Campo has plenty to make the trip feel special, from Minitas Beach and the marina to dining, spa time and Caribbean downtime. For a Dominican Republic golf holiday with luxury, sunshine and bucket-list golf, Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is one of the strongest options in the region.

About The Area
Higüey is a great choice for golfers who want to combine Dominican Republic sunshine with culture, local character and easy access to some of the Caribbean’s best golf. Set inland in La Altagracia Province, it offers a different feel from the beach resorts of Punta Cana and Cap Cana, making it a useful base or day-trip stop for travellers who want to see more of the real Dominican Republic between rounds.
The city is best known for the Basílica Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia, one of the country’s most important religious landmarks. Its striking modern architecture, huge concrete arch and stained-glass interior make it one of Higüey’s standout sights, and a popular cultural visit for those staying in the east of the island.
For golf, Higüey works best as part of a wider Punta Cana, Cap Cana and La Romana itinerary. Punta Espada in Cap Cana is a Jack Nicklaus Signature course with eight holes playing beside or over the sea, while Corales Golf Course offers a dramatic Tom Fazio design with Caribbean coastline, cliffs, coves and lakes. Further west, Casa de Campo’s Teeth of the Dog is a Pete Dye classic, with seven holes set along the ocean.
Away from the fairways, golfers can enjoy beaches, resort dining, boat trips, local markets, nature parks and Dominican culture. Hashtag Golf Travel can help shape the right Dominican Republic golf holiday around Higüey, Punta Cana, Cap Cana and La Romana, balancing world-class golf with proper Caribbean relaxation.
