Teeth of the Dog is an 18-hole, par-72 Pete Dye course at Casa de Campo in La Romana. It opened in 1971, before the wider Casa de Campo resort, and became known for seven holes directly alongside the Caribbean Sea. A widely published championship scorecard measures 7,471 yards with a 75.9 rating and 145 slope, although the course underwent a complete restoration during 2025 and reopened for 2026.
Jerry Pate led that project, rebuilding or reshaping every tee box, bunker, fairway and green while retaining Dye's original routing and character. Teeth of the Dog is one of three principal Casa de Campo courses, alongside Dye Fore and The Links, and must be treated separately from those layouts. Current access is focused on registered resort guests, villa owners, residents and their accompanied guests.
The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,831m (7,471 yards), course rating 75.9 and slope rating 145. Designed by Pete Dye, the course originally opened in 1971. It is open to resort guests. On-site facilities include Driving range, Pro shop, Golf carts, Caddie service, Clubhouse, Restaurant, Villa, Suite.
Pete Dye created Teeth of the Dog during the early development of Casa de Campo, working through the rocky Dominican coastline and coral formations. The course opened in 1971, before the resort itself was fully established.
Dye used the Caribbean shoreline as the defining strategic element on seven holes while creating the remaining holes inland. Coral rock, bunkering, elevated greens and changing angles are central to the design.
After more than five decades of play, the course closed for a comprehensive restoration. Jerry Pate led the 2025 work, rebuilding or reshaping every tee, bunker, fairway and green. The restored course reopened ahead of the 2026 season.
Teeth of the Dog has remained one of the Caribbean's most internationally recognised courses and has repeatedly appeared in global course rankings.
The restored course is again in play as Casa de Campo's flagship golf layout.
