Did someone say Golf?
Yes golf!!! Renowned player and designer Pete Dye crafted three public golf courses. Ranked the number one golf course in all the Caribbean and 23rd in the top 100 survey of golf courses in the world by Golf Magazine.
It has the uttermost spectacular view of the Caribbean Sea, the mountains, Chavón River and of Altos the Chavón.
Teeth of the Dog was baptized because natives used to describe the coral formations that grow offshore, even though the terrain was entirely composed of coral rocks and limestone. Alvara Carta an exiled Cuban took over a sugar mill owned by Gulf & Western; this sugar mill became one of the top sugar producers in Dominican Republic. But Carta wanted to give the profit back to the area by fomenting tourism in La Romana.
Dye originally proposed a 9-hole course for the sugar mill executives on a site close to the mill, but that idea was discarded after his discovery while crusading on a motorboat the rocky coastline further south and found what he quoted to be "The most beautiful seaside location for a golf course ever seen". Dye then set out to persuade Carta the idea of an 18-hole championship course to be built there. Gulf & Western had amassed an approximate of 40,000 acres but Dye's site for the course lay outside the property until further acquired by the company.
Work commenced in 1969 and the course opened its doors for the first time two years later. The challenging layout and rugged coastal terrain, including seven holes dramatically situated right on the rocky shoreline thus quickly gained favor in the golfing world, remaining to this day as Casa de Campo's star attraction. The Links Course was added in 1976, and the Dye Fore, which possesses a vast 7,770 yards from the back tees recently was recently inaugurated in 2003, containing 54 masterfully designed holes, thus making these three courses a bountiful challenge to any golf player
