1960s: The Birth of a Visionary Idea

In the 1960s, a pivotal moment in Casa de Campo's history unfolded as Alvaro Carta arrived in La Romana, Dominican Republic, to oversee the sugar mill. In fact, the conception of Casa de Campo grew from the glamour of Hollywood as the property was first a 7,000-acre sugar plantation owned by Gulf + Western, which also had Paramount Pictures listed among its assets.

Inspired by the region's natural beauty, Carta and Gulf + Western’s chairman and CEO, Charles Bluhdorn, envisioned a new chapter in the island's development. He became a driving force behind the birth of the tourism industry in the area, laying the foundation for Casa de Campo Resort & Villas.

Legendary golf course designer Pete Dye was brought on board to create what would become the iconic Teeth of the Dog. Dye's master craftsmanship and vision shaped the course into a challenging and breathtaking masterpiece.

1971: The Birth of a Golfing Legend

Throughout 1970, more than 300 Dominican workers hand-carved a stunning golf course from the rugged coral landscape to bring Pete Dye’s vision to life. Upon hearing the workers refer to the sharp coral rock as “diente de perro” (meaning “teeth of the dog” in Spanish), the name Teeth of the Dog® was born.
In 1971, the Teeth of the Dog® golf course opened its doors, quickly gaining recognition as the premier golf course in the Caribbean. With its dramatic cliffside setting and challenging layout, the course attracted golfers from all over the world, solidifying Casa de Campo's reputation as a golfing paradise.

1974: A Private Executive Oasis

Casa de Campo's journey continued in 1974 when it began as an exclusive executive retreat for Gulf + Western, a prominent corporation. Catering to high-profile guests, the resort offered a tranquil sanctuary for business leaders and dignitaries to relax and network.
In 1974, Indian Prince Maharajah Jabar Singh, renowned for his expertise in polo, received a prestigious invitation to introduce the sport at the newly constructed Casa de Campo Resort in the Dominican Republic. His presence marked a significant moment for Casa de Campo, elevating its status as a world-class destination for both sport and leisure.

On August 20, 1982, the amphitheater hosted HBO’s “Concert for the Americas” special, headlined by Frank Sinatra. Two days later, the amphitheater welcomed Carlos Santana and the band Heart, and three years later, Wilfrido Vargas became the first Dominican artist to perform at the Amphitheater to a sold-out concert on April 26, 1985. In the years that followed, the amphitheater hosted star-studded performances from the likes of Elton John, Gloria Estefan, Sting, Andrea Bocelli, Michael Buble, Jennifer Lopez, and many more.

1984 -

1984: A Shift in Ownership and a New Chapter

A significant turning point came in 1984 when the Fanjul brothers and their partners acquired Gulf and Western Industries' sugar businesses, including Casa de Campo. This acquisition reshaped the corporate landscape and paved the way for the rebirth of the Central Romana Corporation, under which Casa de Campo would continue to flourish.

This year also brought the addition of Casita hotel rooms, complementing its array of private villa homes and providing guests with a versatile choice in accommodations. Nestled within the sprawling resort grounds, the Casitas were designed to blend luxury with comfort, offering a more intimate stay for visitors seeking a different experience from the expansive villas.

Dominican designer Oscar de La Renta lent his talents to create a unique and inviting ambiance for Casa de Campo.
