The most. The first. After 50 years of welcoming guests seeking the ultimate Caribbean getaway, those three statements have never more true than the present day at Casa de Campo. The pioneer of Dominican Republic golf resorts is as world-class as it gets for holiday vacationers seeking an incredible experience. The 7,000-acre luxury enclave has long showcased the best golf in the Caribbean, especially as it is the home to Pete Dye’s masterpiece course design, Teeth of the Dog® . Since opening in 1971, the celebrated layout is widely recognized as the No. 1 golf course in the Caribbean and is continually ranked among the top courses in the world. The oceanfront holes are astoundingly beautiful, causing Dye to famously quip: “I created 11 holes and God created seven.” Casa de Campo features two additional Dye-designed gems, Dye Fore and [The Links](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/golf/the-links/). Dye Fore’s three nines – Chavon, Marina and Lakes – are wonderfully distinct and a joy to play. Golf course architecture aficionados call Dye Fore “the most underrated course in the Caribbean.” The Links sits regally on moderately sloping terrain with spectacular Caribbean views and is just the ticket for golfers of all abilities. ![Teeth of the Dog® ](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/golf-tournament-laac2_edit.jpg) The myriad amenities at Casa de Campo certainly don’t end with golf. The Minitas Beach Club is a “must visit” with its perfect sandy beach ideal for swimming, lounging and relaxing in the sun. It also features an elegant infinity pool for adults, world-class dining combined with splendid seascapes and a separate family area featuring a pool for all, children’s pools, retail shops and two food trucks. To further complement a joyous stay is the 370-slip Marina & Yacht Club – an entire community for sport fishermen, yachting enthusiasts and landlubbers alike. The marina also contains several superb gourmet dining options for all tastes. Be sure to take a leisurely stroll along the docks as the sun sets and take in the splendor of another day in paradise.

Further highlights include the La Terraza Tennis Center, the largest racquet sport complex in the Dominican Republic; a 245-acre Shooting Club, with over 200 stations for trap, skeet and sporting clays and pigeon rings; and Altos de Chavon – an artisan’s village modeled after a 16th century Mediterranean city. Perhaps the best way to indulge in all the fun above is by booking a stay in one of the resort’s exceptional [array of villas](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/villas/) which range from three to 11 bedrooms. Villa guests receive a welcome amenity upon arrival, daily breakfast, private maid and butler service, golf carts, use of the Fitness Center and a dedicated concierge. ![Luxurious villas at Casa de Campo](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/villas.jpg)   This holiday season, the tropical retreat has never been more accessible with non-stop flights to nearby Punta Cana (PUJ) from NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte and Miami. If booked prior to Nov. 25, Casa de Campo is also offering an exceptional [winter sale](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/vacation-packages-offers/?NCK=8555590806) for travel from Jan. 6 – April 30, 2020 with a  40% savings (per room, per night).

It’s beyond perfect for a memorable vacation in paradise.     ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What makes Casa de Campo a good holiday vacation spot in the Caribbean?** A: Casa de Campo is built for travelers who want golf, beach time, dining, and resort amenities in one place. The property spans 7,000 acres on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic and has been welcoming guests for more than 50 years. That mix matters because it is a self-contained resort community, so a holiday stay can stay focused on the property instead of requiring constant off-site planning. **Q: Which golf courses can holiday vacationers play at Casa de Campo?** A: Casa de Campo offers three Pete Dye-designed courses: Teeth of the Dog®, Dye Fore, and The Links. Teeth of the Dog® is described as the No. 1 golf course in the Caribbean, while Dye Fore has three nines named Chavon, Marina, and Lakes. The Links is positioned as a fit for golfers of all abilities, which makes the golf lineup broad enough for mixed-skill groups. **Q: Is Casa de Campo a good choice if not everyone in my group wants to golf?** A: Casa de Campo works well for mixed-interest trips because the page highlights more than golf. Minitas Beach Club has swimming, lounging, an adults’ infinity pool, family areas, children’s pools, retail shops, and two food trucks. The resort also includes the Marina & Yacht Club, La Terraza Tennis Center, a Shooting Club, and Altos de Chavon, so non-golfers still have plenty to do. **Q: What kind of villa setup works best for a family holiday at Casa de Campo?** A: The villa option is the strongest fit for families or larger groups because Casa de Campo offers an array of villas from three to 11 bedrooms. Villa guests get a welcome amenity on arrival, daily breakfast, private maid and butler service, golf carts, use of the Fitness Center, and a dedicated concierge. That combination makes villas feel more like a private home base than a standard hotel stay. **Q: How do you get to Casa de Campo for a winter holiday trip?** A: Non-stop flights to nearby Punta Cana (PUJ) make the resort easier to reach than many Caribbean destinations. The page lists direct service from NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte and Miami. For travelers timing a winter trip around value, Casa de Campo also mentions a winter sale booked before Nov. 25 for travel from Jan. 6 to April 30, 2020 with 40% savings per room per night.
