## We're excited for the future

Although Teeth of the Dog will be missed during the year, avid golfers will have the opportunity to fall in love with two other golf gems at the best luxury golf resort in the Caribbean. [Dye Fore](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/golf/dye-fore/), known as “the most underrated course in the Caribbean”, offers 27 dramatic holes across 3 distinctive nines, boasting cliffside holes above the Chavón River, breathtaking views of the Marina and the Caribbean Sea, and rugged terrains surrounded by lakes. On the other hand, [The Links](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/golf/the-links/) offers a more traditional golfing experience with a graceful layout full of hills, lagoons, and tall grass surrounding bunkers and waste areas.

Teeth of the Dog’s reopening is set for December 2025. In Casa de Campo we’re already excited to see how this exceptional course will reach a new level while staying true to Dye’s vision.
