That window gives Casa de Campo, Casa De Campo, Casadecampo time to line up room or villa availability, preferred tee times, and a custom itinerary. It also matters because the Golf Sales Team can coordinate logistics early, which is harder to do once travel dates get tight. **Q: What kind of lodging works best for a golf group of 12 or more?** A: Private Villas work best when the group wants shared living areas, private pools, and more privacy. For simpler setups, Superior Casita Rooms fit standard group stays, while Elite Suites and Premier Suites add more space and amenities. Several accommodations also include 4-passenger golf carts, which matters on a 7,000-acre resort like Casa de Campo because getting around the property is part of the trip. **Q: Which golf course is best for first-time visitors in a group?** A: The Links is the most approachable option for first-time visitors or beginner golfers at Casa de Campo. Its classic inland layout has wide fairways, gentle terrain, and fewer forced carries, so it is less punishing than the more demanding courses. That makes it a better fit when your group has mixed skill levels and you want everyone to enjoy the round instead of just surviving it. See the [golf courses](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/golf/). **Q: Can a golf trip include non-golfers without making the itinerary awkward?** A: A blended itinerary works well at Casa de Campo because the resort offers spa services, beaches, shopping, dining, and excursions alongside golf.
