Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo Dominican Republic wins awards . . again

Teeth of the Dog golf course at Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic

Golf magazine’s recent issue listed Casa de Campo’s "Teeth of the Dog" as 8th on the "50 Greatest Courses of the last 50 Years" list. In addition, the notoriously challenging, oceanfront Pete Dye-designed track ranked 42nd on the "Top 100 Golf Courses in the World". One of the Dominican Republic's most spectacular and long-established beach resorts, Casa de Campo also came in 32nd on Golf Digest’s list of "75 Best Golf Resorts in North America."

A recent $20 million dollar re-design, expansion and renovation has transformed Casa de Campo, adding a new lobby, fine dining restaurant, lounge bar, fitness center, library, boutique, business center and main pool area--and new urban-chic, high tech "Elite" rooms and suites. (Deals on the new Elite rooms.)

And, not only THAT! Away.com has released its "2010 Best Resorts & Lodges Guide" to top domestic and international properties, which includes three Dominican Republic resorts: Casa de Campo, Excellence Punta Cana and Paradisus Punta Cana.
