4 km E of La Romana
Casa de Campo is just off Hwy 3 on the east side of La Romana. If approaching from the east (Higuey) look for the entrance on your left before getting into La Romana. If approaching from the west (Santo Domingo / San Pedro de Marcoris) go through La Romana on Hwy 3, following signs for Casa de Campo. Look for the entrance on your right, about 1.2 km after crossing the river bridge on the east side of the city.
Casa de Campo (Links)
Casa de Campo (The Links course): Although often demoted to third in line in the Casa de Campo hierarchy, the Links course is another excellent Pete Dye design, and definitely not to be overlooked. Although lacking the dramatic oceanside holes of its illustrious neighbour, the Teeth of the Dog, or the stunning river views of Dye Fore, this very pleasant parkland-style, resort course is certainly no pushover.
Gracefully weaving its way through unintrusive, upscale housing, the fairways here are lined with a dazzling array of tropical flora, as well as artistically crafted bunkers of every shape and size.
The flatness of the opening two holes changes dramatically at the par-4 3rd, one of several holes played to small, elevated and heavily contoured greens. Around the putting surfaces all manner of bunkering and lunar-like mounding will test and challenge your short-game, on what you'll discover is generally a "forgiving tee-shot", but "testing second-shot" golf course.
Although absent on the front-nine, water makes its present felt during the middle section of the inward-nine. Both the par-3 13th and 16th holes are defended by ponds fronting the greens, while back-to-back par-4s at 15 and 16 are wrapped around the same small lake, bringing water into play for anything hit too far left off the tee.
It's difficult for The Links to steal any limelight from Casa de Campo's Teeth and Dye Fore courses, but if those two golfing behemoth's have given your game a mauling, the Links might just be the place to put it back in order.

Excellent
Like the original links-land used for the earliest golf courses in Britain & Ireland, the terrain that became Casa de Campo was too sparsely vegetated for cattle grazing, and too infertile for agriculture, which in Dominican's case implied sugarcane production. Although it may not have the look and feel of a classic British links layout, the Links Course at Casa de Campo occupies a tract of Dominican "links-land", on which grazing and agriculture were not possible.
The Links course:
Dominican Republic's 7th best course (Golf Digest, 2022).

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
