Teeth of the Dog is the most famous golf course in the Caribbean, and the best way to play it is from a villa inside Casa de Campo, minutes from the first tee. Here is what makes the course special and how to choose a villa near it.
About Teeth of the Dog
Designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1971, Teeth of the Dog runs seven holes directly along the Caribbean Sea — the ones players remember — with the rest winding inland through the resort. It is consistently rated the number-one course in the Caribbean and among the best in the world, and it sits within the gated Casa de Campo community alongside two more courses, Dye Fore and The Links.
Staying near the course
Because Teeth of the Dog is inside Casa de Campo, staying near it means renting a villa in the community and reaching the course by car or golf cart in minutes. Golf-community homes like La Florentina, Villa Royale, and Golf Villa V put you close to the fairways, many with course or garden views. Browse the golf villas for homes with course access.
What to expect
Villa guests play as resort guests; tee times and green fees are arranged and paid separately, priced by the course. The villa’s advantage is proximity, a cart to get around, and the space to relax between rounds — often with a chef to handle dinner. Each villa page notes its specific golf access and view.
