About Teeth of the Dog:

Opened in 1971 and renovated in 2005, Teeth of the Dog isone of four Pete Dye’s designs at the Casa de Campo resort at La Romana onthe southeast coast, and was the first Dominican Republic course to use the seato dramatic effect, putting it on the global golfing map. Its name derives fromthe jagged rock formations jutting into the Caribbean on which Dye placed teesand greens. Three of its four par-3 holes play over waves to the greens. Intotal, it has seven holes next to the sea and 11 with ocean views.
