Dye Fore
Dye Fore, another jewel in the crown of Casa de Campo Resort & Villas, is a breathtaking golf course that showcases the brilliant design of the legendary Pete Dye. Opened in 2003, Dye Fore complements its sister course, Teeth of the Dog, by offering a distinct yet equally challenging and visually stunning golfing experience. Perched along the cliffs of the Chavón River, with panoramic views of the Dominican mountains, the Marina, and the Altos de Chavón Mediterranean village, Dye Fore is a masterpiece that captivates the senses and challenges the spirit.
Spanning 7,740 yards from the championship tees, this par-72 course features 27 holes divided into three nines: Chavón, Marina, and Lagos. Each offers unique challenges and breathtaking scenery. The Chavón nine boasts dramatic elevation changes and stunning views of the river and the village, requiring precise shot-making and strategic thinking. The Marina nine, with views of the Caribbean Sea and the Casa de Campo Marina, presents wide fairways and expansive greens that are influenced by the sea breeze. The Lagos nine, characterized by its serene lakes, offers a different kind of challenge with water coming into play on several holes.
Dye Fore is renowned for its spectacular vistas, with seven cliff-side holes dropping 300 feet to the Chavón River below. The course is a testament to Pete Dye’s genius, featuring his signature design elements such as devilishly placed bunkers, undulating greens, and the ingenious use of the natural landscape to create a golf course that is both beautiful and formidable.
The course's signature holes, particularly the par-3 15th on the Chavón nine, offer some of the most picturesque and challenging golf in the Caribbean. Golfers face a daunting tee shot over a ravine with the river below and the village of Altos de Chavón in the background, making for an unforgettable golfing moment.
Beyond the challenge and beauty of the course, Dye Fore is integrated into the luxurious Casa de Campo Resort & Villas, providing golfers with access to world-class amenities, including exceptional lodging, dining, and leisure facilities. The resort’s commitment to offering a premier golfing experience is evident in the meticulous maintenance of the course and the comprehensive practice facilities available to guests.
Dye Fore stands as a monument to modern golf course design, embodying the creativity, innovation, and passion of Pete Dye. It offers a golfing experience that is not only challenging but also deeply rewarding, set against one of the most spectacular backdrops in the sport. For those seeking an unparalleled golfing adventure, Dye Fore at Casa de Campo is a destination that exceeds expectations, leaving an indelible mark on all who play it.
