Here is a useful Golf swing video and link to the premier Golf Technique improvement club (below video) to help you get ready to face the challenges of the three tremendous Casa de Campo golf courses designed by Pete Dye:
A Golf Course to 'Dye Fore'!
The latest of three golf courses in the Dominican Republic by the renowned golf course designer Pete Dye, and sited at the Casa de Campo resort. The Casa de Campo resort is one of the premier luxury Dominican vacation bases, close to the thriving town of La Romana.
The Dye Fore golf course also luxuriates in offering a long course approaching 8000 yards, with fairways that are wide enough for even some of the most badly sliced shots, at close on 200 feet.
At first glance the novice might find the aspect of the course overwhelming. Unique features such as a 300 foot deep river gorge, views of the quaint artist-township of Altos de Chavon, imposing mountain scenery and the Caribbean Sea in the distance all serve to make the course distinctive.
Reviews of the golf course have been very favorable and players enjoy both the palyability and the uniqueness of the landscaping and the normally wonderful Dominican Republic weather.

Get You Teeth into this Dominican Golf Course
For over 35 years the 'Teeth of the Dog' golf course in the Dominican Republic has frequently received top honours in the 'golf course Hall of Fame', consistently being ranked amongst the top 50 courses in the world. Proving that 'old dogs' can be taugt new tricks the golf course was improved with some 'serious dental work' making itr even more challenging since it re-opened two years ago after the refurbishment.
This was the first of the three exemplary Peter Dye designed courses that opened at the luxury Dominican resort of Casa de Campo. It now also provide a base for noted golf-pro Pierre Gagnon to pass on his wisdom to willing pupils.
You have the opportunity to tee-off some seven times, out of its 18 holes, whilst traversing the Caribbean sea front along which the Teeth of the Dog golf course is based. The often 'stiff' ocean breeze adds an another challenge for the unwary golfer and gives this golf course a particularly memorable bit of extra-bite!

Pete Dye's "Links" Golf Course in the Dominican Republic
Picture the scene -- the wonderful sun drenched Caribbean with the challenge of a first class golf course that features aspects commonly enjoyed in more Northerly climes, such as England or Scotland, the very home of golf.
This exceptional course was constructed over 30 years ago under the expert eye of Pete Dye and was his second development for the luxurious Casa de Campo holiday center, the first class Dominican Republic vacation resort based at La Romana.
This Dominican golf course offers numerous water challenges, set as it is in an area of lagoons and tall grasses, which are also inhabited by some of the many fascinanting species of birds found in the Dominican Republic. This makes the Links course an absoloute gem for ornithologists who also enjoy a serious round of golf -- or indeed golfers who are also keen bird watchers!
At just under 6500 yards this is the shortest of the three Pete Dye designed golf courses at casa de Campo, but it is no less of a challenge for that, with five of its testing holes based around those ball-swallowing lagoons!
