Casa de Campo has long been one of the finest golf resorts in the whole of the Caribbean but with the recent addition of the Los Altos Club it has taken a leap into the upper echelons of worldwide golf resorts and now offers an enhanced, all encompassing experience that will leave you wanting to return to the Dominican Republic time and time again. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words so here are some sexy snaps of the jewel in the Dominican Republic’s crown.
The apartments at Los Altos sit alongside the 17th and 18th fairways of the Dye Fore Course and boast a number of infinity pools; perfect for cooling off after a long day on the fairways.
Hidden away from the rest of the resort, the Los Altos apartments are among the most luxurious available at Casa de Campo and the levels of service from the attentive staff members is second to none.
Interiors are all uniquely styled and provide an amazing base from which to enjoy the golf on offer at the resort.
Each apartment has its own fully equipped kitchen which can be stocked prior to your arrival upon your request. Private chefs can also be hired to cook for your party throughout the day for a relatively small cost.
Bedrooms at Los Altos are spacious, stylish and extremely comfortable.
Each apartment boasts an open air balcony from which views of the adjoining Dye Fore Course and the distant Dominican countryside can be taken in while enjoying a cool drink.
Our man from YGT ripping…a snap hook into the left rough.
The par 3 5th on the Teeth of the Dog is the first of the holes that sit right on the coast and is a tricky little hole when the wind swirls.
The par 4 4th on the Teeth of the Dog Course gets the blood pumping as you near the sea.
The view from the 5th tee. Not much to aim at here!
The 15th on the Teeth of the Dog Course.
Those who tend to miss right may struggle with the last few holes on the Teeth of the Dog Course!
As if avoiding the water the hole way up the right wasn’t enough of a challenge, the green justs out into the sea, giving players very little to aim at wityh their approach.
Altos de Chavon is a replica of a 16th century Mediterranean village and is a charming place to shop, enjoy a quick drink or an evening meal while overlooking the Chavon River below.
The private beach at Casa de Campo generally quite and peaceful; the perfect place to relax during time away from the golf course.
When the sun goes down the beach is a great place to spend the evening, with the sounds of the sea lapping at the shore and the breeze blowing through the palms a constant reminder that you’re in paradise!
There are few places as well suited to an evening meal on a Caribbean Golf Holiday thandown by the beach at Casa de Campo.
The 18th hole on the Dye Fore Course is a real beast and will take many a player’s Sunday best to get home in regulation.
The view back towards the Los Altos apartments from the 18th green on Dye Fore.
The view enjoyed from a private balcony in one of the Los Altos apartments…not a bad sight to wake up to every morning!
The par 3s on Dye Fore are particular highlights of this excellent course. Many of them require a well struck long iron to reach the green, some of which are perched on the edge of the cliffs that fall away into the Chavon River below.
This aerial shot perfectly illustrates the dramatic cliff top location of the back nine of the Dye Fore Course.
While the back nine takes you on a journey down towards the Casa de Campo Marina and back to the clubhouse.
The 18th green on Dye Fore is a small target that is well protected by elevation changes and bunkers.
The Marina at Casa de Campo is a great place to enjoy an evening meal. With a number of restaurants on-site, there is plenty of choice to suite all tastes.
As you may imagine there are plenty of flashy toys docked at the marina, some of which can be hired to whisk you off to a private island for the day.
