The Links
The third course at Casa de Campo is the gentlest of the trio. A Pete Dye inland design playing to a par 71 of about 6,739 yards, the Links is the most forgiving golf at the resort, an inviting warm up before the drama of Teeth of the Dog and Dye Fore.
The verdict
Not every round at Casa de Campo needs to leave a mark. The Links is Pete Dye in a generous mood, an inland course of rolling ground and wide fairways laid out in the spirit of a British links, well away from the sea. It is widely called the most forgiving course Dye ever built, which makes it the perfect first round of a trip or a relaxed day between the bigger tests.
Forgiving is not the same as dull. The fairways bend left and right and reward the player who picks the correct angle off the tee, and dozens of bunkers of all shapes catch the lazy shot. Play it to find your rhythm, to take the family out, or simply to enjoy a walk where par is reachable, then save your nerves for the cliffs and the coast.

Designer, par and yardage verified June 2026 from Casa de Campo and leading course databases. The Links is a Pete Dye inland design, a par 71 of about 6,739 yards, opened in the 1970s.

The holes worth the trip
The Links plays over gently rolling inland ground rather than along the water, and the character is all in the angles. Most fairways curve one way or the other, so the tee shot is about finding the side that opens up the green, and the wide corridors keep the round moving even on an off day.
Dye fills the spaces with bunkers of every size, from sprawling waste areas to small pots tight against the putting surfaces, and the greens have enough movement to keep a careless approach honest. It is strategic golf without the intimidation, which is exactly the point of the course.
As a member of the Casa de Campo trio, the Links earns its place by giving the group a friendlier day. Use it as the opener to shake off the travel, then step up to Dye Fore and Teeth of the Dog with your game warm and your confidence intact.

Where to stay nearby
Casa de Campo is the base, with hotel rooms and private villas set among the resort's three courses, marina and beach club. The Links sits within the same grounds, so a stay on property keeps every tee within a short drive.
The smart play is a multi course week: open on the Links, build up to Dye Fore and Teeth of the Dog, and fill the gaps with the marina restaurants and the village of Altos de Chavon. It is the most complete golf base in the Dominican Republic.
