Green Fees in the Dominican Republic: What It Costs to Play in 2026
The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean's golf capital, home to Pete Dye's Teeth of the Dog and a run of dramatic ocean courses unmatched in the region. The signature rounds carry signature prices, but the country also hides real value. Here is what it actually costs to play in 2026, course by course, with where to spend and where to save.

The short answer
Plan on around 350 to 550 US dollars for the signature ocean courses and nearer 175 to 325 for the excellent value rounds. At the top, indicative 2026 green fees reach roughly 395 to 550 at Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo, 375 to 450 at Punta Espada in Cap Cana, and 350 to 395 at Corales, the PGA Tour venue at Puntacana. Resort guests typically pay the lower figure, and at the leading clubs a caddie is part of the round, often included in the fee.
Below the headline names, the value is real. Pete Dye's inland Dye Fore at Casa de Campo, the Links course there, and Robert Trent Jones Senior's Playa Grande on the north coast run nearer 175 to 325, and many resorts fold unlimited or discounted golf into a stay. All figures here are indicative and quoted in US dollars, the working currency for tourist golf in the country; they move with season and demand, so treat them as a guide and always confirm directly before booking.

How green fees work in the Dominican Republic
Three things shape the price. The first is season. The dry winter, roughly December to April, is prime, with the best conditions and the top rates; summer and autumn, May to November, are hotter, more humid and overlap the Atlantic hurricane season, so fees and crowds ease but the weather is less reliable. The second is guest status: the leading courses sit inside resorts such as Casa de Campo, Cap Cana and Puntacana, and staying on site brings priority tee times and the lower green fee. The third is the caddie, which at the signature clubs is customary and frequently built into the fee, with a gratuity expected on top.
Plan around the resorts and the value flows naturally. A stay at Casa de Campo opens Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and the Links; a base in Punta Cana or Cap Cana reaches Punta Espada and Corales. Bundling golf into the room rate, choosing the shoulder season and mixing one or two signature ocean rounds with cheaper inland or resort golf is how a Dominican trip stays sensible without missing the courses that make it worth the flight.
Where to spend, and where to save
If you spend big, spend it on the ocean. Teeth of the Dog, with seven holes hard against the Caribbean, and Punta Espada, with its cliffside Nicklaus holes, are the rounds you travel for, and Corales adds a genuine PGA Tour test. Play one or two of those at the peak fee, then fill the rest of the trip with the value courses, Dye Fore high above the Chavón river, the Links, Playa Grande on the quieter north coast, and the resort courses around Punta Cana that often come bundled with the room. Built that way, the average cost per round falls sharply while you still tick off the Caribbean's best. That is how to play the Dominican Republic properly, and it is what we do for every trip we plan.
