Dominican Republic Golf Holidays
The Caribbean's golf capital, where Pete Dye's Teeth of the Dog began it all and a run of Nicklaus and Fazio oceanfront courses followed. Reliable winter sun, all inclusive resorts and short transfers make it the easiest serious golf trip in the region.
Who a Dominican Republic golf trip is for
The Dominican Republic is for the golfer who wants championship courses without the long haul or the fuss. It offers more world class golf than any other Caribbean nation, paired with all inclusive resorts, fine dining and beaches, and transfers measured in minutes rather than hours. It suits buddies groups chasing bucket list rounds, couples after sun and a few special tee times, and corporate days that want a wow factor.
Casa de Campo near La Romana is the heart of it, home to Teeth of the Dog and Dye Fore. The east coast around Cap Cana and Punta Cana adds Nicklaus and Fazio oceanfront layouts and a wider choice of resorts.

Best time to book
Play from November to April for warm, breezy days and the lowest humidity. The winter holidays and the spring break weeks fill fast and price up, so book early if you want them. Summer and early autumn are hotter and fall in the Atlantic hurricane window, so most golfers steer toward the dry season.
