General Information
Accommodations in Casa de Campo are available in the Casa de Campo Hotel
and private villas. A new Four Seasons hotel, to be known as Four Seasons
Casa de Campo, is under construction.
Because of its three famous Pete Dye Golf courses, Casa de Campo is especially well known for its golf. However there is a range of activities and facilities to suit all interests, especially for kids and families. And in 7,000 acres there are countless number of settings for total relaxation.
Casa de Campo truly has something for everybody. In October 2007 Travel & Leisure announced the results of family travel readers survey: Casa de Campo was selected as the #1 Family Friendly resort in the Caribbean.
Conde Nast magazine awarded Casa de Campo the prestigious 2007 Gold Key Award and ranked it in the Top 100 World's Best Places to Stay. It is no wonder recent American Presidents including Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr and Bill Clinton have enjoyed its golf and accommodations.
Guests of Golf Villa 119 have access to all the facilities of the Casa de Campo including the three Pete Dye golf courses. In fact Golf Villa 119 is on the 11th fairway of the Links course.
On arrival, our manager will take guests at Golf Villa 119 to register on at the front desk of Casa de Campo Hotel and pay a $25 (per villa) daily fee to receive a guest card for the hotel's facilities, and make arrangements for billing for any use of the phone in the villa. They also issue an ID Security pass for the front gate of Casa de Campo.
In addition to the golf, the most popular activities for the guests at Casa de Campo are the beach and water sports, biking (available for rental), horseback riding and polo, swimming in one of the many pools, running along numerous trails, a shooting center, spa treatment center and a world class tennis facility.
- Golf
Casa de Campo has three Pete Dye designed golf courses and they are considered among the best in the world. Dye is considered by many to be the most influential golf architect in recent history. The three courses are "The Links" "Teeth of the Dog" and the new "Dye Fore." Once again, for 2005 Travel & Leisure Golf has ranked Casa de Campo as the #1 Golf Resort in the Caribbean.
The famous "Teeth of the Dog" has seven holes skirting the ocean and consistently ranks as the #1 course in the Caribbean on Golf Magazines "Top Ten Courses of the World". "Dye Fore" is Pete Dye's latest masterpiece. "Dye Fore" has 18 "breathtakingly" picturesque holes, overlooking the Chavón River and the Altos de Chavón. Holes 12 and 15 are considered two of the greatest par 3's in the world. The "Links" is a challenging inland course, with hilly terrain and rolling vistas. It is described by many as reminiscent of traditional British and Scottish courses with its lagoons, lakes and wading birds. Five water holes add to the challenge.
- Tennis
Nestled on a lush tropical hillside, Casa de Campo's country club-style La Terazza Tennis Center offers 13 immaculately maintained Har-Tru courts (10 lighted), the finest equipment and staff and a spectacular view of the Caribbean. This was recognized by "TennisResortsonline" who selected it as one of the "Top Tennis Resorts in the World".
- Shooting
There's no greater test of concentration than sport shooting, and no resort can match the shooting excitement at Casa de Campo's Sporting Clays Shooting Center. The Trap, Skeet and Hunting simulations are among the most realistic conditions found anywhere.
