About Dye Fore Golf Course

Dye Fore is Pete Dye's second great course at Casa de Campo, built along the dramatic cliffs above the Chavón River. It is a completely different experience from Teeth of the Dog — more inland, more elevation, and equally spectacular in its own right. The back nine offers river canyon and Caribbean Sea views simultaneously.

Designed by Pete Dye and opened in 2002, Dye Fore Golf Course has established itself as one of the premier golf experiences in the Caribbean. With 6 oceanfront holes and a par of 72 over 7800 yards, it demands both accuracy and courage from players of all levels.

For golfers visiting the Dominican Republic, Dye Fore Golf Course pairs naturally with a stay at Villa Espada in Cap Cana — a luxury private villa with concierge tee time booking across all major DR courses.
