The Links

Overview: The Links is Casa de Campo's 18-hole Pete Dye course in La Romana, designed as the more inland companion to the resort's cliff and coastal layouts. The current course page describes wide fairways leading to undulating green complexes, sculpted bunkers and tall Bahia grass. Several holes have Caribbean views, but the course's main playing identity comes from its rolling resort ground and the way Dye uses fairway width to invite options before the approach. The resort says the course plays from just over 7,000 yards from the back tees; no single current total is stored because that wording is not an exact scorecard figure.

History: Casa de Campo's current golf pages identify Pete Dye as the designer but do not give a verified opening year for The Links. The course is part of a three-course resort collection that also includes Teeth of the Dog and the 27-hole Dye Fore. Keeping the opening field blank avoids importing a historical date from a secondary account when the current operator has not stated one for this exact routing.

Did You Know? The Links is described by Casa de Campo as a Dye 101 layout, a useful shorthand for its broad strategic idea. Wide fairways create room from the tee, while the undulating greens and sculpted bunkers make the next shot more exacting. The course also differs from the resort's other named routings in its inland setting, even though several holes still open views toward the Caribbean.
