Earlier this week, on Monday the 25th of March, Bill Clinton former President of the United States of America was here in Casa de Campo – playing a round of golf on the Teeth of the Dog.
The Teeth of the Dog, designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1971 is now ranked as the Caribbean’s #1 golf course and #22 worldwide – and is according to Casa de Campo Golf Director, Gilles Gagnon, one of former President Bill Clinton’s “favorite golf courses in the world”. With no less than 7 holes dramatically skirting along the Caribbean ocean – what’s not to love!? He “loves the Teeth” says Gilles Gagnon.
Also on the Teeth of the Dog that morning was Gilles Gagnon with his family – who were lucky enough to pose for a photo with former President Bill Clinton, “he was very nice that day, as always, and after I introduced him to my family he suggested to have a family picture with them.”

Staying in Punta Cana as a guest of famous Dominican fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, former President Bill Clinton popped over to Casa de Campo for the day – first playing a round on the Teeth of the Dog with his good friend and Casa de Campo villa owner Rolando Gonzalez-Bunster, before joining the Gonzalez-Bunster family and other special guests for lunch.
The wonderful lunch with former President Bill Clinton was served at the Gonzalez-Bunster’s magnificent Casa de Campo villa, which boasts a fabulous view over the Teeth of the Dog golf course and the Caribbean sea.
