From the 5th to the 9th of March 2013, the 26th annual Caribbean International Pro-Am II was played in Casa de Campo – with many golfers from the United States and across the worlds enjoying a magnificent week of golf on Casa de Campo’s impressive Pete Dye designed courses; the Teeth of the Dog, Links and Dye Fore.

The tournament officially brought to a close Casa de Campo’s annual “Pro-Am” series of tournaments which started in January with the 40th Casa de Campo International Pro-Am, continued in February with the 30th annual Caribbean International Pro-Am and then finished on a high with the 26th annual Caribbean International Pro-Am II.

Throughout the tournament, golfers were treated to the most beautiful weather – endless days of sunshine – which has brought the Bougainvillea out in full color all across the resort, especially around the links golf course!

As well as excellent golf, the tournament participants enjoyed fabulous dining at Casa de Campo’s finest restaurants; at the Casa de Campo Hotel, Minitas Beach, Marina Casa de Campo and Altos de Chavón, as well as special celebratory nights which included a welcome cocktail and the prize-giving ceremony and dinner.

Casa de Campo Golf

casa de campo teeth of the dog golf course

Casa de Campo’s first golf course, Pete Dye’s masterpiece, the Teeth of the Dog, was opened more than 40 years ago in 1971 thus beginning the transformation of Casa de Campo from a rural seaside retreat into a world-class golf destination, otherwise known as the “World’s Leading Golf Resort.”
