Last week, Casa de Campo proudly celebrated the 30th anniversary of it’s longest running golf tournament – the Casa de Campo Open.

The Casa de Campo Open, which was first played in 1981, has for the last 30 years attracted international and local golfers alike to compete on Casa de Campo’s gorgeous Pete Dye designed golf courses; the Teeth of the Dog, the Dye Fore and the Links. And this year the prestigious tournament attracted nearly 300 players from all over the world!

This year, the Casa de Campo Open was opened on Wednesday the 14th of September with a cocktail and dinner celebrated under the stars on Minitas beach – click here to find out more and see photos of this event!

Following the inauguration and practice rounds on the Teeth of the Dog on Wednesday, the nearly 300 golfers played in the 3-day tournament from Thursday to Saturday. And for the first time ever in the history of the tournament, golfers played on Casa de Campo’s newly opened Pete Dye designed “9 holes” – which were paired with the Dye Fore and La Romana Country Vlub golf courses to create 2 new golf courses; the Dye Fore Chavon (Back 9 & New 9) and Dye Fore Marina (Dye Fore Front 9 & LRCC 3rd 9), golfers also played on the Teeth of the Dog.

The end of the tournament was celebrated in grand style on the 19th hole of the Teeth of the Dog – where a prize-giving ceremony took place accompanied by a delicious dinner and live music and dancing.

The following photos were taken during the tournament on the Teeth of the Dog golf course and at the prize-giving event on the Saturday evening, to view photos from the opening dinner and cocktail at Playa Minitas, click here.
