About this course

La Romana Country Club's Back/New combination draws from the work of P. B. Dye, who designed the New nine as part of the club's expansion in the Dominican Republic's southeastern coastal region. The course sits within the broader La Romana resort community, an area known for its concentration of golf facilities including the celebrated Teeth of the Dog course. The Dye family's involvement in the region spans decades, and P. B. Dye—son of Pete Dye—brought his own interpretation of the family's design principles to this layout, which serves primarily as a members' course complementing the resort's more famous offerings. The routing takes advantage of the relatively flat Caribbean coastal terrain, with the design incorporating strategic bunkering, water features, and the kind of angular, geometric shaping characteristic of Dye family work. The New nine integrates with the existing Back nine to create an eighteen-hole experience that emphasizes shot placement over raw distance. Prevailing trade winds influence club selection and strategy, particularly on exposed holes where the breeze can shift conditions significantly throughout a round. The club operates within the Casa de Campo resort complex, which has established La Romana as a golf destination since the 1970s. While the Back/New combination does not host professional tournaments with the frequency of its more famous neighbor, it provides a solid test for members and resort guests seeking variety beyond the signature oceanside holes found elsewhere in the property.

Getting there

Most travelers bound for La Romana Country Club arrive via Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo (SDQ), roughly ninety minutes west along the coastal highway, though Punta Cana International (PUJ) offers an alternative gateway with a similar drive from the opposite direction. Private aviation typically routes through La Romana International Airport (LRM), a discreet facility originally developed to serve Casa de Campo and the surrounding resort enclave, placing guests mere minutes from the club gates. The final stretch trades the Caribbean shoreline for the manicured tranquility of the resort corridor, where royal palms and bougainvillea frame the entrance to one of the Dominican Republic's most storied golf addresses.
