About this course

La Romana Country Club's Front/New nine-hole combination represents part of the golf offerings at this Dominican Republic resort community, designed by P. B. Dye. Pete Dye's son brought his family's characteristic design philosophy to the Caribbean setting, creating a layout that works with the tropical landscape and coastal terrain of the southeastern Dominican Republic. The course sits within the broader Casa de Campo resort complex in La Romana, a destination known for its multiple golf courses and luxury amenities along the country's southern coast. The Dye design approach typically emphasizes strategic shot-making over pure length, incorporating visual intimidation, varied angles of play, and creative use of natural features. In this Caribbean context, that likely translates to routing that considers prevailing trade winds, integration of native vegetation, and attention to drainage given the tropical climate. The nine-hole format allows for flexible play options when combined with other nines at the facility. La Romana has developed as one of the Dominican Republic's primary golf destinations since the 1970s, with Casa de Campo serving as the anchor property. The region's consistent weather and coastal setting make it a year-round golf venue, particularly popular with North American visitors during winter months. The country club serves both resort guests and local members, functioning as part of the area's established golf infrastructure alongside the resort's more famous Teeth of the Dog course.

For those arriving by private aviation, La Romana International Airport (LRM) sits mere minutes from the club gates, offering the discretion and convenience befitting this storied enclave.
