Description:
On 8th of March 2012 we are playing the Golf Spectacle The Links in Casa de Campo, La Romana.
Hotel Casa de Campo:
At Casa de Campo, we know that your time is valuable and your comfort is our top priority. All of our accommodations give you plenty of room to stretch out. Couples will find our rooms spacious yet cozy. Families can enjoy connecting rooms or a suite... and larger families or friends traveling together will love the private home-like comforts of our villas.
Whatever accommodation choice is best for you, here you will find the warm spirit of Dominican hospitality and service, along with an outstanding variety of dining, recreation, and amenities so you can relax, revitalize and relish your time at your home away from home.
The Links Gold Course:
The beautiful inland Links course at Casa de Campo may not seem as exciting or challenging as its sea-side and cliff-hugging siblings, but don´t be deceived.
The Links is interior on the Resort property with spectacular views of the Caribbean and the Resort. Its moderately hilly track, with tall bahia and guinea grass roughs plus multiple sand traps keep you on your toes. Thought by some to be reminiscent of traditional British and Scottish courses, there are several lagoons and even lakes with wading birds. There are five holes where water comes into play on this course making it a challenge unto itself.
Ask any golfer who has played The Links and you will hear that this course is equally as challenging as the Teeth. It´s a demanding, merciless course for the unwary, with water coming into play on five holes.
Altos de Chavón:
Altos de Chavon, is an architectural wonder, a 16th century replica of a Mediterranean village perched high above the Chavón River. The village was designed by Dominican architect Jose Antonio Caro, and created by Italian master designer and cinematographer Roberto Coppa. Dominican artisans handcrafted the stone pathways, decorative ironwork, furniture and enchanting buildings, reviving almost forgotten crafts of metal work and stone carving. Under Coppa´s direction, each stone was hand cut, each wooden door frame was handcrafted and each wrought-iron detail hand-forged. Construction of the village began in 1976 and the village was inaugurated in 1982 with the concert of Frank Sinatra at the amphitheater.
