4 Days in Casa de Campo

Would one just play all the resort courses there?  Or the Teeth of the Dog three times and Dye Fore once?  Or what?  The missus is along but she likes to play too.  Any suggestions appreciated.

A bunch of GCA'ers were there in the spring. I can't recall the mix they recommended, but you may find it in the archives.

It's not that tough a call. But with the wife along you may want to see the other courses, too.

TOD is vastly superior in all categories.

   Teeth is closed until 12/15.  They regrassed the greens (and added 450 yards) and had a setback with massive rain in October.  So if you're going soon, there won't be much of a choice.  
   If you're there for four rounds, I'd go Teeth 3, Dye Fore 1.  But if it's five, I'd go 3 and 2.  Dye Fore is quite spectacular and worth the trip.

Jim, any idea of what Teeth might be like the first week of January?

  John:
       I'm leaving tomorrow for a 9 days.  I'll report back when I return.  You might remind me in case I forget.

There is also the Dye private course nearby
Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

Is the Links Course still there?

It used to be the only option to TOD.  That was 25 years ago.

I kind of liked it although I it suffered unfairly in comparison to the Teeth, which I thought was spectacular.

I was one of the bunch.
If I were to go back for 5 rounds, I'd do TOD - 5
Everywhere else - 0
Unless you're a variety is the spice of life kind of guy.
I enjoyed teeth more and more each round.

Chipster,
Yes the links is still there.  It's great for the ladies...
