Dear Friends,

 

We are almost a week away from the IV Latin America Pro-Am at Casa de Campo. We are excited to having you and we promise a great week of competition and camaraderie. We can assure you that this will be a special week and you will return home with fond memories of your trip; your home away from home, Casa de Campo.

 

To make sure that your trip to the Dominican Republic is uneventful, we would like to provide you with as much information as possible. 

 

  • To enter the country, you will need a valid passport
  • After passing Immigration, you will pick up your luggage and clear Customs. 
  • As you exit the airport, you will find a transportation representative holding a “Prestige Services” sign with either your name or “Casa de Campo”. La Romana Airport is only 10 minutes from our Front Desk, Punta Cana Airport is 45 minutes away and Santo Domingo is just 1 hour away on the newly opened highway.

 

Upon arrival at Casa de Campo, you will check in at the Front Desk and will be assigned a transportation cart to use around the Resort. You may check your golf bags into storage with the Teeth of the Dog Caddy Master.

 

On Tuesday, August 7th, we will have a Welcome Cocktail Party and Dinner at The Driving Range of Teeth of the Dog with Night Golf. After dinner, we will review the week's activities and answer any questions that you may have about the Resort or the tournament. If you are interested in optional Hole-in-One and Gross & Net Skins, please bring $50 per player in cash.

 

We look forward to seeing you in August. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office at (809) 523-8045 or 8115, or email us at m.leonardo@ccampo.com.do
