Dear Friends:
I would like to invite you to participate in the 31st Annual Casa de Campo Open from September 12–16, 2012. The Casa de Campo Open is a great tradition in the Caribbean and over 300 people attended last year’s 30th Anniversary. Like always, we have many special activities in store for the attendees.
The tournament will be a 54-hole event using the modified stableford system and will be played on the Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and Links. Golf Magazine and Links Magazine rank the Teeth of the Dog in the top fifty in the World, we have added a new nine holes at Dye Fore and the Links has been totally renovated so you are in for a golf treat like no other.
Prizes will be awarded to gross and net winners in all divisions, plus net senior, super senior, master senior and Elite seniors. On Sunday, we will have the Third Annual Caddy/Amateur Scramble tournament with a 7:30am shotgun start. The entry fee will be $50.00us per amateur and will be limited to the first 60 amateurs to register with a caddy. Indexes must be emailed to us no later than Sept. 3rd and will not be adjusted when you check in at the Golf Pro Shop upon arriving at Casa de Campo.

If you register after July 30, full payment will be required upon registration.

The balance between the cancellation penalty and your package will be refunded. Phone entries will not be accepted and the deadline to register is August 25th, 2012, or whenever we reach 240 players.
The Casa de Campo Open packages are always a great value and include: Golf Lodge, or Elite accommodation, one transportation cart per room, breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, unlimited drinks in all hotel bars and restaurants, drinks at the Oasis bars and carts on the golf courses during the three tournament rounds, a welcome dinner and cocktail party, an awards dinner and cocktail party, tournament favors, unlimited green fees, carts, range balls, club storage, over $25,000.00us in prizes, airport transfer from La Romana, Santo Domingo or Punta Cana Airport , tax and service charge.

Our friends from the Caribbean and South America usually fly to Santo Domingo Airport so we will provide free transportation by Tropical Tours to and from La Romana, Santo Domingo or Punta Cana Airport.
