Casa de Campo Resort & Villas – home to the Caribbean’s premier, luxury golf experiences, including the iconic Teeth of the Dog course – announces it will host full- and half-day PGA Junior Golf Camps, July 22 – 26.
Led by Robert Birtel and Eric Lillibridge, Casa de Campo’s outstanding PGA Professional instructors, the camps are available for young golfers of all abilities to learn the fundamentals of the game in a fun, engaging environment. The week-long programs emphasize skill development by incorporating both on-course play and off-course games.

Suited for newer golfers ages 7 – 13, the half-day camp is conducted from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and is priced at $150 (USD). Both options include daily lunch.

For overnight junior golfers and accompanying adults, Casa de Campo is also offering a “complete camp experience” starting at $1,299 (per adult, based on double occupancy) from July 21 – 27. The package includes nightly accommodations, week-long instruction program, daily meals and drinks, unlimited horseback riding and tennis, use of the fitness center, complimentary four-passenger golf cart, Wi-Fi and more. Kids 17-years-old and under stay free.
“There’s no better place than Casa de Campo for junior players of any and all abilities to learn the proper way to play the wonderful game of golf,” says Jason Kycek, senior vice-president of sales and marketing. “We invite families to take full advantage of our ‘complete camp experience’ offer to visit us here in paradise for an exceptional summer vacation at one of the world’s premier golf destinations.”
The PGA Junior Golf Camps will use the resort’s new state-of-the-art Golf Learning Center.
