Pebble Beach and Pacific Dunes might play above the ocean, and The Old Course at St. Andrews and National Golf Links of America might play near the ocean, but Teeth of the Dog quite literally feels like holes are falling into the ocean—that’s how close you get. Dye’s routing allows the golfer to visit the Caribbean Sea and the Caletón de la Majagua on both the front and back nines, and the par 3’s at the 5th, 7th, and 16th will have you stopping for photos, selfies, and more as you overlook the crystal clear blue ocean water.
