The second Dye course at Casa de Campo opened in 1975 and has drawn comparisons to traditional British and Scottish links courses thanks to firm fairways and open putting surfaces that invite golfers to play shots along the ground. At first glance, The Links might not seem nearly as intimidating as its two seaside sister courses. However, looks can be deceiving. The moderately hilly course features several lagoons and lakes that are popular with wading birds. Tall, dense bahia- and guinea jungle-grass rough and numerous bunkers complete the scene. Most of The Links’ holes dogleg either right or left over the undulating landscape, and there are five holes on which water provides an exceptional challenge to even the lowest handicappers. Similar to traditional links courses, awkward stances are common at The Links and the course’s greens are the smallest, thus the toughest to hit, among the resort’s three courses. Dye also did a fabulous job with the greenside bunkering at The Links, even including a few of his trademark pot bunkers to bedevil golfers.
