It’s not exactly eliminating the middleman, but it’s a big assist.

The famed Casa de Campo Resort & Villas in the Dominican Republic has worked with American Airlines to bring a nonstop flight to nearby La Romana Airport. The resort is one of GOLF Magazine’s “Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World.”

The daily flight will originate at Miami International Airport, and the service begins on Thursday, December 5.

Fresh off celebrating its 50th Anniversary, Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is poised to become more accessible than ever. This American Airlines flight will join Sunwing in Canada that already operates a direct flight from Toronto into La Romana and will soon begin non-stops from Montreal on November 30. 

“This new direct flight from Miami is essential to creating the desired level of ease to travel to our beloved resort,” says Jason Kycek, chief marketing officer of Casa de Campo Resort & Villas. “Casa de Campo has encourage more airlines to come directly to us.”

Golf is a huge draw, no pun intended.

Casa de Campo is home to a trio of acclaimed Pete Dye-designed golf courses: ‘Teeth of the Dog,’ ‘Dye Fore’ and ‘The Links.’ Since opening in 1971, Teeth of the Dog is widely recognized as the No. 1 course in the Caribbean, and, starting in January of 2025, it will undergo a restoration project led by Jerry Pate Design.

The project will involve a complete re-grassing, restoring greens to their original size, and reshaping bunkers to honor Dye’s design. The course is expected to reopen by December 2025.

The Dominican Republic has been booming with tourism lately.
