Here at DP&L we have been offering our clients golf orientated trips as far back as 1923. From stays in St Andrews to offers to come watch the 1931 Open at Carnoustie, just a few destinations and events we still offer to our clients today. Especially popular, both back then and today, is the harder to reach areas of Kintyre to play Machrihanish and over to the western Isles to visit Islay, a whisky lovers paradise.
