Amazing - I woke up this morning thinking of a thread for GCA on Scotlands best par 3's eg. best set, best single par 3, best long one, short etc. and then I read this thread from DT. From my personal list of par 3's this one would get an honourable mention at best. And I say that having played it a number of times and having birdied a couple of times also including lipping out with my tee shot. Happy memories.
It is a fairly spectacular hole but having played it once when all the gorse at the back had been burnt to a cinder in a fire, you soon realise it is all about the view. The course itself is as George Pepper describes and is another example of a course which was better as a nine-holer. For architect buffs there isn't much to see other than the next hole having a drive over a series of chocolate drop mounds.
Mike - if you are travelling along the Moray coast to Fraserburgh, it wouldn't be the course I'd pick to stop off at even allowing for the fact you've already seen Nairn, Moray and Duff House Royal. I'd even be tempted to move slightly inland to Forres and especially Elgin. Both have a bit of a heathland feel.
If time is off the essence and you don't want to go too far off track I'd suggest the nine-holer at Covesea, just west of Moray GC. It will give you the same playing over sea stacks experience as Cullen and also has a fantastic short par 3 to a saddle green. Now that hole definitely would make my best of list.
