Michael:
Wonderful pictures -- they give a good flavor for what a golfer encounters at Cullen, a somewhat otherworldly golf course.
The first picture, I'm not positive, but it may be the green site for the 13th hole, a par 3 Dell-like hole of 149 yards. The tee is behind the sea stack on the left, and to the left of the giant sea stack on the right. The 14th tee (longish par 3) is right around where the shot was taken, and goes to the right of the large sea stack on the right.
The second picture, I believe, is the 12th green, a 182-yard par 3 in which the tee is to the left (off the picture), near the North Sea. There is a nifty little bump/rise just before the green that you can see in the picture that you have to take into account when playing this long par 3. The tee shot for the 13th hole -- the 149-yard Dell-like hole -- is near that bump, and the green is hidden behind another sea stack that you can't see to the right of this picture.
The third picture shows the small town of Cullen way in the background, and the narrow strip of land on which the course lies. It's something of an out-and-back course, as the first tee and the 18th lie side-by-side, although there is some criss-crossing all around the course. The first hole (344 yd par 4), far off in the distance, runs along the base of the ridge on the right. The 2nd hole is a straight up the hill - 130 yards, and add a club or two. The 3rd-through-6th holes play on top of the ridge, a portion of which is barely visible on the right of the photo. Then you reach the 7th hole, the best of the course, a 231-yd par 3 from on high on the ridge to a green waaayyy down below. The long par 5 15th (510 yds) runs along the coast in the middle left of the photo. Holes 16 and 17 track back toward the sea stack pictured, and then 18 runs alongside the left side of the path (in the far distance; it turns left and forms a dogleg) that runs through the entire middle of the course.
The fourth picture shows the far end of the course. The 8th fairway is on the upper left of the picture, 9 (the double-crosser) cuts across from left to right, with the green perched right on the edge of the beach (upper middle of picture, light colored grass) and 10 and 11 coming back in the direction of where the photo was taken.
Pictures 5 and 6 show just how big the sea sacks are, which primarily come into play in the middle sections of the course.
Matthew -- it's very dear to play. It's an area bypassed by many golfers (Americans, esp.) because it sits in a pretty rugged part of the northeastern Scottish coast, and lacks a big-name course. My sense is that few folks really get east of Nairn or maybe Lossiemouth, and west of Cruden Bay, in search of courses. But there are several interesting -- if not championship -- courses in these parts, and folks are incredibly welcoming of visiting golfers. Several of the towns have courses squeezed into small parcels of land, and they show how inventive the local Scots were with compromised land in building interesting courses. Cullen is one of most interesting ones. If you go, make sure you stop in the clubhouse and have some Cullen skink -- the local "chowder" that's quite good.
