Cullen Golf Club
About
At less than 5,000 yards from the back tees, Cullen Golf Club doesn't present much of a challenge on paper. But Cullen's astounding scenery and diverse holes make it a quirky and entertaining round for locals and for those looking for fun golf courses to play during a Scotland golf vacation.
Designed by the legendary Old Tom Morris, the front nine at Cullen Golf Club take you next to the cliffs overlooking the Moray Firth Coast, while the back nine leads you back to beach level, making an 18-hole round at Cullen Golf Club a scenic delight that will have golfers gasping in awe at its meticulous beauty. And while the scenery is indeed stunning, the level of play also stands out.
The 510-yard par-5 No. 15 hole will have long hitters pulling out their big guns, while the No. 14, a par-3, features the 80 foot Boar Crag to navigate. All told, Cullen Golf Club is a stunning addition to an already brilliant golf region.

Scottish Uniqueness
This course is a one of a kind. There are plenty of blind shots and the setting has red rocks which look like they belong in the Bay of Fundy. Don't let the par of 63 put you off. Plenty of the par 3s are over 200 yards. Did I mention that this links was first routed by Old Tom?
The routing is unique as is the setting and par. There are uphill and downhill par 3s, blind shots, etc. It all adds to the charm of the place. You will not find a course like this one anywhere. Reminded me of Shiskine in that it is one of a kind.
Then there is the value-26 pounds (about $32) for a day ticket during the week. The locals say that plenty of people go around 3 times-I did twice. If you are about a championship test, not sure how much you'd like this place. If you want something unique at an incredible value-come here. Not many do, so the rounds were quick. Off the course, this is a proper golf club with a putting green, restaurant and locker room. In the clubhouse-get the Cullen Skink.
For value, this is amazing. Playing golf on what was once ocean floor is great too. Couldn't recommend a trip of courses only like this, but if you are around the area and playing some championship courses, this would be something completely different. If you are looking for an "Only in Scotland' day, then come here.
Super fun and quirky course
Although short Cullen Links is a fantastic course with brilliant scenery and some amazing natural features worked into hole layouts to create some challenging approach shots and tee shots on par 3 holes. Will definitely be back!
Cullen
Fantastic course . Would recommend this to anyone. Great value for money. The course layout is brilliant really loved playing here what a gem. First time playing here really enjoyable and some very interesting holes. Will definitely be back.
Quirky
Course is quirky interesting layout but organisation, clubhouse and catering needs to improve. Not the friendliest welcome!

First time playing Cullen, have heard a lot about the course and it’s par 3 holes, some of the par 3 set ups were amazing, a good short but tricky course, condition was brilliant, unfortunately was held up by a few four balls infront of us, but didn’t let it bother us as we took in some amazing views and great weather, will definitely be back
Great experience
Interesting course in lovely condition, highly recommend it.
Excellent little challenge
Stunning views course in reasonable shape as usual.
A must for any golfer.
Say no more.
Stunning course
Always make this a must do on every visit to Moray. An absolutely stunning course. Don't let the par 63 make you think this is an easy course, with 4 hidden par 3's these can make or break your round.
Fantastic
Great little course lovely setup nice greens stunning views
Great links course fantastic views.
Great links course fantastic views. Short course,but a must to play. Lots of par 3's and challenging if you have never played it before. Course was in excellent condition and the staff was very friendly. Can't wait to play it again.
Amazing scenery
Lovely course that is obviously popular, love that you get a day pass so you can go round as many times as you like. I will definitely be back soon.
Great wee course
Course was in great condition, greens were still a decent pace even at this time of year. Lots of par 3 but various of difficulty. Really enjoyed game played round in 2 and a half hours!
Cullen in November
Always great to play the course at Cullen. With 10 par 3s it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that it can not be that challenging, then you will be in for a surprise.
The 2nd, 4th , 7th, 12th and 13th will test your nerve and your club choice.
The views over the bay from the upper levels of the course are spectacular.
The course was in great condition lots of run on the ball and the green were excellent.
Friendly and helpful staff and the people playing the course always have time for a quick chat too.
Looking forward to playing again. Hope the weather is as sunny
Excellent Golf
Always enjoyable to play at Cullen and the course seems to change every time you play it. It is not long but quirky.
