Multi-award-winning Pinnacle Point Estate opened in 2006 and commissioned Peter Matkovich and Darren Clarke to design a championship golf course on the rocky cliffs of Mossel Bay.
The result is a unique routing that follows the natural contours of the land and features undulating and snaking fairways cut around steep cliffs and desert canyons. The front nine climbs in elevation before turning towards the water for the first of seven seaside holes and is highlighted by the daunting par-3 seventh played over a steep canyon to a cliffside green overlooking the ocean.
The second nine is routed along the water with each hole’s view more impressive than the previous. The highlight of the back nine is the par-5 18th played over a deep canyon to a steep sloping fairway and then down to a green protected by snaking waste areas, bunkers, and cliffs behind. Ranked as one of the best courses in the world since it opened, Pinnacle Point Estate also includes the largest on-site Pro Shop in South Africa, a world-class junior academy, as well as an elevated clubhouse with panoramic views of the ocean.
Beyond golf, Pinnacle Point Estate offers world-class amenities for every interest. Stay active with tennis, padel, a workout at the on-site fitness centre, or a golf warm-up session at the driving range. Unwind at the S.K.I.N. Aesthetic Spa or grab a treat at the Perfect Deli while the little ones enjoy the kids’ play park. For history and culture enthusiasts, the Iconic Tunnel Mosaic Project and nearby World Heritage Site, Point of Human Origins Caves, offer fascinating discoveries.
Pinnacle Point also features the upmarket Cliffside Restaurant, Bar and Lounge (homeowners, members and golfers on the tee sheet only), and fully equipped conference venue, ideal for corporate retreats and special events. As the gateway to the Garden Route, the estate offers easy access to South Africa’s top attractions – rugged coastlines, scenic trails, and charming surrounds, where adventure meets relaxation.
