Pinnacle Point is an absolute visual blockbuster that boasts the best scenery of any golf course (in the world) I have ever played.

It therefore sits comfortably as my favourite course in South Africa.Perched dramatically along the rugged cliffs, the layout serves up jaw-dropping ocean views that are simply unmatched.The overall conditioning across the entire property is nothing short of perfect, featuring immaculate turf alongs...

Holiday golf at it best. This course sits atop jagged cliffs above the cold Southern Ocean that stretches out all the way to Antarctica. And add to that that the routing winds through protected fynbos and blind drives and approaches, making precision, not bombing, the way to play. If conditions work...

This a beautiful golf course with some fantastic holes with little room for error. The big thing you notice about the course is the changes in elevation nearly on every hole, this comes with its challenges already then you tend to throw the wind into the mix.The wind places a massive influence here ...

Located at the southern tip of the country near the South West Indian ridge, next stop south Antarctica, the architect Peter Matkovich has created something special the like of which I thought only possible on a computer game.

The initial glimpse of the course certainly did not disappoint, with the opening holes carefully threading you to the top of the property for a Birds Eye view of the ocean before whisking you back down with some incredible tee shots into the abyss before playing the cliff top holes. The 7th is ...

I've played courses on 4 continents, but this is my favourite one. If you find yourself on the beautiful Garden Route in South Africa this is a MUST STOP! Great accommodation and a course that will leave no questions unanswered. Do you like a spectacular course nestle around a cliff? Tick! Do you li...

Spectacular holes abound along the coasts either side of the brilliant clubhouse, but you definitely need a buggy for this one which somewhat detracts from the experience.

I prefer to have the vistas change slowly as you make your way around the course rather than being teleported from one mirador to another.We stayed in a house on the estate via Airbnb which was a great way to soak in the views and sundowners on top of the clubhouse.The course was in excellent condit...

A feature of some new golf courses in the last 30 years, is that the designer has been asked to construct a course in unfriendly and yet awe-inspiring locations, mainly on cliff tops close to the sea.

This is in an attempt to create the ultimate ‘jaw-dropping’ experience in which to play the game. And arguably, the golf course at Pinnacle Point near to the town of Mossel Bay in the Western Cape is the most dramatic yet. One of the marketing slogans to announce its arrival in 2007 was ‘Pebble Beac...

I had heard and read a lot about Pinnacle Point.

Thus, I was excited to play it. Sadly, it is not very often that my expectations are exceeded, but they were here. An awesome fun course. Make no mistake about it, Pinnacle Point is an eye candy course. Not to the extent of Old Head, as Pinnacle Point has golf chops as well. Not sure how much I can ...

Pinnacle Point is by far the best course I have ever played.

I really do not know how it is so low on this list I definitely think it deserves a top 10 course probably even top 5. This course has the best views possible and is quite short but if you don't hit it straight you will be punished.

Why this course is so low on this list amazes me.

Such an incredible course. Its very tough and i think that alot of golfers have bad rounds and mark it down. No hole is alike, you have to hit long and straight, or sometimes just straight and play very tactically. Hole 7 is an incredible hole and one of the best that i have played in South Africa. ...
