Pinnacle Point
St Blaize Hiking Trail, Pinnacle Point, Mossel Bay, 6511, South Africa
Pinnacle Point supplies one of the original selection's most dramatic settings. The course occupies cliffs near Mossel Bay, where fynbos, changes in level and the ocean shape the round. The operator credits Peter Matkovich and Darren Clarke with the design and identifies seven holes along the cliffs, including several carries across the broken coastal terrain. The award record is specific. World Golf Awards confirms Pinnacle Point as South Africa's Best Golf Course in 2024. It also appears among the nominees for the 2025 world-course award, but neither fact establishes an Africa-wide or world-category win. Keeping those distinctions visible makes the recognition useful rather than overstated. Visitor tee times are available through the club's official booking route. Its published guidance specifies carts-only play and no caddies, an important difference from several walking links courses in this list. Confirm what the quoted rate includes and seek advice on an appropriate tee choice for the group. The scenery is part of the attraction, but the carries and exposed setting also make this a round that rewards realistic assessment of playing ability and the day's conditions.
