Signature Holes
Hole 7 (Par 3): Often considered the signature hole of Pinnacle Point, the seventh hole is a short par-3 that requires a precise shot over a cliff to a green perched on the edge of the ocean. The dramatic elevation change and the stunning backdrop make this hole a favorite among golfers and one of the most photographed in the world.
Hole 9 (Par 5): This challenging par-5 runs along the edge of the cliffs with the ocean on the right. Strategic placement of shots is crucial to avoid the rugged terrain and to set up for an approach to the elevated green.
Hole 18 (Par 5): The finishing hole is a dramatic par-5 that offers a risk-reward challenge with its layout. The fairway doglegs right, and golfers must decide whether to go for the green in two over the cliffs or play it safe with a layup. The view of the clubhouse and the ocean provides a stunning conclusion to the round.
Pinnacle Point Golf Course stands out not only for its exceptional golfing experience but also for its commitment to providing the best facilities and services, making it a must-visit destination for golf enthusiasts visiting the Knysna area.
