âĢľthe most exciting golf course location i've ever seen anywhere in the world!âĢĿ says peter matkovich, the architect behind pinnacle point.

The following is an excerpt from jamie thom and stuart mclean's south africa's greatest golf destinations:

âĢľno south african course has sparked as much curiosity among foreign golfers as pinnacle point near mossel bay has. Soon after completion, it was named one of the top ten new courses in the country, and recognition for its natural elegance and stunning holes has made it one of the most talked-about golfing destinations.

The explanation for the uproar is simple: no golf course builder has ever been given the chance to work on such a high site next to the beach, and to build a continuous string of holes that hop and skip for a few kilometers, suspended over pounding waves.
