Pinnacle Club on Cedar Creek Lake: Resort-Style Golf & Lake Life

If Long Cove feels like a modern, master-planned lake retreat, Pinnacle Club feels like a private country-club hideaway on the water — classic Cedar Creek Lake luxury with a strong golf heartbeat. For buyers who want both lake access and a true club lifestyle, Pinnacle stays near the top of the list year after year.

Here’s what Pinnacle Club is, what life there really feels like, and how we help clients buy and sell in this micro-market.

What Pinnacle Club Is (The Quick Snapshot)

Pinnacle Club is a gated residential community built around The Pinnacle Golf Club, located on Cedar Creek Lake about 70 minutes from Dallas. The community includes roughly 7.5 miles of shoreline plus homesites on the golf course and in wooded interior sections, giving buyers options at multiple price tiers.

Think:

• A private-feeling lake community

• Anchored by a full country-club amenity set

• With social membership baked into ownership (more on that below)

The Resort-Style Amenities (What You Get Here)

Pinnacle is one of the few Cedar Creek neighborhoods where the clubhouse isn’t an afterthought — it’s the center of gravity. The Pinnacle Golf Club+2The Pinnacle Golf Club+2

Clubhouse + Dining + Social Calendar

Owners get access to:

• A lakeside clubhouse and restaurant

• Member events and a real “club community” vibe

This matters because it creates year-round activity, not just summer-weekend traffic.

Pool, Fitness, Tennis & Pickleball

Property ownership includes a social membership that gives access to:

• Junior-Olympic size pool

• 24-hour fitness center / workout space

• Tennis courts and pickleball courts

The Golf Experience

Pinnacle is built around a private 18-hole course and golf memberships are available separately for those who want full golf privileges. Sunrise Point at Cedar Creek Lake+2CandysDirt.com+2

Why this is a value driver: golf doesn’t just add fun — it expands the buyer pool, supports stronger resale consistency, and keeps the community “alive” even outside lake season.

Homesites & Home Types (Lakefront, Golf-Course, Forest)

Pinnacle offers three distinct living styles inside one gated neighborhood: The Pinnacle Golf Club

1. Waterfront homesites
   For buyers who want true lake-first living: shoreline, boathouses, open-water views, and classic Cedar Creek weekends.

2. Golf course homesites
   These are extremely popular for full-time and lock-and-leave second-home buyers: great scenery, lower dock maintenance, and easy access to the club. Cedar Creek Lake Guide+1

3. Forest / interior properties
   Often the best entry point into Pinnacle if you want the amenities and gated lifestyle without paying lakefront premiums.

Bottom line: Pinnacle lets you choose your lifestyle priority first (water vs golf vs privacy) and then match a price point to it.

The Membership & HOA Structure (What Buyers Should Know)

Here’s the “attorney-brain” clarity buyers appreciate:

• Social membership is generally included with property ownership. This typically covers dining, pool, fitness, tennis/pickleball, and member events. Cedar Creek Lake Guide+2Zillow+2

• Golf membership is optional and separate. You only pay for golf access if you want it. Cedar Creek Lake Guide+1

• There can be a buyer transfer fee on resale. Some listings note a one-time transfer fee tied to the sale price. We always confirm the current fee structure before you commit. Lake Homes+1

When we represent you, we don’t just say “HOA exists.” We verify:

• current dues

• what’s included vs optional

• transfer fees

• boat dock/shoreline obligations if lakefront
  So there are zero surprises at closing.

What Living at Pinnacle Feels Like

Pinnacle is for people who want a resort rhythm without resort turnover.

A typical weekend looks like:

• Morning coffee with lake views

• Golf or a quick range session

• Pool time with family/friends

• Dinner at the clubhouse

• Sunset ride on the water

• Quiet nights because it’s gated and owner-driven

It’s social if you want it, peaceful if you don’t — and that balance is exactly why so many owners stay long-term. CandysDirt.com+1

Market Pulse: Why Pinnacle Holds Attention

Cedar Creek Lake overall continues to see strong buyer interest, especially from Dallas/DFW second-home families. CandysDirt.com+1
Inside that bigger market, Pinnacle stays relevant because:

1. It’s gated + amenitized
   That combo is scarce on the lake; scarcity supports value.

2. Multiple price tiers inside one lifestyle brand
   From forest homes to golf course to waterfront, Pinnacle pulls a wider buyer pool than single-style neighborhoods.

3. Golf + lake creates a premium buyer psychology
   Buyers don’t compare Pinnacle to “a lake house.”
   They compare it to “a country club on the lake.”
   That shift changes what they’re willing to pay.

Is Pinnacle Club Right for You? (Fast Fit Check)

Great fit if you:

• Want gated, resort-style living

• Plan to use the clubhouse/pool/fitness/tennis/pickleball

• Love golf or want a community where guests do

• Want flexible homesite options inside one respected neighborhood

Not ideal if you:

• Want zero dues or rules

• Only care about raw lakefront with no community lifestyle

• Prefer a master-planned modern aesthetic over classic club feel

How We Represent Buyers & Sellers in Pinnacle

Pinnacle is a micro-market with micro-pricing. Not every “waterfront” lot here is equal, and not every golf-course street performs the same.

When Val McGilvra & Lis Arias represent clients in Pinnacle, we focus on:

• View and frontage premiums (open water vs protected, depth, orientation)

• Boathouse/dock rights and condition on lakefront homes

• Club proximity impact (some pockets trade faster)

• Amenity-lifestyle positioning in marketing, not just specs

Because buyers aren’t just buying a house here. They’re buying access to a way of life. We make sure your pricing and presentation match that reality.

Bottom Line

Pinnacle Club is one of Cedar Creek Lake’s most complete lifestyle options: private golf, lake access, gated security, and year-round amenities — all within an easy drive from Dallas.

If you want lake life with structure, community, and resort energy, Pinnacle belongs on your shortlist.

When you’re ready, we’ll help you compare:
