In this paper we prove the sharp inequality

$$\left| P_{n}^{\left( s \right)}\left( x \right) \right|\le P_{n}^{\left( s \right)}\left( 1 \right)\left( {{\left| x \right|}^{n}}+\frac{n-1}{2s+1}\left( 1-{{\left| x \right|}^{n}} \right) \right)$$

where $P_{n}^{\left( s \right)}\left( x \right)$ is the classical ultraspherical polynomial of degree $n$ and order $s\ge n\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{4}$. This inequality can be refined in $\left[ 0,z_{n}^{s} \right]$ and $\left[ z_{n}^{s},1 \right]$, where $z_{n}^{s}$ denotes the largest zero of $P_{n}^{\left( s \right)}\left( x \right)$.
