The Concession Golf Club

Private: A course for members and their invited guests only.

Est. 2006

The Concession Golf Club is home to one of the top-rated and finest championship golf courses in Florida. Quietly tucked-away in a woodland area about 15 miles southeast of Bradenton city centre, the course was designed by Messrs Jack Nicklaus & Tony Jacklin, their only collaborative design. The course honours Nicklaus's concession to Tony Jacklin of a short putt, on which the outcome of the 1969 Ryder Cup hung.

Bearing the imprint of two legendary golfers and course designers, this excellent tree-lined parkland layout contains a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes. Water most definitely plays its part here, not so much on the front-nine, but on just about every back-nine hole. Definitely a course that will challenge your all-round game.

Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.

Did you know?

The creators of The Concession course, Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin, also co-created one of the great moments of Ryder Cup history. In 1969, at Royal Birkdale, Jack Nicklaus's "concession" of a 3-foot putt to GB&I's Tony Jacklin, meant the two men halved their match, and the 18th Ryder Cup was tied at 16-16. It was the first tie in the Cup's history. Nicklaus's gesture, on the final green of the final match, was generally regarded as a wonderful gesture of sportsmanship. Although the matches were drawn, the USA retained the trophy as holders.
