The Concession Golf Club

The Concession Golf Club, forever bound to the unforgettable Ryder Cup moment that birthed its name, presents a stern test crafted from the spirit of sportsmanship. Carved into the mature, rolling woodlands east of Bradenton, the course, a collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin, favors thoughtful strategy over brute force. Its wide fairways belie the challenge that awaits; errant approaches are swallowed by unforgiving bunkers and subtly contoured greens demanding precise reads. While not steeped in decades of championship history, The Concession earned its stripes hosting the 2021 World Golf Championships-Workday Championship, showcasing its ability to challenge the game’s elite. The demanding layout, with its undulating terrain and strategically placed hazards, keeps players on high alert. Beyond the championship pedigree, The Concession offers a sense of quiet exclusivity and collegial spirit. Members often recount the tale of Nicklaus and Jacklin's shared vision on the 18th at Royal Birkdale, a testament to the enduring power of respect and camaraderie at the heart of the game.
