Frequently Asked Questions

What's the story behind The Concession's name, and how does it influence the course experience?

The name honors Jack Nicklaus's famous concession to Tony Jacklin at the 1969 Ryder Cup, a true act of sportsmanship. You'll find that spirit of challenge and thoughtful play reflected in the course design, which demands strategic thinking over brute force. It's a unique tribute that shapes your approach to every shot.

Is The Concession really as challenging as its reputation suggests, and what's the biggest hurdle?

Absolutely, it lives up to the hype - this course is a serious test. The biggest hurdle you'll face is navigating the incredibly complex and fast greens, which demand precise approach shots and a delicate touch with the putter. Don't underestimate the length either; it plays long.

When is the best time of year to visit The Concession for ideal playing conditions?

We highly recommend visiting between November and April for the best experience. During these months, you'll enjoy cooler temperatures and lower humidity, which makes for a much more comfortable and enjoyable round. Avoid the summer heat and afternoon thunderstorms if you can.

They are an integral part of the premium Concession experience.
