The Concession

The Concession Golf Club got its name and its signature golf course from Jack Nicklaus. In 1969, on the last hole, he conceded a two-foot putt to Tony Jacklin for the only tie in history. This great gesture inspired one of the best residential country clubs in the United States. Along with the golf club, there are only 236 homes in this perfect setting.
