The club's name derives from its designers, Nicklaus and Jacklin. The two were paired in singles in the 1969 Ryder Cup, with the outcome of the Cup coming down to their match. Nicklaus made a testy 10-footer on the 18th green, leaving Jacklin to decide the fate of the match with his 2-footer. If Jacklin missed, the U.S. would win the Cup outright. But Jacklin wasn't forced to make it - Nicklaus conceded the putt, thus halving the hole, the match and the Ryder Cup competition. It was the first tie in Ryder Cup history. That concession by Nicklaus - when America still could have won the Ryder Cup - has come to be viewed as one of the great acts of sportsmanship in the game's history.
The Concession golf course is a par-72 track built on a huge parcel of land, 520 acres, and measuring 7,470 yards from the back tees.
