The club's name derives from its designers, Nicklaus and Jacklin. The 1969 Ryder Cup came down to the Nicklaus-Jacklin singles 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.
