The Concession, 1969.
The Ryder Cup Match at Royal Birkdale, Southport, England, best remembered for “The Concession.” With the outcome of the U.S.A./U.K. match hanging in the balance, Jack Nicklaus conceded a two-foot putt to Tony Jacklin on the last green. It resulted in the first tie in the match’s history. The pair left the green with their arms around each other’s shoulders. This singular act of graciousness is roundly considered one of the grandest gestures of sportsmanship ever.

The Concession, Today.
The Tradition Continues on Florida’s Gulf Coast. It’s a friendship born of one of golf’s greatest moments. Jack Nicklaus now designs a Signature Golf Course in association with Tony Jacklin, with an adjoining residential community that mirrors the ideals of Ryder Cup competition. It’s a course that celebrates the level of sportsmanship inherent in Jack Nicklaus’s concession at Royal Birkdale.

The Concession. A gated community set amidst the grand backdrop of Florida’s natural surroundings.

  You begin to understand the rarity of The Concession when you look upon the 250-year old live oaks, majestic hardwoods adorned with mantles of Spanish moss. There’s a feeling of sanctuary here, with virgin woodland uncut by farmer’s plow or logger’s saw.

        This magnificent panorama is preserved in a development that establishes new standards for Gulf Coast living. The Concession’s neighborhoods of Birkdale and Lindrick are uniquely situated to ensure owners the ultimate in privacy and the best of the natural environment. Only 255 homesites are available, ranging from one-half to over one acre, with views of a water feature or woodland preserves.
