As the newest addition to The Concession Golf Club, The Gimme Course is a cunningly wrought short course that opened in November 2019. This 9-hole routing was designed by Chris Cochran and the team at Nicklaus Design and measures just 1,088-yards from the longest tees. Tucked into a beautiful natural setting and within walking distance of the club’s on-site lodging; the routing was named one of the 25 Best Par-3 Courses in the World by GOLF Magazine.
The name ‘The Gimme’ acknowledges the famous moment of sportsmanship during the 1969 Ryder Cup between the U.S. team’s Jack Nicklaus and Great Britain’s Tony Jacklin. When Nicklaus conceded a short putt to Jacklin, it resulted in the first Ryder Cup tie and solidified that moment in the history of the game. On the course, flagsticks are marked to signify the 2-foot “gimme” distance, adding to the atmosphere of fun and playability.
This exclusive Florida par 3 golf course has templates of some of the game’s most famous holes. No.3 has a deep-stacked sod bunker and green similar to St. Andrews’ famous “Road Hole” while No.5, the course’s signature hole, has an island green representative of the 17th at TPC Sawgrass. The No.9 finishing hole is designed after the challenging sixth hole at California’s Riviera Country Club, which features a surprise bunker in the middle of the green.
Aside from The Concession’s Gimme Course, the club has also introduced Snake Acre, an 18-hole putting course that opened in 2020. This putting course is one of the largest in the state and is equipped with high-tech LED lighting for nighttime play. This highly anticipated facility was made to be both fun and challenging for golfers of all skill levels and is maintained to the same exacting standards as The Concession’s championship course,
The practice facilities at The Concession Golf Club include an expansive driving range, putting greens, and a pitching green. After a round of golf, the clubhouse’s relaxed and inviting bistro serves mouthwatering meals throughout the day. Members can also host exclusive events and gatherings in The Concession’s indoor and outdoor function spaces.
