The Concession Golf Club is one rare star in the Bradenton real estate market in Florida. This club’s idea germinated from that magical moment in the 1969 Ryder Cup when Jack Nicklaus conceded a putt to Tony Jacklin for them to tie their classic final round. Two cities, Bradenton and Sarasota, can take pride in hosting this tribute to friendship through golf, as The Concession is located between their boundaries.
This unifying location also comes as more than a blessing, for in very practical terms it gives the golf enclave’s residential community in close proximity to the commercial and business centers of Bradenton and Sarasota, and to their hubs for entertainment, culture, arts, and sports. Moving to and from the community is easy from Interstate 75 that is only two miles from The Concession. Gulf Coast attractions, like the charming, nearby beaches and real estate on Siesta Key, are hence added lures to living within the 2,500-acre golf complex.
The more immediate community benefits and club member privileges in The Concession real estate property are eloquently pronounced in a 33,000-square-foot colonial style clubhouse. More than the inspiring golf links vistas that its spacious verandahs provide, the clubhouse also affords exciting dining privileges and other amenities like private meeting rooms, card rooms, full-service locker rooms, and a pro shop. Available in a separate sports facility are tennis courts, an outdoor pool, a spa, and fitness center.
The Concession’s coup de grace is but certainly its 530-acre, 18-hole, par72 golf course designed no less by Nicklaus and Jacklin. Together, they assembled an impeccable layout lush with nature reserves and intricate challenges in its high slope rating and tricky sand traps. The fine playing conditions in this course immediately caught the attention of Golf Digest magazine which it hailed as the best new golf course in 2006. The same publication also cited the club as having one of the most excellent golf practice areas in the US.
Built-up homes in The Concession are still few because the residential community is fairly young. Price points of sales-listed residences can be truly grand. The range can start from a $2.5-million, 6,079-square-foot, two-story home and escalate to an offering for a $6 million, 11,300-square-foot residence. The Concession homes for sale in a realtor’s inventory indeed may be too limited to upscale options. Nevertheless, there are many vacant home lots to be found in Concession real estate listings, ranging from the $100s to $1 million in price, a range that can open wider chances to be a part of this wonderful community.
