The plan for No. 10
The Concession Golf Club hole 10 presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that exemplifies the precision demanded by Nicklaus and Jacklin's co-design. At 410 yards, this straight hole appears straightforward from the tee, but the architects' signature lies in the approach shot to a small, demanding green complex. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, yet the real test begins with the second shot, where accuracy becomes paramount. True to The Concession's reputation for tricky green complexes, the putting surface requires surgical precision to avoid leaving difficult recovery shots. This hole embodies the course's philosophy that while distance matters, it's the finesse around the greens that separates good rounds from great ones at this historic Florida venue.
Off the tee
The tee shot strategy revolves around positioning for the optimal approach angle. With a straight layout, your target line should favor the center of the fairway, but with a slight bias toward whichever side offers the best angle to the day's pin position. Club selection becomes crucial here - while driver might seem obvious, many accomplished players opt for 3-wood or long iron to ensure they find the short grass. The key is avoiding the temptation to bomb driver when course management calls for precision. Position your tee shot in the prime landing zone, typically around the 250-yard mark, leaving yourself a manageable mid-iron approach.
Approach & recovery
The approach shot represents the hole's true test, where the Nicklaus-Jacklin green complex design shines. With a small target, your club selection must account for pin position and green conditions. Favor the center of the green unless you're supremely confident in your iron play. The compact green size means there's little margin for error - a shot that's slightly off-line or comes up short can leave you with a difficult recovery. Consider taking one extra club and making a smooth swing rather than forcing a shot. The green's design rewards conservative play to the fat part of the putting surface.
On the green
Putting strategy on this small green requires reading subtle breaks and understanding how the Nicklaus-Jacklin design influences ball movement. While specific break patterns vary with pin positions, focus on lag putting to the correct tier or section of the green. The compact size means most putts will be relatively short, but don't let that fool you into being careless. Speed control becomes critical on a smaller surface where running putts past the hole can leave challenging comeback attempts. Study the green's slope from multiple angles during your approach to better understand the putting challenges ahead.
