The plan for No. 12
The 12th hole at The Concession Golf Club embodies the strategic brilliance that Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin infused into their collaborative masterpiece. This deceptively challenging par 4 stretches 349 yards through a straight corridor that demands precision over power. The absence of major hazards creates a false sense of security, as the hole's true test lies in its compact green complex that punishes wayward approach shots. A well-positioned tee shot sets up a critical short iron to the small, unforgiving putting surface. The hole exemplifies The Concession's philosophy of rewarding thoughtful course management while penalizing aggressive play. This strategic gem perfectly captures the spirit of sportsmanship and tactical golf that defines this historic venue.
Off the tee
The key decision off the tee centers on club selection rather than target line. With only 349 yards to work with, many players can reach or nearly reach the green with driver, but the small target makes this a high-risk proposition. A more conservative approach using a fairway wood or long iron to position yourself in the ideal approach zone—typically around 100-150 yards from the pin—often yields better scoring results. Focus on hitting the center of the fairway to ensure the best angle and lie for your approach shot. The straight layout removes directional concerns, allowing you to commit fully to your chosen club and swing tempo.
Approach & recovery
With a small green as your target, the approach shot becomes the hole's defining moment. From your preferred distance, select a club that allows for a confident, controlled swing rather than forcing a shot. The compact green size means precision is non-negotiable—aim for the center of the green and let the pin position dictate your strategy only if you're hitting it particularly well that day. Pay attention to pin placement, as the small green makes certain positions significantly more challenging than others. When the flag is tucked near edges, the smart play is often the fat part of the green, accepting a longer putt over the risk of missing the putting surface entirely.
On the green
The small green demands respect with your putter. While specific break patterns aren't detailed, the compact size means that most putts will be relatively short, making lag putting less critical than usual. Focus on pace control and reading the subtle breaks that are typical of Nicklaus-designed greens. Three-putting from anywhere on this small surface would be particularly costly, so err on the side of leaving putts short of the hole rather than racing them past on faster Florida greens.
