Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully on this 481-yard par 4, as bunkers guard both sides of the landing zone at 249 yards. The fairway widens from 38 yards at 200 yards to 44 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters have more room but must navigate the hazards.

approach

With the green measuring just 3,675 square feet (28x30 yards), precision is paramount on your approach shot. This compact target demands accurate club selection and committed execution - Liberty National asks you to play high-quality shots.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 415.9 yards from the tee, which could catch aggressive second shots or create challenging up-and-down situations if you find yourself in the sand near the green.

tee shot

Consider laying up to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is 38 yards wide if the bunkers at 249 yards concern you. This conservative strategy leaves a longer approach but keeps you in play on a hole that demands precision.

green

The relatively small green dimensions of 28 by 30 yards mean there's little margin for error on approach shots. Focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins, especially with the spectacular Manhattan skyline views that can be distracting.
