The plan for No. 4
The 4th hole at Liberty National serves as a memorable par 3 that showcases the course's stunning Manhattan skyline views, including glimpses of the Statue of Liberty. This challenging one-shotter demands precision with its well-protected green surrounded by strategic bunkering. Known for requiring a delicate approach shot, it exemplifies Liberty National's commitment to high-quality shot-making.
Off the tee
From the tee, you'll typically need a mid to long iron depending on wind conditions and pin position. The key is selecting enough club to carry any front protection while avoiding going long into trouble. Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot - the small green demands precision over power. Aim for the center of the green unless you're confident in your distance control, as the putting surface offers limited margin for error.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your tee shot IS your approach shot. Focus on a high, soft landing that will hold the small green. Pay close attention to wind direction, as the exposed location near the Hudson River can create swirling conditions. The green's compact size means even slight misses can leave challenging recovery shots, so commit fully to your club selection and target.
On the green
The putting surface features subtle undulations that can catch players off guard. Read putts carefully, as the small green can create deceptive breaks. Pin positions in the back portion of the green are particularly challenging, requiring precise distance control on approach shots. Focus on getting your first putt close rather than being overly aggressive, as three-putts can quickly turn a scoring opportunity into a bogey or worse.
