The plan for No. 6
The sixth hole marks the middle chapter of Liberty National's demanding "Amen Corner" stretch, where this par-5 tests players' course management skills amid the dramatic backdrop of New York Harbor. Part of Tom Kite's masterful 7,400-yard design, this hole exemplifies the strategic complexity that defines Liberty's championship layout.
Off the tee
Your tee shot strategy should focus on maximizing distance while maintaining accuracy down the center of the fairway. With 548 yards ahead, driver is typically the play for most golfers, aiming for the heart of the landing zone. The straight layout provides a generous target line, but don't let the open appearance fool you into becoming careless with your swing. Focus on a smooth, controlled swing that prioritizes finding the fairway over maximum distance. A well-struck drive setting up around the 250-yard mark leaves you with manageable options for your second shot.
Approach & recovery
Your second shot presents the critical decision point on this hole. Longer hitters may have an opportunity to reach the green in two, but the small green size makes this a high-risk proposition. For most players, laying up to your favorite wedge distance - typically between 80-120 yards - provides the best scoring opportunity. When laying up, favor the right side of the fairway as suggested by local knowledge, which sets up an easier angle for your pitch shot. If you do choose to go for the green in two, ensure you have a clean lie and favorable conditions, as the compact target demands precision.
On the green
The small green at the 6th demands accurate approach shots and careful putting. With limited surface area, pin position becomes crucial in determining your strategy. The well-guarded putting surface means that approaches from the proper angle are essential - shots from the wrong side can leave difficult recovery situations. Focus on lag putting to the center of the green when facing longer putts, as the small target makes three-putting a real possibility if you're too aggressive.
