Architect Bob Cupp and 1992 U.S. Open champion Tom Kite co-designed this course, which was built in part as a land reclamation project in Jersey City, within view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. The course cost over $250 million to build and includes a heliport, a spa, and yacht facilities. Liberty National is one of the hosts of the PGA Tour's New York-area playoff stop (currently known as "The Barclays") and will host the 2017 Presidents Cup.

Liberty National is a very private country club; visitors are permitted only as guests of a member.
