Pinch Brook Golf Course in Florham Park may be a short course, but it should not be underestimated. The layout offers all the challenges of a championship course conveniently wrapped in an executive-length course. Water hazards come into play on nearly every hole, including a pond on the seventh that is shaped like the state of New Jersey. The elevated and undulating greens putt fast and true. They present a test for even the most seasoned golfers. The par-3 holes are particularly tough. Most of them feature strategically placed bunkers fiercely guarding the double-tiered greens, that or a forced carry. The golf course is great for honing your short game skills or for squeezing in a quick but challenging round. Pinch Brook G.C. is hailed by locals as the best short course in northern New Jersey.

Horrible course and made us pay for a dart when we already did on GolfNow.

I am very disappointed with this course. I also want to say that golfnow provided us with the wrong price. They said the course was $260 between everyone including a CART. When we got to the course we had to pay $360 so they made us pay an extra $100 when golfnow already said that the $260 was included with the CARTS.

I really hope golfnow helps us out and paysh my group and I our money back as we deserve to.

The Worst Course Ever Played

The course is much too short, under 5000 yards. It was too congested that we finally finished by about 5 hours. It looks the management of the club is so greedy that they tried to get in too many people especially at the back 9. Never be back.

Nice course to walk

This is one of our favorite public courses. The only downsides are no range, no bar cart and no towel water bucket. They make up for it with gorgeous green conditions, friendliest staff and tasteful crowd. This course is perfect for walking and pushing. The variety of holes are amazing and yet not many uphill inclines. Highly recommend.

Nice walking course

Despite the end of season, course was busy. Definitely would go again. The fairways were in great condition. Bunkers were soft.

Highly recommend.

The worst golf course in new jersey

Had to leave this because the fact that this course has a 4 star review Is awful. The course is okay it’s a glorified par 3 course with a couple nice longer holes but nothing special at all. The course is completely over priced for what it is but the real issues with this course are much worse. The real issues are the fact that the course is always completely overbooked to the point that this short course will probably take you 5 hours, waiting 15-20 mins on each tee box. And the absolute worst of all is the ranger, what a tool. The guy is absolutely unfriendly and consistently disrespectful to guest, not just in my experience but many of my friends as well, pretty much anyone who’s played here will have a similar story. There are much better courses in the area for the same and even less.

Fun Course

Fun little course with just enough challenges, tricky greens and really legit traps (unfortunately I found a few). Group in front 9 was very slow looking for balls on every hole, but that is to be expected on an executive course.
