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.

Great deal

Great course to work on your iron game. Greens are surprisingly great condition considering the long winter months. Highly recommended.

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.

Pitch mark city

Good little practice course-works for when you need to work on your iron game-only big down fall is it appears nobody fixes ball marks- every green covered in pitch marks…large “older crowd” who either cant lean over to fix them, or simply do not care.

Course was easy to walk if you’re a walker. Pin placement were challenging. The only downside was no drinking water anywhere on course, especially on a hot 90+ degree day. There was a cart person, but who wants to spend money for water playing 18holes.
