About
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.

Very wet
The course was in the worst shape I’ve ever seen it. It must have taken a ton of rain. Standing water in all the bunkers and on a number of fairways. I’d wait week to let them dry it out before going out again. It’s usually a nice short course. I will be back but not for a bit.
Similar holes
Amazing staff. Knew the course played less yardage but the layout had the same distances on consecutive holes. We joked on 3 straight holes we could have kept the same club out of the bag.
Greens were challenging but had a very choppy texture. Fairways were also half dirt at times. Surprising for August.
Carts were very pricy and course is worth it if you’re a walker.
The Pinch
Wanted to play somewhere different that was known to be a good course. Found a great deal on GolfPass for 39.99. Was very surprised that the cart rental was $25 per golfer. That got my price over $60. The good deal was gone! It was a good round none the less.
Great short course
There grounds are in great shape, fast green and nicely manicured fairways made for a great day.
My only disappointment was the slow group in front of us and no rangers on duty during our outing.
They all had no care in the world until we said something on the third hole when we approached them on the tee. The group in front of them was nowhere to be found or for them to blame.
Course Improvement
I was very happy to see that the course has been upgraded in several areas. There were flowers in pots, sand in the traps, and the greens had a good, 1st cut around them.
This course sucks. Not only is it super small, but the pace of play is incredibly slow. I can not understand how a par 68 course takes around 5 hours to complete.
Fun course
Fun course but a little pricey for half the course being par 3s.
Classy
The course added a second cut to the fairways and the greens are the best of all the Morris cty courses and really maybe only comparable to Heron Glen. Bottom line I know you see 9 par 3s but if you want a great course and some extra distance just play the blue tees. If you don’t play this course you’ll be missing out on a gem 💎
Way too overpriced
Cool course. Entirely too overpriced for what you get and the condition of the course. 9 par 3’s and bad course conditions for $79 walking is absurd.
Overall review
The course was in good shape. Although there were multiple par three’s some were challenging with water which kept it interesting. The greens had plenty of elevation changes which kept it interesting.
