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.

Slight frost delay, still fast round

30 degree Temps in the morning caused a slight frost delay. Course dried up nicely by hole 5. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Tee boxes are in need of some care on the Par 3s. Alot of broken tees left on the tee box.

Overall, very happy with the round.

Great Course to Practice your short game on.

You'll have fun on this course.

The par 4s are of good length.

Par 3s are fun and somewhat challenging.

Great Course for your short game

Pinchbrook is always fun and enjoyable to play.

It might be short in yardage but it’s long on challenging greens.

Bring your waterproof shoes Pinchbrook often is very damp under foot.

Swampy after rain

Played after a few wet days, course takes a long time to drain, very wet and sloppy, it's also January so it's to be expected, nice short course to stay loose on, idk if I'd ever pay full rate to play it though
