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.

Dirt bunkers

The condition of the sand bunkers is horrible. The ir no sand in them and it seems like they have drain issue in them as well. A good amount of the bunkers have water in them

Bunkers?? Or Dirt Hole???

I’ve been playing the morris county public gc for a while. Considering the amount of golfers that play this course the bunkers should have sand in them. What do i mean but the amount of golfers??? There is enough money to buy sand

Needs some help, would play again

Starter was extremely unpleasant, really sets a bad vibe whenever you go near him. Greens could use some work, divots and bumps all over the place, most sand traps were more like mud than sand
