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 course

GreatCourse. I was really impressed by the maintenance of the fairways and greens. No crabgrass. The pace of play was fast almost no wait time at any holes. Slightly on the easier side. Only downside it was kind of expensive and they charge per person riding the cartAs opposed to charging just for the cart.

Way too expensive

It’s a decent but short course, that should never be +$80 for a round. Staff much friendlier than year’s past.

Wanted to Give it 5 Stars!

The course overall was beautiful, the fairways were in great condition. However, the green were in horrible condition! They were bumpy in general, not to mention countless dead spots from divots what were not repaired. The edges around the holes were not flattened. Two golfers we were playing with had over 30 years experience each and also were effected by the condition of the green. It was disappointing because I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of my first time experience at Pinch Brook! Would still recommend to a friend!
