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.

Just ok

The course was just ok. It's a strange layout and very short. Many Par 3's. I felt it was somewhat strange to have several of the par 3's over 180 yards (from white) when the course is only 4,000 yards and par 64. The bunkers were horrific. Would be better off filling them in with grass if they can't afford to put in actual sand. Fairways and rough were in good shape, greens were in fair shape but challenging. Not my favorite course, but if you pay less than $40 it's alright.

Great Course

Great course, especially for a straight forward not difficult course. The only thing missing is a better snack bar, but it is a county course so can’t expect too much.

Fun Track

Pinch Brook is a fun layout and great for extra iron practice given the nine par 3s. Greens were especially slow but some may prefer that. Will be back and surely recommended if the Par 65 layout is acceptable.
