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.

The course is good. But too slow due to some beginners didn’t follow course rules and took too long on green and hit multiple balls, ignore other team waiting there. It took over 4 hours to finish the game. Normally 3 hours is enough. The course manager should educate this kind of players and keep normal pace.speed on course.

Second Time Here

It’s not bad. For a shorter course, it’s not awful. The conditions were pretty good for November. For next season, they will definitely need fresh sand for the bunkers.

BARRY

Barry the starter has to CHILL OUT. Pace of play was a bit slow in the afternoon. Course was in great condition. Played till dark. Beware of the bear on the back nine. Took a little while to get back to the clubhouse.

Good course

Course was in great condition and pretty good value. The course is pretty short with 9 or so par 3 holes, would have enjoyed a couple more par 5s. Good round and will definitely be returning.

Make the Best outta of it

Very Hot day . Booking w GolfNow is misleading . You book it for $52 & Then when you show up they tag you for another $18 ... no big deal , but the course is only worth $52 all in ... slow pace of play, kinda takes the sail outta your winds . I got on a stretch of birdies then outta nowhere I’m waiting on the tee box . Nothing more frustrating! Thank god for the REAL GREEN ! Ya heard ?

First time at Pinch Brook

First time at this course and overall it was an enjoyable experience. Course play was slow on the front 9 but picked up on the back 9. Only negative was that there was no driving range, but I have come to find out that many courses in the NYC/NJ area do not have one or currently have them closed due to COVID concerns.
