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.

Double fee for golf carts

I ,, highly, object to charging a double fee for one golf cart in which two people are riding, That is a real turn off.

Beautiful course

It was my first time playing here. It was really a beautiful course nicely manicured and up kept. Beautiful par 3s hitting over water. It had a lot of par 3s, 9 I believe but also had a few par 4s and 5s. It wasn’t an executive course but it was still challenging and nice to play. The greens are nice not too fast not too slow. The only down side I found was finding the next hole location but after playing once you would know how to get to the next tee box. Extremely clean brand new carts. I would definitely go back.

Best course for the best buck

Let me start off that Pinch brook golf course is the best golf course I have been to in a long time! Best public golf course around, the course is always at it’s finest when the weather doesn’t beat it up. The pro shop is welcoming with an amazing staff, the snack bar was very clean and very pleasing with amazing staff member who help me and my family. Also can not forget the amazing prices I wish I can give this place more stars all around best golf course!!!

Short but challenging

Had a 6:30 tee time and took our 4-some 4 hours. Challenging greens made up for the short holes. Only 2 par 5s.

Good Solid Course, Par 65

Finished our round in 4:15 which wasn't too bad. I hear rounds can be long though. Course was in above average condition, particularly for a public course. Par 65 course so a lot of par 3s. Good course over all with friendly staff.

No rangers - very very slow

Course in quite nice condition - but no rangers so playing 5.5 hours for a par 65. It should be 4.5 hours max. Great staff ( the few that were there).

Labor Day outing

Holidays are usually busy, I get it, but not one ranger out there to manage pace of play? 94 degrees out and every single water cooler was empty, and to make matters worse, I did not see a beverage cart not once. Decent facilities, well kept yes but I hated this place.
