About
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.

Not worth it
This course is overpriced at all times, even with a county card. Although the staff was nice, especially the starter, the lack of communication amongst the staff caused an uneasy and stressful scene. It looked like groups took it upon themselves to start on the back 9 under no direction from the staff. Cart allocation was an issue as well. The staff has very little control over many of the basic functions of public golf course management. I will say that COVID restrictions do play a slight role in these issues.
Awful Experience - Find another course
Was looking forward to spending the day on the course with my adult son. He called in advance to confirm, and was told I could ride in the cart, as I have a leg injury. He was told “no problem” by the person who answered the phone in the office. However, once we arrived, the entire scene changed thanks to the crotchety starter. My son dropped me off at the office, my leg bound in a leg brace, wearing throngs, While he went to park the car. The starter asked if I was playing. I laughed and said “not today. I’m riding in the cart.” He said “oh, you need a cart? Not sure we have any.” First signal. My son arrived, and went to pay. He came out and he was asked by the starter three times for his name. My son had to show him his name on the list. He then asked my son how many holes we were playing. My son said 18. The starter looked at me and asked how many holes I was playing. I said “I’m going along for the ride.” The starter ran into the office for a minute, we thought to get the cart. He came out and told my son he needed to go inside since “they need to talk to you.” My son came out and told me I wasn’t permitted to ride, since they haven’t allowed that in 3 years. The starter couldn’t let me ride in the cart. I clearly wasn’t playing. No clubs, no shoes, leg injury, flip flips. I guess he wanted a tip for his bubbly personality. Horrible experience. No class. And the course is in need of sprucing up from what I could see.
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).
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to see you enjoyed our course. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back in the future.
