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.

Good course but John should be fired

Greens manager John watches his wife pleasure other men, I’ve never wanted to punch someone in the face more than John, before we even tee off he’s telling me what tees to use and how I should keep it quick. Yet he says nothing to the slow guys infront of us. Took over 4 hours to play with a cart….

Surprise pricing

Was surprised that the pricing was for “walking rate” and that it cost an additional $25 for a cart. Didn’t realize that until AFTER I booked it and then tried to cancel and it wouldn’t let me.

The course was in good condition. Challenging undulating greens that were tricky to read Lots of par 3s..,overall very nice.

Short course and too many beginners

Short and flat course. Played early Sunday morning. Course condition was fair with firm fairways and greens considering wet condition.

Pace was extremely slow with a full of beginners every hole and there was no ranger to control the pace. Frustrated that no one including the starter did nothing.

Great value

Good condition and friendly staff. They’ll let you go out early if possible which other courses on teeoff won’t let you do.
