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.

Very Good, Enjoyable Short Course
A walkable course as well, except for seniors and with sun, humidity & temperatures in the 90's.
Must match up riding golfers w/ only riding golfers
I had an unpleasant situation Fri 21-Jun-2024: I and one other gentleman were both walking and the other two in our foursome were driving. After 9 holes the other walking golfer was finished, leaving me and the twosome in golf cart. On the 14th hole the woman Donna said that, to get ahead of the sun and heat, she wanted basically to let the two of them tee off w/o me, such that they would play through me, who, even w/ 238 yd drive on the 14th hole that was farther than both cart riders by more than 50 yd. Even after I parred that hole, she again wished for me to fall back and not drive my ball until the’d reached the 15th green. I asked to join a twosome of one walker and one rider. Theses two permitted me to play holes 15-19.
I always ask the Pro Shop if my partners are riding or walking, and the Pro shop attendant said he didn’t know the walking or riding status of the others in my foursome
after the rain
heavy overnight rain did not stop this course from performing. grounds crews were working and despite some soggy spots, the tee boxes and greens were tidy and fast. kudos
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….

Lady at the pro shop was great but starter is a rude and grumpy old man. Course is great and great condition but will not be returning to play here.
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.
