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.

Winter golf

Everything was very good except the traps which is acceptable for winter golf I have no problem taking the ball out of the bunker and playing it alongside the bunker. I drive 25 miles from Bergen county to play this course . Bergen County should take a lesson how to keep a course cleaning and enjoyable during the winter..

Not bad for the winter season

Winter season of 23/24- we had some crazy weather but despite all that the course was still playable. Some of the holes need some care. The course was full and pace of play was consistent.
