Blue Mash Golf Course is the Rockville area's premier public offering. This Arthur Hills design combines links-style, parkland, wooded, and water holes. With such an interesting variety, the course is enjoyable for golfers of all different tastes and skill levels. With no forced carries, it's even a manageable course for beginners and high handicappers, while more seasoned golfers will be challenged by the length from the back tees, the well protected elevated greens, and the plentiful strategically placed bunkers. Water also comes into play on a few holes. The diverse mix of holes makes Blue Mash G.C. a true shotmaker's layout. In addition to the golf course, Blue Marsh is known for having one of the best practice facilities in all of Maryland. It features a 10,000-square-foot putting green, an all-grass-tee driving range, and a separate area for practicing your short game.

Slow play. No marshal. And a 2-day old sandwich.

Carts have a card encouraging players to report slow play. Well, when we became the fourth group on the first par 5, I called. “Sorry, no marshal because it’s a weekday.” Ordered a chicken salad wrap. Was given a shrink wrapped wrap dated 2 days prior.

Cart Path Only Unnecessary

The course is great. But it was Carr path only on a beautiful day. We never saw any standing water and it had been a few days since the last rainfall. The course was dry and perfect, but management refused to lift cart path only. Would have rather walked, but came in from out of town and didn’t have a push cart. People were leaving balls all over the course from errant shots. It was slow because of the cart path only restrictions. Love this course, but they are unnecessarily paranoid about golf carts.

Like the Course and Staff

Nice course and great staff. It annoys me when I pay a lot for a round and then they charge for balls.

Nice Course

Nice course. Pace was good and the course was in good shape. Altogether it’s a tad expensive and they make you pay for range balls. ☹️

Great Track

Always in good condition, I play early and there’s never been an issue with pace of play. Challenging holes mixed with wide open holes, lots of fun.

Just Average

Pace of play was slow to start but evened out, we still waited on most of the holes. It appeared the course management was catering to a special group of players that had large groups, and multiple carts on each hole - we never saw the beverage person, although we saw them going specically to certain group. The prices are too high. $38 for a pitcher of beer with automatic 18% tip... deflating way to end the round

Bot the value it used to be

Greens fees have increased dramatically over the last few years

Overall the course is in good shape, the tee boxes are very chewed up. There were no carts available at check in but the person at the front desk was good enough to bring one up personally, although he had to bring another because the first was full of trash.

The second one had not been charged between rounds and died one 12. They did bring a

Best April Conditions in DC for Public Course

All aspects of the course were in great shape - tee boxes, greens, and fairways. Excellent value this time of year!

Windy weather
Walked

Great course, some bumps along the way….

Great round of golf for the first outing of the season. Had a great foursome. Teed off on time and only had to wait a few minutes on each tee box until 17….then it was back up 5 groups! Seemed like some junior PGA tournament was going on, but not sure…my tee time was originally 12:10PM but got bumped an hour to 1:10PM due to the tournament…they threw in free range balls…I paid through the GolfNow app (first time using it), but they charged me at the course until I realized it and then it was a bit of a run around to get it refunded…food is priced very high…not worth buying. that said, I’ll be back, and bring my own food.

Almost Lonks

There were a few holes that could have been played off the path but understand the process.
