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.

4 hour round this weekend!

We played at Blue Mash this past weekend. The course was in great condition with a variety of different style holes. The pace of play was the most enjoyable feature. Love getting out to play a quick round of golf during my busy weekends.

too expensive for what you get

This isn't a terrible golf course, but it's not worth what is being charged. The round took too long. Seemed short staffed

Thank you sir, and we are sorry you did not feel you got your money's worth on Saturday.. Please note that our pace logs show that the day you played only two groups the entire day took over 4 hours 20 minutes to finish, and they both teed off after 3 pm, and both of those groups finished their rounds in 4 hours 26 minutes. Every other group Saturday played in less than 4 hours and 20 minutes.

All the best,

Great Course and Staff

This is a great layout in near perfect condition. Staff was friendly. Ranger was super nice and kept play moving even though the course was packed. Food was great too. Enjoyed drinks on the patio after the round.

Tremendous track

Lots of holes that require you to make decisions. In great shape. Didn’t wait to hit a shot all day either. The opening stretch of par 4s is pretty brutal for most amateurs but I didn’t help myself by playing the back tees and duffing a pitch into a bunker. I loved it.

worst pace around

so blue mash is a good course, but steer clear and weekends!! The pace here is always bad on weekends. Always. No Marshalls on the course, which is one thing at a cheap municipal course, but not when we're paying $100. Stick to weekdays and slower times.

Thank you sir - the day you played Sunday was Cart Path Only after heavy rains Saturday, and our top "Marshal" was on course the entire day managing pace. Though conditions were wet, we reviewed our pace logs and virtually all rounds Sunday were completed in around 4 hours 30 minutes or less. We do see one group finishing in 4:40 and one group finishing in 4 hours :45 minutes - we apologize if you were behind one of those groups. Please be assured we are absolutely committed to pace of play, to the extent that we removed two slow groups from the course the day you played,. We are training new "Marshals" ("Player Assistants") and will continue to improve our performance in this regard in the coming weekends, as pace is the number one priority for the entire management team at Blue Mash. Thank you for your feedback, and please feel free to contact us directly at jhills@bluemash.com, if we can be of further assistance. All the best!

Great conditions

Played the course over 4th of July weekend 2022. For a course that gets a ton of weekend play, conditions were great, especially the bunker/green complexes. Fairways were really good and warmup/practice areas were nice. Could use a few more water stations and the beverage carts weren't out until we were on the 16th hole but that's minor stuff. Love the layout and sight lines from mens back/blue tees. Good job Blue Mash!

Blue Mash a MUST play course

Despite the constant drizzle and the 2+ inches of rain the night before, the course was in great condition! Greens were still on the faster side and the fairways were pristine!
