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.

Soggy but Great round

I have not played BM in a while, the course is in really good shape, even after several inches of rain. As always, people need to fix their divots - there is not a robot that does this

One of Maryland’s Best!

The staff is professional, kind, and “player focused.” The environment created by the staff is akin to that you pay thousands for at a probated club. As an example, one staff member was driving around in a cart checking on players and asking how the front nine went and if there were any concerns about anything! Another was perched on a hilltop between fairways serving as a forecaddie and locating errand shots for players. Each nine hd its own food and beverage cart and staff member. I was impressed with the level of customer service. The course conditions did not disappoint either. Fairways were pristine and the greens were fast and true. The sand in the traps and bunkers was consistent and well maintained. A very enjoyable round and a true commitment by the staff to honor this game we love to play. Well done Blue Mash.

Very overpriced for what you get.

2 groups clearly slowed down the whole course, Marshall’s very aware of it, did nothing. $140 for an almost 5 hour round is not ideal

Meticulously Maintained

This course is always in absolutely superb condition. I played last on a very hot day after an evening of rain, and while cartpath only was hiring, it was justified in order to preserve the meticulously maintained fairways. It is deceivingly difficult and gets more so later in the season when the brush grass lining men fairways in the rough grows tall. And the practice facilities are just excellent, including a driving range with grass tees always.

Great Course

I enjoy driving up and down the East coast playing golf. I try to play a new course every time. I hit the lottery on this course. It’s a must play. There’s not one bad thing to say about this course. It’s absolutely in great shape. Fairways are nice a plush. Greens and tee boxes are in impeccable condition. The price was right. You will not be disappointed.

Best course in the DMV

Blue Mash is the most fun course around, and twilight rates are a fantastic deal.

Great course!

Enjoy playing the Mash whenever there's a special occasion or with GolfNow's discounted rate. A bit pricey a part of my weekly rotation of public courses.

Very challenging both on the greens and the fairways. And I believe that is a good thing.

Beautiful course and well maintained. Has putting, chipping and driving range to improve your game.
