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.

Challenging but SLOW

Greens were still scabbed from apparent aeration. Took us 5hr 15 min to play. Waiting on every tee and par 5. No rangers on the course to manage pace of play.

Thank you - we researched the GPS records and the longest round of the day teed off at 11:30 and was completed in 4 hr 44 min. We feel the greens are rolling well, but we are nonetheless very sorry you did not enjoy your day. We will strive to do better.

Very nice course

The course was in excellent shape, greens fast and large. This course has wide fairways and easy enough to play away from any trouble. I would love to play here again but the price is to steep for me.

Greens as hard as a pool table!

This was my first time plating Blue Mash and had heard a lot of good things, but I was disappointed!

No matter how high you hit your approach shot nothing would stay on the green! Not a single person in our foursome repaired, or even saw, a divot on any of the greens…and yes we hit plenty of them!

No warning that the greens were moonscapes

Blue Mash is always in great shape, usually one of the nicest in the DMV area. So I was unpleasantly surprised when I got to the course today and the greens had been recently punched and sanded. There was no warning when I booked on GolfNow that the greens were in this condition. They were not unplayable, but they were extremely bumpy, uneven, and sandy. I completely understand that greens need maintenance - I’d just like warning so that I can choose if it’s worth playing there with the greens in such terrible shape.

We are sorry, but Golfnow makes it difficult to post notices that our customers will see. We recommend you book on bluemash.com in the future. We do feel that the greens are rolling well, but we understand people have different expectations. Please feel free to reach out to us at jhills@bluemash.com for more accommodation regarding your displeasure. Thank you!

Excellent course!

Nothing really negative ~ even the weather was great! I needed a right hand golf glove, but the shop didn’t have it. Disappointed but understood; the staff politely apologized for not stocking in the shop. We could finished the course in 4hrs; thanks to the marshal.

Best Course in Montgomery County

This is a players' course. It's challenging but not unfair. I loved this course. Not hilly but still has enough variety. At two places the cart path is too close to the fairway, but that's my ONLY criticism.
