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.

Great layout, but conditions and pace of play?!

One of the better layouts in the area, but obviously gets heavy play. Divots not filled in and plenty of unrepaired ballmarks on the green. Shouldn't be waiting as the second group out. Relatively minor complaints though - will be back and highly recommended.

Love playing here

The course is always in good shape and it doesn't get as much play as some of the county owned courses so it is usually taken care of. The staff is excellent and the price is right.

Great Shape

Course is in great shape. Booked on a dealtime, I'm not sure I'd spend the full $94 to play. Pace of play was great for us playing in just under 4 hours, now the group behind did fall a few holes behind so perhaps pace of play depends on whos out there. No blind shots which is great.

Very Nice Course

Blue Mash is always a very good course. The greens were in excellent shape. The tee boxes were in good shape but lots of divots. The fairways were in great shape. The main problem I had with todays round was the pace of play. It was very slow today and I saw no marshalls on the course to speed things up.

Thank you, we monitor all play via GPS and send someone out when there is a slow group. We had some problem groups yesterday. We will do better.

Greens to slow

Laytonsville’s greens are running faster. Your greens should match the rest of your course conditions

Out of towner

Always seen this course on golf now. And the rate of $90 was always a little steep to pay for when your not that good. So I got it for $62 during the week. Got paired up with 3 other locals. Seemed we all were playing pretty good today. Carts GPs was excellent. Greens were great. The ball rolled well. Fairways were excellent. Tee boxes good shape. Sand traps good shape. Had no issues with this course what so ever. Beautiful day out. Got done in 3 hours 40 minutes with 4 some in front of us.

Greens were in great shape. The layout had me use every club in my bag. Challenged the best player in our foursome but playable for the highest handicap in our group. Grass driving range was a bonus. Drove an hour to get there and would do it again.

Suspected Covid infection

Played here for the first time 2 weeks ago and enjoyed the course. However it appears that I may have caught Covid here. I have not stepped out of my house other than a hike with family and this golf outing in the past 2 weeks and I tested positive yesterday after 10 days of daily low grade fever.

I had played at MCG course at Needwood 2 weeks before and was impressed with the effort taken by staff there to sanitize and clean the carts after every use. I do not know if the staff at Blue Mash are as diligent about this and would strongly advise players to take their own cleaning supplies and sanitize the cart before use.

Hopefully mine was an isolated case but I want to make sure it does not happen to anyone else.
