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.

One of the best overlooked courses in MD

Blue Mash has the feeling of a links and parkland course combined. You get elevation changes, great holes working around lakes and streams and two driveable par 4s. The course is flat out fun and a great challenge. Conditions are good and one of the few grass ranges in southern MD.

Challenging and in great shape

Blue mash is a tough course, but it’s in great shape so there are no added challenges from poor conditions. They don’t do a great job scheduling or starting groups in my experience, but once you get out there it’s usually a great time.

Blue Mash Gem

Great course !!! I love playing Blue Mash !!! The lay out is fun and challenging if played from the proper tees and I believe you have 6 to choose from. The greens are always in great shape and at a good speed. This time there were fairways that were under repair and some that were recently aerated ; my greens fee was discounted accordingly.

Blue Mash Gem

I absolutely love playing Blue Mash . The layout is challenging and fun for all players, if the correct tees are chosen. The greens are were in fantastic shape, but some of the fairways were under repair or recently aerated, which accounts for the lower cost of the tee time.

Nice to play

Ok course, with moderate difficulty. Front treeline, back pretty open. Wind could be a factor on the back

Are you sure you played Blue Mash? The description of a tree lined front nine and open back nine is not really accurate.

Tips

Played from the tips. Tee boxes and greens were in great shape. Fairways were pretty wet for not having rained in a few days. The layout is fine. Some holes take driver out of your hand depending on what tees you play. The first 5 holes will really challenge you from a distance perspective.

Best course I've played within 50 Miles

Played long but what a beautiful layout! There were no boring holes and just beautiful greenery! Greens were near perfect and despite cart path only on a few holes fairways were wide and plush! Can't wait to play again since strategy plays a big role especially if you miss some of those big fairways! Try to find specials through tee time or golfpass to reduce expense but course is worth It! Can't imagine golfers playing from back tees! Whites were quite long enough for our foursome of seniors!

So sorry about the slow play yesterday - inexcusable. We've instructed staff to suggest to customers that they may call into the shop if there are any pace issues on the course.

Course was in great condition. Beautiful layout.

$100 was a little steep, but I’d definitely pay it to play again.

Solid course with some fun holes

Played in a very wet day, so can’t speak to green speeds, but the upkeep of the course was very good. Design was challenging yet fair and overall the course was a pleasure to play.
