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.

The course was in fantastic shape (greens/fairways/rough/hazards). Even with the rain, the course didn’t soften up and played true. Challenging, yet fair. If you hit the fairway, it’s straight forward. If you miss, you’re penalized.

Great Course Great Price

This course was well worth the price and the drive. There were two holes that had some ground under repair but that didn’t affect the round as long as you avoided those bunkers. The staff was amazing and they deliver food you order at the turn to you on the next hole. Will definitely play again.

Blue mash always worth the money

We played when it was balls hot out, we teed off at 10am and it was 96 degrees. It definitely got hotter as the day went on. To help with the heat, they gave everyone a ticket for a free water, soda, or beer and came around 3 or 4 different times offering ice cold towels. That really helped with the scorching heat. First class all the way!

Quality Outing

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Although the course was soaked due to 1.5” of rain the night before, the course was in mint condition and the greens were true. I will be back.

Less shaded course

I’m a bogie player and I made a fatal mistake by playing on the blue tee. I ended up with 105 score because of the course being over 6700 on the blue level. I’ll play at the white tee next time.

I’m 54 and have no complaints over all. My bad for playing at the blue tee.

Staff members are very friendly but no beverage carts. 95 degree in hot summer without the beverage carts makes hard on my head and throat. 3.5 out of 5.

Solid Course

Course is well maintained and plays true. The greens really get fast as the sun heats up. Very open course so no need to worry about losing too many balls if you’re into that sort of thing, like I have been lately.. some slow downs here and there by some golfers who prefer walking, but overall not a slow pace of play at all. Awesome course.

Great greens

Good distance to challenge, perfect greens (no patchyness/spots - easier to read but with tricky undulations. ) Good stuff. 84 bucks via golf now seems like a good deal for primetime at a very well kept course like this.

Excellent Experience

Courteous and professional staff. Course is extremely well maintained with quality greens and manicured traps. A fair challenge to all golfers.

Well worth the effort to get there.

They could use a course book with hole descriptions and more yardages.

Fun Challenge

Course was in excellent shape. Fairways and greens could not have been any better. Course is very challenging, especially when wind picks up a little bit, but very fair. Only complaint is that given the nature of some of the tee shots, it would be helpful to have something besides just a scorecard given to you (could be something as simple as telling you how far water/bunkers/etc. are on each tee shot).

Overall, one of most fun tests in the DC/MD/VA area. I'll definitely be back again.

Always a Challenge

Blue Mash is always in great condition and this Memorial Day was no exception. The tee boxes, fairways, rough and greens were in great shape. The rough was cut, however, it was extremely thick and dense, so you could lose a ball easily. Most of the bunkers were in good shape, but they were working on the large bunker on #8 and had the entire bunker marked GUR. We did have a threesome in front of us with a walker, and they were very slow. The marshal kept following them and us around, which became a distraction. I know he was doing his job, but we weren't the problem! We kept the gap closed with the group in front of us, so I would have appreciated a little less monitoring. For the $84 price, I was surprised at the number of players (in my group--whom I didn't know--and other groups) who were errant and lacked some skill for this challenging tract. It seems I spent more time looking for others' errant shots than over my own ball! The course was in great condition--and I love the layout--but the people we were paired with just made for a long day...too many errant shots and searching for balls. The staff at Blue Mash is also very friendly and attentive...even the marshal was nice (although hung around too much). I highly recommend this course, but you might want to take your own foursome...you never know who you're going to be paired with!
