Blue Mash Golf Course

Nice Trek, play was a bit slow, but well within the posted average time. Nice day to play, great course conditions!

Always a nice layout with a combination of tougher holes and easier holes that present scoring opportunities. The course was in good shape. We were the first out so we got around very quickly. Definitely a good value for the price.

Took some buddies to play here for the first time. We had a blast. Course is in great shape. Rough was very long because of 5 days of straight rain. Only complaint was no beverage cart riding around at all. We will definitely be back.

Excellent course. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens all very nice. Conditions are the best around. Comparable to Waverly Woods. Very friendly starter who gave some advice as it was my first time playing the course. A bit pricey but definitely worth it if you can get the hot deal. Nice variety in the layout. An immediate favorite in the central Maryland area.

I have been trying to play this s course for a while. I heard good things and was excited to finally have things line up right so I could play. It's aeration time in this area so the greens were a little sandy but healing nicely. The layout was nice. Both challenging and forgiving. Some water carries on par 3s, mostly open fairways, one 460 yard par 4 from the white tees (intermediate)...not sure what that was about. Loved the course. Worth the rates they charge. Only negative is they close driving range on Tuesdays and I happened to be there on a Tuesday.

The greens had recently been aerated, a heavy amount of sand was on the grrens. Not an enjoyable day on the greens.

Beautiful on a beautiful course!! I am planning on playing again next Friday!!

Blue Mash is a nice layout and has a good practice facility. But our round today was ruined by the terrible shape the bunkers were in. Many of them should have been labeled ground under repair. They appeared to have been untouched since the recent rain and were borderline unplayable. To charge full price for conditions like that is inexcusable.

Let me start with the one glaring con with this course: Time keeping. We made the turn at 2 hours and 15 minutes (pretty good for a foursome) but one of the staff reprimanded us for being "10 minutes" behind and that the group behind us was waiting. Huh? What does that mean? . It felt like we were reprimanded for stealing cookies. This led to what every casual golfer can expect, bad holes and rushed shots. We finished our round at 1045 (4 hours 15 minutes after our tee time) which I think is great for a foursome, but obviously not good enough here?

The review would be unfair if I did not mention the outweighing positives. The course is beautiful and it was in perfect shape. The greens read true and the ball rolled unimpeded. The bar/dining area is extremely inviting and the 2 ladies behind the bar were beyond willing to offer their help. The outside patio is a really wide open expanse with views of the course and practice area. The practice area has a putting green and a chipping green with bunker. You'll need a yardage book because there wasn't much information on the course describing the holes. The yardage markers on the course are plentiful and accurate

If you have never played Blue Mash, you should. If you are an average golfer beware of the brooding "Time Cop" watching how fast you finish your 9.

Course was in excellent condition despite it being very wet and cart path only. We played as a twosome and the foursome in front of us was a bit slow and had holes open in front of them but never let us play through. We still played in 4.25 hours. Greens were a bit slow, but I am sure it was because they were not mowed or rolled that morning due to wet conditions. Very challenging greens with lots of undulation.

I have played this several times and it just amazing how the conditions continue to be great. As usual the rough is very thick and hard to hit out of. Only negative was no cart person during the entire round!! It was a hot and humid day....can you imagine with no cart person?

My buddies and I play Blue Mash a lot because it is pretty centrally located for all of us and it's a great golf course. They hired a new superintendent this year and the course is in the best condition I've seen it in many years. I've played 4-5 times this year - a few times the greens have been a little slow and the tees a little shaggy, but the last few times everything has been immaculate. This is really great to see because we love the layout and location. Bottom line - awesome course that is in great shape right now.

I love the layout of this course and have played it many times. My problem is that the greens are always running at a cool 8 (horribly slow for those who don't understand stimps). The tee boxes are unplayable and super soggy wet as most are 2-4 inches long depending on which combover you are playing off of. They grow the tee boxes long then lay them over to create an impression of more grass. The fairways are wet and 1 to 1 and 1/2 inches long. Very hard to compress the golf ball. I will say the staff is very attentive and try very hard to do there best. The course seems to be cut only once or twice a week. Not nearly enough for a course that touts itself as a daily fee and charges $95 on the weekends. The problem seems to be with the management of the course. There needs to be a change at the top as this course is too good to be in such horrible shape. I have also seen the equipment used to maintain course and it is ancient. Could this be the reason why it is in such poor shape. I have played many "daily fee courses in the area and this course is by far the worst". Please do something to fix this mess as this course is too good to remain in such state of lameness. Either fix it or drop your price as it is not worth the price of admission right now. Too many other choices in the area. The carts are terrible,old squeak and bounce. Please get new carts to reflect the cost of the course. No gps no rain hoods just old junk.

I've played this course many times but this was the worst I've seen it in a while. Shaggy fairways, uncut tee boxes and dreadfully slow greens. The bunkers are scruffy and not edged. For $85, I expect a lot more. I would not recommend the course, unless something major changes ASAP. I don't know what's wrong with this place, sometimes its okay and then the wheels fall off.

Staff could not have been nicer, layout is excellent. Hit every club in the bag. Condition of fairways and greens was generally very good, but tee boxes were often poor. Read alot about pace of play in other reviews, but rangers did not seem too concerned about a foursome holding up play from about the 7th hole on. 4.5 hours isn't bad, but should have/could have been better. Need to bring range finder/GPS. Definitely returning.

It's the classic story, great course with not enough maintance. If you are in the area or have never played there it is a must play. I drove an hour and 1/2 and will probably not be back. Great layout with every type of hole you can think of,; tight holes, long 4's, short 4a, water, etc. My one complaint were the the tee boxes, they looked like they used the same ones for a week straight. Especially the par 3'a. At one point I had to tee off a yard behind the markers. Just to find an area without a divot.

2 days after the storm, it was still dry on the green, but had few puddles in the bunkers and fairways. Otherwise, great green speed, course was in pretty good shape, great value for the money spent. Played on a saturday and did not have to wait much for my next shots. Will visit again later on

loved the course. as a 12 handicapper, who is about 225- 240 off the tee, the tees at 6500 were too long. and the tees at 6,000 are too short. Why not a happy middle, like Waverly, of 6300? Par threes at 190 - 200 are not my cup of tea either. So, just a suggestion. I will be back. Several tee boxes were a mess , shaggy, and the greens had been beaten up, not enough people repairing divots.

very nice design, you cannot quit on any shot , that is for sure

one comment, something that rubbed me wrong, and that was paying to hit warm up balls. twilight, late afternoon or not, you don't pay $5 or more dollars and then have to buy balls. did not like that.

our group will be back, that is for sure! a tough challenging course, very nice layout.

Really enjoyed the round. I played a few weeks after aeration. The greens were really good. I can only imagine what they are like mid season. I will definitely be back.

It's been awhile since I had played this course and I'm glad I got back to it. Greens had been recently aerated, but putts rolled well. The course is challenging from #1 through #4 but then balances out to more than fair. The layout offers a nice mix of water and treelined fairways. Can't wait to play here when things are in bloom. Pro shop and starters were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this course.
