Blue Mash Golf Course

Started earlier than our tee time. We were able to keep a quick pace of play finished in about 3.5 hours.

The course has some wide open fairways and a few that are more challenging. They are all very well kept.

The service is outstanding. Due to MD's laws they couldn't serve my beer before 10. I ordered before leaving and promptly at 10 there was a cart at my hole delivering the beer.

Blue Mash remains one of the better options for golf in the Washington DC Metro area and is fairly convenient to Baltimore area golfers as well. The first three holes are as tough of a start as any track in the area.

Course was in decent shape the day I played; while the fairways were not green that's down to the time of year more than anything (it's usually well maintained).

The back nine has water come into play for several holes and a wide variety of holes.

Although carts are included it's not a bad walk; holes are close together and there aren't any big elevation changes (we did see a couple groups walking).

Greens were rolling pretty true (they had not punched/aerated their greens yet), and while the range was open the green grass area wasn't yet (due to the time of year/cold snap we had in March- it was covered). They had mats in use. There's a practice green and a short game green as well.

Pace of play the day I played was outstanding (may be the weather kept people away).

Beautiful warm winter day. Course was difficult but good shots are rewarded. Good deal of water in play. Played in under 4 1/2 hours on a Sunday which was amazing.

we paid the price of the temperature outside!30 degrees !but had a fantastic time, definitely challenging course link definitely tries again in the warmer months .we finish playing in the snow.

Each hole has a different character that challenges you to your fullest, at the same time this course is forgiving in its own way.

We were second off. First group let us thru on second hole. We played in 2 hrs and 55 minutes. Living in Montgomery County for 43 years I've found conditions are always above average. Everyone at the course was more than welcoming

Layout is weird??? Lots of blind shots to areas you would never think they would make you hit towards. Marshall told us NO riding in rough Rough in perfect condition( Only positive) and irrigated, so little chance of damage (and very few players). Greens slow, untrue and pock marked Two regulars (one a MEMBER) said the course was in the BEST shape it had been in in years!!!! They even said it is WAY OVERPRICED! Will never come back!

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?
