Blue Mash Golf Course
About
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.

Quality course!
Well designed course with some long par fours and very challenging par threes. The greens were firm and smooth. The fairways and roughs were manicured nicely. I hope to play there again very soon. The superintendent and staff have done an excellent job of keeping the course to very professional standards.
Great Conditions
I recently played Blue Mash and all I can say is how well the course has been maintained throughout the summer. The greens were smooth and fast considering it had rained the day before. The long par fours are challenging, however the fairways are open and allow for aggressive second shots. I thought the overall appearance of the course itself was great. Staff is helpful and friendly without interfering with the game. Pace of play was excellent; I never felt rushed or as if I was rushing the players in front of me. I played with a foursome on a Sunday and it only took four hours. Cheers to the maintenance staff and the superintendent for having a nicely manicured golf course.
New favorite
Saw it on GolfNow for the firs time and figured I should check it out. A gem, with a nice balance of links type holes and also the tree-lined fairways more common in this area. Great course conditions. Fast greens, lots of bunkers, water on some holes. Beautiful layout. Definitely a new favorite.
My one complaint is that I was paired up with a beginner threesome (nothing against beginners) that had ONLY 2 sets of clubs. First time I see any golf course allow that to happen,and it obviously made for a longer round.
Great Baltimore Washington Course
As a golfer that has been playing in the Washington DC area for over 20 years, I have to say that Blue Mash is by far and away the Top Course I have played. From the best practice facility in the area to the Outstanding greens, Blue Mash is unmatched. This course is one of a kind. The Open landscape and tall Fescue grass gives you the real sense of a Links style course. Blue Mash is a must play.
Challenging but Enjoyable!
Blue Mash is perfect! From the difficult first 3 holes to the wide open back nine, this course will challenge you without forcing you to re-tee at the first sign of trouble. Throughout the summer the greens continually sped up on me, and after my last round they were unarguably the best they've played all season. Living right outside of Baltimore I gladly sacrifice travel time to play Blue Mash.

Blue Mash is perfect! From the difficult first 3 holes to the wide open back nine, this course will challenge you. However it doesn't force you to re-tee at the first sign of trouble (which is great). As summer progressed the greens continually sped up on me, and after my last round they were unarguably the best they've played all summer. Living right outside of Baltimore I gladly sacrifice the travel time to play this amazing course.
Could be a great course but usually in poor condition
First let me say this is a great layout. I have played this course numerous times and every time I play it the course is slow and overwatered. This course is supposed to play firm and fast. I would recommend playing the course on a Tuesday or Wednesday because they only cut the course once a week ,yes I said once a week. I played the course on a Saturday and nothing had been cut. No fairways no tee boxes and no rough as it was 5 to 6 inches long. Hard to find your ball off the fairway. Bunkers have way too much sand in them and are basically unplayable. Worst bunkers in the state. Greens could be good but are way too soft and never roll over an 8 on the stimp. The staff is the best thing about this course. Friendly and eager to help. Food is good but takes way too long to get out when making the turn. I would recommend playing the sister course Waverly Woods over Blue Mash as it is always in great shape must have a way better superintendent. I like this course $25-$30 no way at $74-$89. They must be dreaming.
Great Layout
Beautiful layout and design. Great mix of links type and woodsy holes. Fairly open on tee shots, but has well-placed fairway bunkers on par 4's and second shots on par 5's. Greens are fairly large, but have a lot of rolls and breaks. Green speeds generally 8 or 9 on stimp.
Staff is helpful and friendly. Food is always freshly made.
Seaview Stay & Play Golf Package
Hi Guyping - I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by how nice the course is if you played it this Saturday. We are hearing nothing but rave reviews. We've cut the rough down to 2" and it is lush and tight. We also backed off the watering so it is playing much firmer and faster. The superintendent used a deeper tine on the bunkers for a few weeks this summer and they were too fluffy for a while, but they are perfect now. We have reduced rates for October so it is a great time to play.
