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.

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.

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.

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.
