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.

Course in good shape

Course was in really good shape. Pace of play was good, and Marshall kept it moving. I liked the course layout. I think it’s a course that most golfers will enjoy.

Blue Mash

Course lacks next hole direction sign maybe 3 holes. We were following a father who was slowly teaching his young son how to play. One of our carts ran out of battery at the 12 hole. Difficult greens due to lots of sand aeration

Once great

This course was once great and seeing that most of the reviews here have only one rated course I can only assume they are doing there own work. How can conditions be perfect on a day after they aerated? (in a recent post). They care about the money. How can one up charges and have a course go down in conditions?

Making me blue Blue Mash

Recently purchased by the Kemper Group, and a 20% increase in green fees soon followed

It may be that since I’ve played here so often that it seems to be a bit steep compared to surrounding green fees, but at least it now includes a small bucket.

There was a 1/2 hour fog delay so things got bunched up but to their credit, they kept it moving as best they could but still came out to a five hour round.

All the groups we could see never seemed out of position and everyone played at a fast as pace would allow

My suggestion for the team would to rotate the grass more frequently as even with a mid morning tee time, the grass between the ropes was mostly dirt, and a very large portion of the remaining range is lost to disease so maybe need to bring the mats back until they can recover

The course itself is in really good shape, greens rolling nicely save for the losers who won’t fix their ball marks. Golf’s recent uptick in popularity seems to coincide with new players who don’t understand the importance of this small task

Overall, always enjoy the course but may not play as often as the fee increase just feels to high to me
