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.

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

Great course that requires a variety of shots

I really enjoyed the course and it was in great shape. What made it so fun was the strategy you needed. This wasn't just a driver, wedge, and putter type of course. I think I hit every club in my bag. I'm looking forward to playing it again in the fall.

Great Course but Need More Cold Drinking Water on the Grounds

I love this course and the staff goes above and beyond the regional standard for public courses,

However, we had an over 90 degree day and coolers on the course were running out of water. The beverage cart was not around nearly enough on this hot day.

The last three holes were a struggle, mainly because we were all out of water and the cooler on the #15 tee was totally empty. We did not see the beverage cart anytime after the #14 hole.

Tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers are excellent condition, as always.

Get more coolers on the course please, and please get a couple of coolers of water on the practice areas as well.

Disappointing

I have played Blue Mash on several occasions in the past, albeit this is the first outing there this year. The pace of play was poor, which was not entirely unexpected given the holiday; however, the ranger did not actively try to make things better. Our electric cart lacked sand/sand holders, died after 5 holes, and the replacement cart had issues with the right front tire. The portapotties had no sanitizer.
