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. It features a 10,000-square-foot putting green, an all-grass-tee driving range, and a separate area for practicing your short game.

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
Blue Smash
Always a good time at Blue Mash! Would recommend playing there to anyone. Staff is friendly and accommodating.
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
Always a pleasure
From tees to green course is in excellent condition !! From the get go staff was courteous and friendly !! Pace of play was good and beer cart came at the right times. Challenging course and can’t wait to play again !! Thanks !!
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?
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.
The course was designed very well!
Everything was great, can’t wait to get back on!!
Played with 3 great golfers who made it fun!
Being a women most men don’t like to play with , they were fun and helpful!
