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 tee time through golf now

Golf now allowed me to make the tee time online through rheir site but would not allow me to use the credits i had on the account to pay the green fees.. Golf now is a ripoff.
I cannot recomend the site.as their policies are deceptive.

Windy weather

The course was in very good shape except the greens were still recovering from being aerated. I was able to use my TeeTime Pass book, but I was told I could only use it as a walkon and couldn't make a reservation with. I was shocked at how much the senior rate had gone up since last year by $20 to $74. I was told the regular rate was now $84, which is way too high. Golf is getting very expensive almost everywhere.

The Most Beautiful Course in Maryland?

I played the course while greens were being plugged and sanded. It made a challenging putting course untenable. To be fair, I was offered a discounted rate of $44, but was limited to playing the front 9. I'm not sure if I would have booked the tee time had there been full disclosure. Other than that...how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

It was a beautiful day. The staff was really friendly. The course has a lovely lynx feel to it. It's challenging but fair and best enjoyed by low-mid handicap players. Good shots are rewarded, but bad shots are not punished too harshly.

I will be back to see the course in a few weeks when the greens are rolling better.

Good course, but a poor value at $109-129

Blue Mash is a good layout and a great course for walkers. But at $109 (or even higher at $129) this is not a good value. Range balls are extra. Course is in decent shape but at this price there needs to be much more attention to detail. It will be interesting to see if new management makes needed improvements.

Not sure if I would put this in the monthly rotation . Would like to play it when the weather gets better hopefully the course conditions will improve . Still don’t think it’s worth the money
