Blue Mash Golf Course
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.

Ehhh...
Not bad but not a great value proposition right now. Too expensive for a 5 hour round in November on a weekday. Leaves all over some holes. The course is okay... At this price wait till summer.
WORSE
Pace of play is worse. There is a marshal but he is just watching the group people who are playing very slow.. no warning or anything.
Julian it was very nice speaking with you on the phone today. I'm very sorry for the slow play you experienced last Sunday. Pace of play and guest experience is our top priorities at Blue Mash. I was happy to hear from you that course condition and team members service were both top tier on Sunday. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Best value in the area!
If you are anywhere near this course, you should play it. 5 star all around. Layout, conditions, range all amazing! I’d be a member if I lived closer. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you!!
Great dsy of golf
It’s a beautiful course in excellent condition. Very well maintained overall with fast undulating greens. Our round was in 4 hrs. Not an easy layout, but fair, with a couple of holes requiring local knowledge to play well. I’ll certainly come back.
Thank you!
One of the fairest courses in the area
Blue Mash always provides a fair test.
Choose your tees wisely, trying to man up will only bring you pain. A fun course from the right tees.
820 tee time and still finished in four hours and 15 minutes.
One of the better practice areas in the region, with grass tears allowing for a proper warm-up. Separate putting in short game area make sure you are ready to go
Thanks!
One of the better courses in the area
Always a fair test, be honest about which tee box you should play from, course will bite you if you don't. They keep it in great condition, for some reason, No One fixes their ball marks, but nothing the course can do about that, so the rest of us are tasked with fixing our own plus several more.
Only complaint, please include a small bucket of balls with greens fees, or make them part of the cost. Sending players out who haven't warmed up only hurts pace of play for everyone.
A we bit of Links in Maryland
It was work finding this course but worth the effort. My 10:40 tee time was pushed back 35 minutes due to a frost delay. Would've been great if a push notification went out there was a delay. Maybe these guys don't believe in technology. Fun and challenging course. Nice mix of stretch holes and sporty short par 4s. Greens are generally large with lots of movement. The guys I joined said somehow the wind always blows here. It was gusting over 20 mph. Just some added challenge. The only problem is that the round got close to 5 hours. Rangers tried their best but could move things along. I would go back though!
Thank you and our sincere apologies for not providing the frost delay notification, as we normally do. This was an oversight on the part of new staff, as it was the first delay of the year. It won't happen again. Cheers,
Cart Path Only
We played on Friday and yea it rained a couple days prior however at 2:20 when we tee’d off there was no need for cart path only. The course was dry.
Thanks - we will look into that.
Great layout.
Great layout. Course in great condition. Tough but fair.
Thank you!!
Great Course, Great Friends, Great Time
Played Blue Mash for the first time today. The course was in great condition, course staff were very friendly, cart lady was amazing. I highly recommend this course if you are looking for high quality golf.
Thank you!
James’ Review of Blue Mash
This course was very well tended with very interesting and challenging holes. The staff was very friendly and visible throughout the course. Would recommend
Thanks James!
Favorite course
Great layout and friendly staff. My favorite place to play.
Thank you!
Too stacked
It was a really nice course and I would likely go back but maybe during the week next time. We went on a Sunday and they really stacked up foursomes so we spent most of the time waiting on the people in front of us and the people behind us were playing up really close on our group. Really took away from the enjoyment of the game. So much so we didn’t even go out for the back half.
Thank you for coming to Blue Mash over the weekend. We apologize and acknowledge the slow play Sunday evening. We had a few slow groups that created a back up. Our course advisor worked with them through the back 9 to keep rounds under 4.5 hours. Please reach out to jhines@bluemash.com, I would like to offer you a discount on your next visit. Thank you.
Good course, was slow this time
I normally really like Blue Mash -- layout, conditions, people, pace of play.
But this time it was terribly slow on the front and we actually had to re-play the front because the back was so jammed up. That's either over-booking or not enough marshals watching and moving people along.
They aerated ~8/22 but I knew that and greens were ok, as expected (7 out of 10) a week later.

Don't leave a club behind !! You'll never see it again!!
In the past year and a half I have lost/ had taken and not returned 2 clubs!! Year or so ago left a pitching wedge greenside-- didn't realize it for 4-5 holes, backtracked 5-6 holes asking and checked with clubhouse - never saw again. Same exact thing yesterday but an 8 iron this time. I've only lost and not recovered 3 clubs in my 30+ years of golf - 2 of them here within a year Like the course and staff but won't be back due to the seemingly classless dregs it seems to attract.
Hi, sorry about the lost clubs - I know how frustrating that can be. If you will email jhills@bluemash.com with the details on the clubs I will take another look through our inventory. Sometimes they show up later, for some reason.
All the best,
Will come back when the greens are all healed up
The greens were aerated so can't really comment on the course condition too much. We'll be back next month to see it in normal condition. Difficult but fair layout. Course management is key to scoring well.
Hi, we are sorry we did not meet your expectations. I do see researching our records that we had one group at 4:40 and a few others slow as well. We agree that is too long. If we can be of further assistance in a more specific manner, please email jhills@bluemash.com. Thanik you!!
Thank you for your feedback. I'd like to apologize for pace of play on Wednesday. We had a course advisor assisting a slow group for a large part of the day. We gave out coupons to groups that were effected by the slow group. Please contact jhines@bluemash.com, I'd like to offer you a more concrete level of apology for your experience this week. I look forward to speaking with you.
