Get Out on the Greens: Blue Mash Golf Course in Laytonsville, MD is the premier public golf course in Montgomery County, and one of the top courses in the DC metro area. Voted topic public course in MD and VA by Washington Post readers, Blue Mash is less than 15 minutes from Rockville and Gaithersburg downtowns, 20 minutes from Germantown, and less than 10 minutes from Olney.  Designed by world-renowned architect Arthur Hills, Blue Mash features a mix of links style, parkland, wooded, and water holes. There are no forced carries so it is manageable for beginners and high handicap golfers, and low handicap golfers will find its length from the back tees, strategic bunker placement, and devilish, well protected greens plenty of challenge.

The practice facility at Blue Mash is among the best in Maryland; a 10,000 square foot putting green, all grass tee driving range, and short game practice area host some of the finest instructors around, including Clubgolf Performance Center and World Long Drive Champion and custom club maker Mike O’Barsky. Arthur Hills’ son, Joseph Hills, co-designed and owns the course in partnership with Tom Healy, a native of Chicago and former corporate banker.
