  • Blue Mash Golf Course (Laytonsville, MD - Arthur Hills)

    TGC2019 Course Name: Blue Mash GC v1


    Voted the Best Golf Course in Montgomery County by the Montgomery Gazette readers and listed as one of the Top Ten Rated Courses in the Washington Area by Golf Advisor, Blue Mash Golf Course is easily accessible from Washington D.C., Frederick, Baltimore and Northern Virginia.

    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 alike, though low handicap players will find the course’s length, strategic bunker placement, and devilishly well-protected greens offer plenty of challenge.

    Blue Mash Golf Course gets its name from the property’s original name “Blue Marsh,” referring to the blue clay of the marshy, thickly wooded land. Colloquially pronounced “Blue Mash,” the land was inhabited by freed slaves and made a stop on the Underground Railroad, harboring runaway slaves fleeing north to freedom; the stars and stripes of the Blue Mash logo pay homage to this unique history.

    This is my fifth published course and I continue to learn things about the designer and all the options available.

    There are several courses in TGC2019 returned with a search for "Blue Mash" but none are any good. This is the best version available and most of the credit goes to jpotas for excellent LiDAR work at a fair rate. I took a fair amount of time planting and recreating course features that will be familiar to anyone who has played the course IRL. Thanks in advance for any simulator plays this track gets. Give it a whirl and let me know your thoughts!

        I’ve played this course a few times IRL. Those first 2 holes are really tough! Thank you for making this one interpathway! I’ll play it soon. Love seeing MD courses making their way onto the sim. Currently reworking Avenel for the Wells Fargo this year.
