Blue Mash Golf Course

Laytonsville, MD · 6.1 mi away

The 6,900-yard, par-72 layout features great variety with some wide-open holes and others that are tighter and tree-lined. Approach play is critical at Blue Mash, as many greens are quite small with significant undulation, and tall-lipped bunkers test the short game. The course features a 9,000 square-foot practice putting green and a grass driving range, making it one of the best practice facilities in the DC metro area.
