About the Course:
The Mid-Atlantic Chapter of CoreNet Global 2021 Spring Golf Outing will take place at the world-renowned architect Arthur Hills, Blue Mash. 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 conveniently located just 10 minutes from Olney, 15 minutes from Rockville and Gaithersburg, and 20 minutes from Germantown. 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.

 

About the Outing:

Our day begins at 8:00AM with check-in and a few warm-up shots at the driving range or on the putting green. Foursomes participate in a shotgun at 9:00AM. Lunch and beverages will be provided. Optional cash bar reception at 2:30PM.
