Mayfair Country Club
About
Opened in 1922, Mayfair Country Club is one of the oldest golf courses in Florida and it's still the only course in the historic city of Sanford. Over the years, it has hosted a number of famous players including Sam Snead and Arnold Palmer. The layout is wide open with a traditional design that is player friendly enough to appeal to novices and experienced golfers alike. Like most older course designs, the fairways are wide but the approaches aren't very forgiving. Water hazards come into play on over half of the holes and you might be surprised by a few subtle but tricky elevation changes. Mayfair Country Club is not a formidable test by any means, but there are a few challenging holes that will make you think.

After rains the course is in good, green conditions!!
After the last couple days of rain, the course has drained up. Greens are in nice shape. One or two bad fairways or tee boxes. Overall, it’s nice playing in these conditions. I would recommend playing this course and taking advantage of some of the GolfNow hot deals.
Recently aerated
I played on 6/4 and the course was recently aerated and very difficult to putt. They’ve now decided to not let carts in the parking lot, which is very inconvenient and overall I’m not as happy as I once was playing there ….once the greens recover from the aeration and if they ever turned the Fairways into something less than cow pasture I might come back
Mayfair Golf Course
Great time... New clubhouse is beautiful and employees are all courteous and professional
Great course, well worth the money
I always enjoy plating Mayfair and consider it my home course. The weather was hot, but we had a nice breeze and some clouds. It was generally a nice day to play. Everything went well until the back nine and we ran into several groups playing in front of us that had more than 4 golfers each and the pace of play slowed to a snail's pace. I wished they had a ranger moving things along. Other than the pace of play on this particular day, I really recommend Mayfair. Great course.
City of Sanford
Just a heads up from one golfer to another… the fairways run pretty tight together, so keep your head on a swivel because golf balls can come flying in from all directions. A few holes are playing with temporary greens right now, and there’s no full driving range — just a couple of hitting nets to loosen up.
That said, the course is lined with beautiful trees, the carts are spacious and equipped with GPS, and the clubhouse food was absolutely delicious. Overall, still a really enjoyable day on the course.
Great play currently under construction
Loved the play just be aware some of the holes are getting worked on and gave their tee boxes adjusted forward. Amending were great and prices were very reasonable.
Improved Mayfair
New clubhouse (under construction since 2021-COVID Delayed) is 5 Stars. Staff in the clubhouse is excellent.
Course: Improved since 2018-23. #12 green has been under repair since 2018. Always under repair. Greens are very good. Fairways are medium, tee boxes are sandy and poor. #10 tee box currently under refit. Good value for the $. Play Monday thru Thursday morning for little course traffic.
money spent on the wrong things
I love the story of Mayfair I grew up in Lake Mary and I have played it hundreds of times. However it seems like they are wasting money on the wrong things. I do like the new clubhouse and the new carts with GPS and most of the greens were excellent, but the tee boxes and large parts of the fairways were total garbage! as a patron I would rather have a trailer to check in at and a perfect course!
And no driving range, just an 8x8 net to hit into
hope they get it together
Good Value
New clubhouse is really nice. The greens were in great condition and the course layout was challenging. Fairways need work.
The best Public Course in the Lake Mary Area
We love playing Mayfair. Great course layout. Priced right. The course is in good condition considering the lack of rain this spring. Some of the T-boxes need some work, but I am hoping that will be addressed soon. Then new clubhouse is really nice, and the staff is friendly and ready to help. The food is also very good. I would recommend Mayfair.
Work in progress sort of
Greens were in good condition and some in excellent shape. The fairways were rough and for a few there were a 100 yard stretches of basically dirt and no turf. Pace was great even with a packed course today. Usually it’s much slower. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Putting free. Isn’t much of a green atm. No driving range and they don’t have plans to put one back in. New clubhouse is great and the food is good. The fairways issue has not been getting any attention for the last two years hence the loss on points.
Rough.Good food and service after golf.
Nrw clubhouse and food service very good. Golf very rough.
