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.

Zero management

They were about an hour behind on tee times and the map of the course is just 18 green circles so if you can’t see the pin you’re just hitting blind

Terrible Condition

Mayfair has never been pristine, but its current state is downright awful. Greens are dead, including the redone 12th which had sand all over the top tier. Fairways are bare with no base underneath what grass is remaining. It was really, really bad.

Pace of play was atrocious and that was entirely the fault of the starter. He told me to wait as they were creating groups of four, perfect, no problem. But here is the order of what I saw out there: threesome, foursome, twosome, threesome, twosome, threesome (my group), twosome, foursome. Those twos went off while there singles available to pair up. Instead every tee box had more than one group waiting all day long.

I used to play here all the time but I won’t go back until they fix the problems of their own doing.

Great greens

The greens are firm and speedy, and also there are not many flat greens.

The driving range is closed, but the are “cages” to practice, which is nice cause it’s free.

I’ll be returning, definitely.

Saw your money and time :/

From one of my favorite courses… to never going back… multiple times in a row I’ve been and have waited 50min+ post tee time to actually tee off.. average 3 hours for 9 holes even on week days… even when brought to managements attention an attitude is given. Course is very average too for what they are charging… and no range.. seriously just don’t waste your time.. so many better options around.

Buyer Beware

Coming from Ice Station Zebra, (Massachusetts) it was nice to finally get out and play golf again.

I can live with fairways with several bare spots,

I can live with early season greens,

but I can’t live with brutally slow play.

Honestly waited on every shot and tee ball.

Thats all I have to say about that.

Best club house

They have the best looking club house around. Now they need new carts and serious course up keep. This should become a very cool place to play. Oh, they should not allow 6 players per tee either

Slow pace

I love Mayfair but every time I play the pace is incredibly slow. If you play here do an early tee time or you’re gonna spend 5 hours playing your round. The new clubhouse is incredible, and the course itself only continues to get better though.

Sooooo Slow

I've played Mayfair a number of times in the past whenever I just wanted to play a local course that isn't overly expensive. It's been a couple years, and I cannot express strongly enough how disappointed I was in what I returned to.

First - The driving range (which used to be very small) is now an extra parking lot. No place to loosen up.

Second - They completely overbook. We had a 10:17 tee time and got there at 9:45. By the time we checked in and got our cart we had to get in line with our carts on the first tee. By the time our tee time came, there were still three parties in front of us. We had to wait on all 18 holes for at least one group to tee off (most of the time it was two groups). When we made the turn, the line at #10 was insane - it was backed up with four parties.

Third - The course is in terrible shape. They recently invested a lot of money into a new clubhouse, which is very nice. But they didn't spend any money on what matters most - the course. You could be in the fairway and have absolutely no idea that you were there. The course is scalped and has no good grass. The tee box is not level at all - When you tee off, you're not looking for a good place to tee up, but instead a place where you can place your feet that aren't in a pit. As you drive the course you're constantly hitting bumps - not occasionally, constantly.

Fourth - No cart person. None. At the turn, we wanted a snack so I went inside the clubhouse just to grab a Coke and hotdog. From order to receiving, it took 27 minutes....for a hotdog.

It was sad because it was a beautiful day, and I've had good experiences at Mayfair in the past. They're now a money grab - get as many people in as you possibly can, without any attention to their enjoyment, pace of play, or condition of the course.

Fairways need some love

While there are good renovations happening and the greens are looking better. The fairways are too hard to hit from. A little more watering.

Constant improvement

I am very pleased with how they’ve been reinvesting into this course. I told myself a year ago I would never be back and I’m glad I gave it another shot. A few tee boxes to improve but they’re working on it and I’m happy with course in total

Fun course in good condition.

I’m upset at myself for not having tried this course sooner. I really enjoyed it and it was well maintained. The greens are just the right size and rolled true. They are clearly putting money into the course and it seems that the new clubhouse is almost complete. The cost of the round was fair.

Good golf experience, far improved from the past

Played Mayfair for the first time in a few years but I grew up playing this golf course so I wasn't sure what to expect but used the reviews as my guide.

I'll be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by how much better the golf course was. The greens rolled really well and looked awesome, and while there wasn't a lot of frill outside of the fairways - you can tell they focus on the most important spots.

Still some work to be done, but I'm hopeful that once the clubhouse is done - they'll focus a little on some of the fairways.

If you're looking for a fun relaxed round of golf - give it a try!

Scruffy

Cup holes from previous days were a bit shallow and some cup holes being used had pulled up edges causing ball to deflect from hole instead of going in.UGH
