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.

Greens OK, fairways, tee boxes not so much

Agree with another poster - greens are fairly nice condition, though the location of where pins were previously cut makes their appearance somewhat pockmarked - it was not uncommon to have a dozen or more previous pin locations within a 50 sqft area - (how often are they setting up new pins - and why withing a few fet of multiple other pin positions?). Lots of bare spots/sand on fairways. We saw at least three 5-somes playing - not sure why that was allowed (one ahead of us and two behind us), although the group ahead kept a pretty good pace, so it was not an issue. We were concerned, as were on a tight timeline, but this time not a problem. Rate was reasonable, so we might consider playing again, but would not go out of our way to do so. Playing the senior tees shortens the course considerably.

Still A Faded Beauty

I played this yesterday, a fairly cold and overcast day for Central Florida, as I got a Hot Deal for my buddy and me. The last time here, last October, the new clubhouse that has been advertised for some years (?) now has finally stated construction. From my personal observations, the contractor is not moving too fast and I would not expect completion before the end of this year.

Anyway, the course is an older layout of past times but still well designed, and the greens are, IMO, the equal of Bay Hill for speed and difficulty. (I've played Bay Hill a few times, so this is my personal view.) Some of the greens have a false front and most are tilted back to front, making speed of your putt a prime consideration along with the many undulations. Today, most pins were cut either far back or in front making putting even more adventurous. The greens are in nice condition, though the location of where pins were previously cut makes their appearance somewhat pockmarked, but the clientele seems to be good about fixing ball marks, unlike most local courses. The tees and fairways need some help, though, as some tees were tacky and there are lots of bare areas on the fairways. The water hazard on 16 is badly in need of water; some hazards have enough water but some do not.

This course once held a PGA tournament between 1955 and 1958 and it must have been a good test for pros in an era of wooden woods, old blade irons, and the wound construction balls of that time. Still, Mayfair may be a bit aged and shopworn but it's still a good test of your golfing skills, especially putting. I really like this course and can only hope the new clubhouse is completed quickly and that it can still retain the charm of times past.

Decent Course

This is a fairly decent course. The course has a great layout with some very scenic areas and fair share of water hazards. The pace of play was steady - we finished in 4 hours even. The staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. The greens are in good shape and very fast. The fairways are dry with bare spots here and there but I noticed the effort to improve condition with new sod in many areas. The construction of a new clubhouse and parking lot is in progress and the temporary parking and starting area is adequate but a bit chaotic. Overall, this course is enjoyable and offered good value on Golfnow Hot Deal and we will certainlt play it again!

Greens are good

Greens are good, pro shop is being built so expect parking lot construction. Fairways need more grass lots of dirt and sand but overall good experience and the value is good. Will play again.

Great course for the price

Now it’s no Augusta, but I really enjoyed playing here. Only issue I had was the pace of play because there was a very slow foursome in front of us, but that was not the fault of the course.

Practicing Golfer

Enjoyable course layout. Variety of both difficult and easy holes lengths. Tee boxes and fairways above average condition. Greens are in good condition with plenty of contour. New clubhouse & pro shop are under construction. Driving range is closed during construction. I will definitely play again.

Course

Course looks good, greens were solid, fairway was mostly solid. No complaints, course was solid. Played here many times and it looks as good as it ever has.

Will be a great local course once they have their bar/clubhouse up and running again in less than a year. Right now it’s a golf and leave place. Before, and hopefully again soon, it will be a golf and then hang out type place.

Mayfair Golf Sanford, Fl

Greens lightening fast. Course continues to improve.

Love all the work they are doing.

What they need is a cart person as missing huge opportunity to sell drinks and food. Also a ranger for those who move very slow

Priced right-Needs course and hole layout signs

Club house under total rebuild however very workable presently. Greens are good condition - little slow. Roll smoothly. For someone who doesn’t know the course, there are no Signage anywhere. GPS on cart shows yardage only. If you don’t know the course there are no layouts to show how the hole is played out. Nothing on the scorecard to show layout. Course needs signs with hole layout. Car attendants were great. Friendly and shared critical information. Course is priced correctly.

Needs Work

Course is in bad shape and is way too expensive for its condition. Fairways are some of the worst I've seen. They most tee boxes were not good, very bumpy and lots of dandy spots. Greens were in decent shape but were rock hard and very fast. Hope they turn in around since it's a good layout and a nice challenge. I would wait until they complete the clubhouse and put some money back into the course.
