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.

Mayfair Country Club
Good course but overbooking and groups of 5 that won’t let you play thru very frustrating played 11 holes and left couldn’t finish 3:15 for 11 holes and when I pulled up to hole 12 there were 2 groups waiting on the tee box
Course condition continues to deteriorate
I cannot believe that with miles of beaches less than an hour from here, the bunkers are mostly dirt. Greens are slightly below average condition, fairways are spotty, and even the tee boxes could use work. Pace of play was good (9 holes in 2:10. Staff is okay. For the first time I saw a beverage cart. I live very close by so will probably come back, but I will give them time to perform some much needed maintenance.
Course is in great shape for this time of the year. Greens rolled true. Fairways had some spots but overall great shape. Pace of play is always on the slower side here but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the afternoon. Temporary green on the Par 5 12th, but even the temp green was in better shape than some of the regular greens at other courses around town. Overall, if you’re looking for good golf this time of year and not trying to break the bank, Mayfair is the place to play.
Poor Customer Service
I booked a round for me and 2 friends through golf now. While there was no issue checking in and playing, we got hit with terrible weather and lightning. We were able to finish the front 9. When I went to the clubhouse to get a rain check for another day, they said they could not honor it since it was booked through Golfnow.
I spent 20 minutes or so on the phone with Golfnow and they said they would need to confirm with the course the date, cost, and rain issues. They said they were unable to get ahold of the course. I called the course right after the call and got through first time.
What a horrible experience and I'm now out 60 bucks (me and my guests) and Mayfair nor GolfNow seem to care. Terrible experience. Will probably not play this course again nor use GolfNow if there is not remedy.

They have upgraded the quality of the greens and fairways. Greens rolled awesome great speed. Not much for clubhouse supposedly going to build a new one? People were friendly. Only problem is pace of play its always busy
Good not great
Staff is excellent. Pace of play was brisk - teeing off just before 7 we finished in around 3 hours. Only a threesome in front of us but they moved very quickly. Gold and Red tee boxes need attention. Parts of fairways are bad. Greens overall okay, a couple need work. A bit higher than I think it should be, but in line with the area. Hole 12 is a temp. Small snack bar limited but friendly.
Mayfair
The course is in good shape. The greens are very good.
Okay course
This course is fun to play and has rich history. The layout is a little dated but you have to expect that with a course that is literally 102 years old.
Staff was super friendly especially in the make shift clubhouse. Notably Alexis was very personable.
I will come back for sure.
Mayfair is in decent shape.
Greens are mostly clean and slightly quick. Tee boxes and patches of fairway are a bit sandy and dry (needs much more water). Value is solid as greens fees are 15-20% down from most munis in town. Staff is quick and friendly.
Club is run by the locals
Let me first say that the overall conditions of the golf course were very good. The greens were smooth, readable, but lacked consistency between slow and fast. There fairways are in great shape and the tea boxes for the most part were also in good shape.
It would’ve been nice if someone in the clubhouse had noted to my group that whole 12 was now a part three and not a part five I think they should at least acknowledge that to each player.
My teatime was the first teatime after the men’s club scramble. There are no starters or Rangers roaming the golf course. The men’s club can do what they want when they want how they want and piece of not controlled. We had three groups in front of us, all playing as groups of five I’m not really sure why the golf course would allow this, but clearly the men’s club is running the course and not the actual staff.
If you can play here on a discount, I think it’s a good value. It’s a fun course to play. I shot 77 for my first time playing. I would note that the club really should do a better job of managing the men’s club and the pace of play so that those that may not be a part of that club can enjoy the round. Our total round is 4 1/2 hours not bad however could’ve been done in 3 1/2 to 4 if we didn’t have three groups of five playing in front of us.
ok for the price
Greens in good shape, fairways fairly brown. IF you get a good price its worth trying.
UCFGA
The course was in reasonable shape for Mayfair. Hole number 12 was under construction and No mention of it was given online or at the course before teeing off. Some of the tee boxes were in poor shape but otherwise the course was pretty good.
