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.

Golfer Reviews
Course has old beautiful oaks. Nice layout.
The course is going through transition I can see positive improvement. Good value for the money. Will not hesitate to play there again.
You can do better, Sanford.
We used to enjoy playing at Mayfair as it is an oldie, but a goodie. Sadly, that was not our experience this time. Had a great weather day and a 12:30 tee time yesterday only to be greeted by NO carts available, and a wait for them to come in. We began walking the course until the carts caught up and noticed that there were many foursomes with individual carts. This should not occur when you have that many players out a time. Staff was neither courteous nor apologetic.
Still no clubhouse to relax in, I get it....they're in the process of building one. But in it's absence, it would be nice to have at least ONE cart girl available for water or beverages, since there are no water stations on course. Stopped into the temporary clubhouse for a beer before the 10th hole and cashier was also rude. "If you want something to drink, get in line."
Greens were in decent shape, but the fairways and tee boxes were goat trails.
Just not the old course that we used to enjoy. We'll drive further from our home next time for a better experience.
golf courses should have grass
There's barely enough grass to make the area look green. With year round growing season, there is no excuse to have bare fairways on a golf course. The bunkers had poor sand and you could damage a wedge if you didn't watch where you were hitting. The course was overbooked and the starter was overwhelmed, but he worked hard to get the lineup organized. We were only 15 minutes late starting for a round that took over 5 hours. They don't have a ranger to monitor slow players. The practice area was worthless. It's an inexpensive place to play golf and that's the only positive thing to say about the experience. We won't be back because I don't see much plans to improve.
Disappointed and feel misled
We had a beautiful day in Sanford Fla to choose any course and mad this mistake. Although the 2 gentlemen my wife and I were paired with, were delightful- the course layout is great, trees are amazing and the condition is terrible.
The course was solid
Overall the course was solid. I went with a friend as a group of two. It was a busy Saturday morning we teed off a little later then our tee time and got paired up with these two lady’s. Who were a little questionable throughout the day. But overall the course played solid. Pace was slow but still enjoyable. The greens in the front 9 were a little more challenging compared to the back 9
Average course till make over is complete
Some staff was nice others didn’t say much. Place of play was so slow in front of us but no one encouraging faster play.
Good time today
Very playable today. Greens were good, even #12 for the most part. It's growing back well, 75% there. Some rougher tee boxes, but that doesn't bother me. Enough grass to have good footing. Driving "range" under reconstruction. Hitting balls into a net. Good enough for warm up, but couldn't tell what the ball flight would have done.
Pretty good for the price
Had not played here for awhile. Greens were quite good and challenging. Even #12 green was better than before, although just about anything else would be better. Range area is going through an overhaul. It's always has been the weakest part of this course. Hit into a net today, but range balls were free. Had a good time.
Making improvements.HOWEVER,need to spend more time improving tee boxes.Overall,senior tee boxes are terrible!!
Nice
Hidden gem. Short but a very nice course. Green ms rolled great and were in good shape. Definitely gonna play this one a lot more.
