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.

Will play there again!

Money well spent by City on this course. Nice new clubhouse, new golf carts, well manicured course conditions & friendly cart guys. We also enjoyed lunch at the restaurant, great food and friendly servers.

This course has a lot of work to be done. Sand in the fairways is unacceptable for a golf course! Tough to enjoy.

The greens are in good shape, the fairways are in terrible condition. Arnold Palmer would be rolling in his grave if he saw the condition his course is in.

The course has always been in good shape. The new pro shop is beautiful. Lots of renovations. Hopefully, they turn their attention to the course, specifically the tee boxes. But nothing bad to say, great course. wide open.

The newly renovated Clubhouse is nice, the carts are new. The greens are good. The fairways need some serious TLC.

Greens are tough

The course needs to upgrade the tee boxes and the fairways. Green are very fast and true

Worth checking out

This is an old school course from 1922. It’s basically a couple of big rectangles but the holes are for the most part interesting. I personally prefer residential courses where it winds through a neighborhood but this is certainly worth trying if you’ve never been there… I play there several times a year And would play more often if it wasn’t for the tolls and the distance from my home.

First time was a challenge

There are no indicators on the golf card or the hole markers that indicate the overhead view of the hole to determine if it is a dog leg left or right. The greens were dead due to the cold snap and that made it very difficult to determine how I need to hit the ball.

More defined signage to hole 4 and back to 9 would be helpful since you cross the road.

The water stations had no cups for water.

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
