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.

I was told that they run over 200 players a day at mayfair.Consequently, if you like waiting on every hole to tee off then this course is for you!

Needs work

Although a very popular course I don’t recommend playing at this time. Tee time was 9:00 but we didn’t tee off until close to 9:30. We got pushed due to a skins game with 32 people. Tee boxes and greens are in bad condition. Pace of play was ok.

No thanks

Starter made us wait 30 minutes past tee time to begin. Some holes we piled up 3 groups deep before teeing off. Pace of play was atrocious. Totally over priced. The course is undergoing maintenance so maybe it will be worth the price in several years because they have a long way to go.

Friendliest course around

I played with 3 local gentleman and it was a hoot. It's a titch dry but it hasn't rained! Great layout and nice greens. Only a part of one green on the back 9 needs work, but they all run true. Clubhouse staff very friendly and she greeted me with a big smile. Started round feeling good. Starters were nice fellas. Great value. I can hardly wait for new tee blocks to open on number 3. They are progressing nicely. Got 18 holes done in under 3.5 hours and never rushed. I'll definitely be back every time I visit from Canada. Glad I found it in GolfNow.

Mayfair

Built in the 1920’s the course lacks many of the features of the modern courses. However, in its day, it hosted many of the legends of golf. Fairway and tees need some loving care. Bunkers are more dirt than sand. Greens are fast and turtle backed. Short course, but fun to play.

Late afternoon starts are great

With DST, 3p tee times are great. Even on a Saturday afternoon, the earlier tournament was over. For awhile my group had the course to ourselves. Most greens were in good shape, only a few with bare spots and aeration holes to bring them back. Always a challenge.

A Good Course - Not Spectacular but Good

Quite busy this time of the year at Mayfair with the Northerners down for the winter. But the play did seem to move along at a decent pace, especially the back nine. Greens are quite nice - very fast. Fairways and Tee Boxes marginal at best. Mayfair is generally the cheapest Hot Deal this time of the year and the RATES are not cheap. Rates will be lower April-May.

Cow Pasture

I played here several years ago. Only came back because golf prices have sky rocketed and they had a Hot Deal, not so Hot $35! The course is basically a cow pasture! Other than the greens, they don't seem to care, or maintain anything.

Their check in has changed. I bought 3 Hot deals. Normally I check in and when everyone is there, we go to the starter. They REQUIRED that each person that I paid for park and then go to check in at the trailer. She could not explain why, I already had the ticket for the starter. So, I had my ticket, went over and got a cart and loaded up our clubs just like every other course we play at. Got in trouble for that also. Even thought there was not a sole around when I picked up the cart or, 20 minutes later, I was chastised for getting the cart without permission. LOL We did not know we were supposed to wait, nor did we know where he was. Water under the bridge, conditions were so bad we wont be returning.

Course is looking and playing awesome, little fast but definitely worth the money. Loved the new roadway to #10, and some of the teebox changes. Kudos to your grounds people and staff and look forward to seeing you again. Thank you.

Course not in great shape

Lots of dead spots - hard ground. No ranger to eliminate slow play.

Hey, it's muni, but a good test

Not bad, but not great either. Can be challenging. Bermuda in February is thin but playable. Most greens rolling good but some bare spots exist. #12 green needs help. City of Sanford, please finish the water treatment plant so we can have #3 back.
