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.

Greens are fast ...but....
the fairways and tee boxes are thin (at best). Greens are smooth and lightning fast!
Lots of tight lies, bad lies.
Great time with friends
Other then it being very windy we had a great time. Greens were in great condition and the traps were well maintain (I order know I was in 6).
Not going back
The greens weee the best part of this course. T boxes had little or no grass and the fairway runouts were just sand and dirt. Conditions over all very poor. We were told that there used to be a nice clubhouse but it was torn down and now they are operating out of a trailer. Really second rate.
Very,very disappointed! Been going there for over 20 years.First time this year.Fairways had many bad areas of nothing but sand.Grass was non existent on tee boxes.Greens had damaged areas.Would not recommend to date this year.
Pace of play
I would say the course was over-booked when we played. We don’t enjoy waiting on every shot. Several groups dropped out after the continual waiting.
Priorities
I see the course is planning a new million dollar club house. That’s nice and could add some extra income for the club, however more money needs to go to course conditions.. golf is all about the grass. A few greens need to be reconfigured and repaired. Fairways are too thin,; rough is bear; tee boxes are rough. Ambience is nonexistent. It’s not good when you tap a put and it goes 10 ft past the hole. As it stands now this is not a $60 course. Course conditions are what golfers want, not a nicer place to buy a $6 hotdog.
OVERALL RATING
During 2019 and 2021, I played just two rounds due to knee injury. I had right knee replacement last March and now resume playing.
Course was in poor condition - charged too much for poor conditions
Course was in poor condition but they were charging as if it was in great shape. It was a good layout but conditions were bad and affected normal play. Greens were very dry and extremely fast. Pace of play was fine.
Lyle Sr
Cons: The course is in bad shape particularly hole #3.!
Pros: The staff are very friendly particularly Willie!
Mayfair
Greens are n good to great shape. Some of the fairways need work, especially the 3rd hole. The fairway looks like a world war 2 battle ground.
Nice course, poor pace of play
I’ve came here twice and both times, the pace of play has been terrible. I understand they have PGA tournaments ongoing and such, but it’s very frustrating when you cant stay warmed up hole to hole since you have to wait so long.
The greens were in excellent condition, and the pins were in challenging spots as well.
Fairways were fantastic.
Naturally, since they had a 70 man tournament there that day, the tee boxes were a bit chewed up, but it wasn’t anything that would severly affect your drive.
Way too slow
We can never get a round in under 4 and a half hours. Even slower on the front nine. No ranger speeding things up either.
Greens are pretty good, but the course is overutilized. Lots of run-off as well
Slow pace!!!
Much too slow pace. 4 ball ahead We have never expirenced such a slow 4 ball at green
50/50
50% of the tees, greens and fairways were in good shape.
Fun and friendly golf course
very fun course and best greens in orlando. Friendly staff and comfortable environment. Will come back to play.
Some greens better, still need some care
After a cold spell, the grass was a bit dormant. The usual deep Bermuda rough was thin and actually more playable. Some greens rolling well but some suffered from the cold. Some tee boxes are moved to allow reseeding. Still, pretty good overall. Worth the afternoon greens fees, but I'd skip the morning price.
Course Overbooked
Overbooked. Slow play. Long lines.. 3 hours to play 9 holes.
