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.

Etiquette

Unfortunately when playing a public course you get the weekend warriors who do not keep up pace of play and do not let people play through.

Other than that the course was in good shape & staff was very friendly.

Worst of the worst

The only good looking holes on this golf course are the ones that you can see from the street peeking back layers into the further holes and general maintenance of the golf course you see mounds of dirt dead grass unkempt areas and tonight there are almost 50 golf carts that they have parked up against five houses on my street. most of us bought our homes and paid the premium to live on a golf course. Since we have made many complaints about the noise level the fact that they mow their lawns between 4 and 5 AM in the morning and things like mounds of dirt and hordes of golf carts being left behind our homes none of us have any desire to play at this golf course and give them one dollar.

major improvements

If you have not been to Mayfair in the last few weeks do give it a try...cart paths have been repaved, probably the first time in 30 years and the carts are brand new...real comfortable crusing....the course is about the same with fast greens in good condition...ok fairways with some rough areas but most courses are these days...new clubhouse to be built later this year

Worth the price

Greens a bit sandy, tee boxes average, fairways beginning to show some life. Deal price and pace of play comparing to other pricier courses in the area; not a bad choice.

On the mend…needs help

This city owned course needs some attention and appears to be getting it, though slowly. Cart paths have just been redone (which was badly needed), carts are new since my last round there and the greens seem to have been given some love. The fairways and tee boxes need some more help. The clubhouse was taken down (possibly due to a fire, though I’m not certain). Things are being run out of a trailer, which works as a temp solution. Range is WAY too small…Drivers a no go). It’s a fun track that just needs to have some money spent on it. Gets a LOT of play by a wide range of players, so it takes a beating. It’s got some history…just need to protect its future. The day I played, half the course was closed due to path repairs. Clubhouse made no effort to limit times having only 9 hikes available, starter had no plan to control the shitshow that was taking place at the first hole (aka the turn). Hoping for a better experience next time out!

Windy weather
Used cart

The back nine is closed for ??? Play 18 holes by playing front nine twice - would have been nice to know that BEFORE I got to the golf course or even before I booked the tee time. The lady in the office was very pleasant.

They have new golf carts. Not much else to say that is positive.

Not happy with Mayfair

We did not have a pleasant experience with this course. Wouldn’t be so bad but to top off the terrible tee boxes and fairways, the counter staff were unfriendly to the point of rudeness. The promised 18 holes were actually the front 9 twice as the back 9 is closed for repairs. Upon arrival we were advised to be off the course by a certain time (never heard that before from a greens fee course) . Then, the group behind us leapfrogged us with no explanation (they later apologized). Our first, our last and our only visit to Mayfair! Two big thumbs down!

9 holes closed

The front nine is closed for some work! As such the back nine is ridiculously slow. Still handing out tee times like all eighteen holes are open! Some holes had up to four groups waiting to tee off! Most of the back side greens were in fair shape! Tee boxes and fairways need more work!

Course was in good shape. I just wish I was told at booking that the front 9 wasn't going to be closed. We had to play the back 9 twice.

St Patty’s Day goof

First of all, my reason for rating has nothing to do with Mayfair or the staff at all. Course has some areas where they are clearly improving things, and the greens were actually rolling great!

Booked a reservation for after 2:00 for 18 holes through GolfNow, only to be told that we had to be off the course by 5. The staff was excellent, not only only charged us for 9 holes but gave us a free round for the issue. GolfNow should notate time issues / restrictions like this at time of booking.

I’ll definitely be back for my free round!
