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.

Fun track to play - Among the best greens in town

Mayfair is a fun course to play, and the greens are among the best in the area. The fairway conditions can be a little rough particularly on the front 9, however I find the back 9 to be in very good shape. The course receives a lot of play and can get extremely busy, as others have I have often noted, they seem to tolerate 5some and even 6somes which I wish they would not permit as this really clogs up pace of play.

Overall this is a great course and very good value for money, I have found the pro shop staff to be very friendly which to me is also very important. I plan to play here regularly!

Thursday sucks

When we arrived, we were informed we would have to play the front 9 twice due to a shotgun tournament. I asked why they don’t inform you about that fact prior to booking. They said, well this happens every Thursday as if I was supposed to know this magically.

Do not book on Thursday and you should call before booking any day because they move it around according to the starter.

Also, there is a propensity to allow 5 somes or even 6 somes on other days. They have a starter but no rangers to control the clueless players who tend to play there.

The golf carts are old and in most of them the seats are torn. The one we had this time was fun - step on it to go

then count to 3 or 4 and then it would move. The greens were so fast and steep it was not unusual to land your shot on the green only to have it roll back 30 - 50 feet or more and all the way off of the green. they need to trim some of the trees back off of the fairways

Run Down - Not Being Maintained

Played a warm-up round for a junior tournament. Course is in terrible shape - not much grass to speak of in the fairways or tee boxes. Range is only 150 yards. Clubhouse is a trailer. Carts are about to fall apart.

Good layout (with the exception of the hole at the wastewater treatment plant) that has potential but can definitely tell no money being spent on this course.

I like this course

Mayfair is an olde school course, which I like. Slightly narrower fairways than modern layouts, some water to carry and the grass in places a little torn up but the greens are good...yesterday, they were blazing fast making for difficult putting for all 4 of us. I'd say to check it out, you might like it. Easy to get to off I-4 or the 417.

Apart from the greens being very good the rest of the course is not good, tee boxes and areas around greens are in terrible shape. Wont be playing here until all is fixed

Amazing Greens/Classic Setup

Mayfair has been around a long time. I played it when I was in High School and I'm now 58. The greens were spectacular. Fast and very difficult. The fairways on the back 9 are better than on the front 9. The back 9 is really a links setup and therefore gets more sun. The front 9 has many trees and a lot of shade. The trees need some major trimming not only to let more light on the course but for the trees own health. With some money and time, this course could really be brought back to it's glory. The city owns it but is managed by a 3rd party company. I would play again.

Not good

Avoid this course if you’re a serious golfer. If you like drinking a 24 pack during your round then this is right up your alley

Carts

Had to wait 45 minutes for a cart. Was told there a lot of carts but were broken down and city won’t repair them. That is a disgrace. I have never in 60 years of playing golf had to wait for a cart. City needs to get these carts repaired!

Disorganized

The course was in decent shape. The best I've ever seen it in. Greens were pretty nice. and the fairways were fine. Cart paths are a bit messed up. We had to start about 40 minutes late. Still no clubhouse to speak of. Just a trailer.
