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.

Great location

This is a very lovely course well-maintained and people were very friendly. Even though I was late to my appointment they were able to squeeze me in at a time that was convenient for both of us. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will be going here again. Thank you guys!

Good Course for the Price

Mayfair is a really nice old course. It has an old Florida feel and is a good value for a day on the links.

Great value

Always enjoy playing here. It's a nice layout with some right to left holes and plenty of room for my wayward drives. From the blues the par 3's can be fun.

Bare bones amenities but I come for the golf.

There are some greens being brought back into shape but you can see they'll grow in. Didn't bother us much. Greens roll well with a number of back to front sloping greens which can really surprise you if you don't have the speed.

Overall, a great value and fun course to play.

Thanks for keeping it up.

Mayfair Not Great

I was underwhelmed with the course overall. Greens were very fast and hole placement almost always was on steep slope which combined for horrible putting conditions. Construction was an eye sore

Don’t play

The course is in bad condition at a time of year when there’s no excuse. There is no signage to speak of so you’re very lucky if you find the whole you’re trying to play. The course was so overbooked that it caused multiple problems, we had to report one group of golfers for cutting in line and driving their cart on the green. Just a terrible experience overall

Slow pace of play

The course is in "OK" condition. 4.75 hr to play 18 holes due to 5 player group ahead of us. No ranger to monitor slow pace. I fail to understand why this course allows 5 golfer groupings.

needs work

Lot's of construction in progress on the first 3 holes. It was interesting standing on the tee-box and having an oversized dump truck driving down the fairway at you. Large dump trucks, front end loaders and road-graders and not good for fairways. Deep ruts caused by the heavy equipment make for washboard fairways. Tee boxes and fairways are very thin with little grass. I think this is the dustiest course I have ever played. This is the dry season in Florida, and it appears there is no sprinkler system on the course. When we finished our round, we have to beat our golf bags with towels, to get all the dust off our bags. Greens are perfect, except for a couple holes that have some bare spots under repair. The fastest greens I have played on in a while. Nice. I will try it again, after the construction is finished and after we get some rain.

JUST GO PLAY THERE!

Give this historic course a try. Move the ball if you wish and enjoy this old time layout. Read up on the history of the Mayfair Open which is still played today. I noticed some former PGA players names at the 2021 event.

Very nice greens

For the very economical price, I had an enjoyable round at Mayfair. I appreciate the focus on important aspects of a course: Green condition and maintaining flatness with quick green speed, bunkers, and fairways.
