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.

Surprised by the good conditions

This is a typical old Florida course. I've played it lots in the past, but it was always in questionable condition. This was a very pleasant surprise. The greens were excellent, and even the occasional bare patch rolled well. But the speeds were almost too fast to allow play at times due to severe slopes. (Those were originally designed for the old 6-8 green speeds.) One major upgrade needed is to tear up the broken concrete that passes for cart paths in many places. Fairways were in decent shape.

The restroom at #6 tee is new, and the clubhouse has been torn down for a rebuild, so hopefully the improvements are coming.

Course is under clubhouse reconstruction to modernize. Finish is due in late summer 2021.

Greens are fast and for the most part very good. (A few scruffy marks from many players). Fairways are wide and clean. The only truly poor aspect of Mayfair are the cart paths. They date back to the early 1920s and you can expect a bumpy ride while you are exiting the tee boxes. Staff is helpful and friendly. Excellent $ value for your golfing dollar. Recommended for the decent amateur.

Amazing walking/Golf cart course

I had heard horror stories of this course for a couple years. A great deal came up and decided to check it out.

Boy was I surprised. The practice green was all hilly and that was only a small insight to how all the greens were gonna be. Hills, drop offs, speed. You had to hit it good for it to stick it you would have a crazy putt to deal with.

The fairways are manicured and you do not have an issue seeing where they are.

If you have not played this course, I recommend checking it out.

Excellent Greens

If you’re looking for fast undulating greens, this course is for you. Haven’t play Mayfair in a few years, I was pleasantly surprised at how good in the putting greens were. The course still needs work, but it’s all about the putting isn’t it?

Happy New Year!

Decided to say farewell to 2020 and spend NYE with my 5 year old at Mayfair. Staff was super friendly and even went out of the way to give us some background on the course.

Greens are in good condition for the price. There was a scramble happening and it was a holiday, so pace was reaaaallllly slow.

Loved the layout. Tons of trees. Great doglegs. Par 3s are unique. Gorgeous. We'll be back.

Nice Course. Good value.

First time playing Mayfair. Thought the course was in decent condition. Greens a little beat up, but not horrible. Took my kid and really enjoyed it. Staff was super courteous and even shared some background on the course.

Went on NYE, so pace was expectedly slow. Laid back vibe overall. Don’t take yourself too seriously and you’ll have a great time.
