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.

Needs some improvements
Glad to see they starting working on a club house.
Overall the course was in good condition. The fairways did have some bare spots but were good overall. Greens were in excellent shape. Most of the tee boxes need a lot of work. I’ve played this course several times while in town and will continue to play it when I’m here.
Excellent
Easy going and very helpful staff. Good banter at the 19th hole afterwards.
Under construction
They are building at new club house so all of the budget is going into that project apparently. Tee boxes are bad, greens are just fair when they once were great. Pace of play has always been an issue. We finished the front nine in an hour and a half. We caught up with the regular crowd on 9. It took another 2 and a half hours to do the back. Course is always slow so we kinda knew it was going to happen eventually in the round. I'll wait until the club house is finished and wait for the next Sanford budget year before returning.
Great course
I love playing Mayfair. The management has done a good job improving the greens and most T-Boxes. Some of the fairways need a bit of improvement. But overall a great course for a reasonable price. Once they complete the new clubhouse it will definitely improve the overall experience.
Poor Conditions
Unfortunately the tee boxes and fairways are in very poor condition and the construction for the new clubhouse/restaurant has turned the parking lot into a complete dust bowl.
The greens are decent and the ball rolls fairly well for the most part.
So I’d recommend to play somewhere else for at least the next 6 - 8 months or so until the construction is complete and money has been put back into the course.
Mayfair Not Good
Disappointed in the course overall, tee boxes have very little grass, fairways are poor and greens were average. Will not be going back to play again.
A pleasant day out
It would appear that the fairways are struggling due to lack of water which meant we played from preferred les. The greens weee outstanding with some tough pin positions which I suspect protect the course from really low scores. The bunkers weee in good condition and the variety in length of holes from various tee boxes was good and beneficial to all. We played a four ball at 810 am and had completed 18 holes before midday. The cart personnel were extremely friendly. It is not a course I would play regularly, but certainly one I would play again. We enjoyed our day out.
What a disappointment
What a disaster, from the bag drop off, you deal with a not friendly starter with an attitude, to the parking in a dirt lot, to the tee boxes are dirt, and the fairways are scarce with patches of grass..could use a little water. Greens were patchy, some were cut, some were fast, no consistency with any of the holes on the course. For the price it should be a 10$ course, not worth the time, aggravation, and definitely cost to go enjoy a round of golf there. If you are thinking about going there, pace of play is slow, wouldn’t recommend it. Even though they have money for a new clubhouse they are building, but for a scarce golf course.
Rough
Course is in rough shape. Tee boxes and fairways were terrible. Greens though were great, props to them for that. Hoping once construction is done they start working on the fairways and tee boxes. Layout is great, so can be an amazing course.
