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.

Fast Greens

Cool weather and nice company, but the talk of the day were the pin placements and fast greens. Really added a challenge . Almost every pin placement was on a slant.

If you were above the hole look out. Enjoyed it though.

FIRST TIME AT MAYFAIR

Surprized to learn that this historic course goes back a hundred years.

Got teamed up with 3 great guys which made the day a great golf outing.

The fairways are lined with huge, magnificent live oaks covered with hanging moss and do they ever come into play.

Considering the time of year, the course conditions were pretty good...especially the greens which are in good shape and fast.

I had a very enjoyable day.

$18 Golf Now WOW!

Old course, but really good condition. Golf Shop and bar staff was GREAT. Paid $18 for a HOT DEAL AND WOW no complaints on the golf course. The pace of play was slow on the front 9, but we finally got thru the slow group on 11 and flew. Greens are in great shape and decent speed! Good fairways and tees. Played the blues shot 72...dont know if that's even or 2 over with the card showing 35/36 for each side. If I am back in the area I will deffenatly play again!

Recently I'm dissatisfied with their policy allowing 5 people can play together during a game of golf. The manager allows this as well. Your normal adequate is 4 players and two golf carts. Those playing five at a time slows down the game considerably.

Recently there was a competition where they had five players to each hole being played.

And you had groups (5 each) ahead of them playing in the tournament as well. This is another reason that I will not play at this course again. What can I expect the next time I want to play and run into the same problem.

Great round

Started late after the rain on Saturday, was able to play as a single without much trouble! Finished 18 after a 3:40 tee time. Beautiful old course in central Florida! Love the course setup and always a fun time! I’m not going to say the course is perfect, but plays true, fun and challenging! Will definitely come back!! You definitely get your money’s worth!!

old school

I like this course...play it several times a year. Not very difficult, very little water with open space between fairways. The fairways are narrower than more modern courses which makes drives more important...greens where fast and smooth...lots of people off work after xmas so a real slow round but still good

My most favorite course

This is one of my favorite courses because the greens are fast and true and accurate to the roll. I play one of their skins game, too, and have won at least five times because putting is my strong point. Can't say enough about this course...a very fun course for sure!

Nice course

We had a pleasant day at the course paired with two men with roots from Sint Maarten. The course is wide, so little difficulties to retteive naald. Some interesting holes. Tees, fairways and greens were in good condition. We had to wait for 45 minutes to start due to mistake in organization. Our patience was rewarded wit a 18 holes voucher. My compliments!

Lack of carts

I had to wait over an hour past my tee time to get out because I had to wait for some one to finish to get a cart. The staff never said anything and actually seem mad when another golfer complained about it. I was able to get out with an earlier group because I was a single and hooked up with a group of three or I would have been 1 1/2 hours past my tee time.

I did finish my round and actually had a good time.

Nice one

The only negative I can think of are the cart paths. The rest is nice! Not too difficult but the greens however can ‘spoil’ your score.

Great bang for the buck!

Range is irons which works for me. Not having a traditional starter caused huge back log at the turn. Tee boxes need help big time! Fairways and greens best in a long time. Everyone working today was super nice and accommodating. Purchased hot deal, best price in town!

My most favorite course

As always, the greens were very true to the line which makes putting fun... Wish they would trim some of the trees that are always right in front of the ladies tees like hole number 2.

Fairways and areas needs repairs

The fairways and other areas need repairs. A lot of damage to the fairways as well as the cart paths. If the course made some of these repairs it would make playing more enjoyable and get more golfers to come back and not just for the price. Despite the course repairs the staff was courtesy and pleasant. Not eager to return soon but I will visit again.
