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.

Rain Out
Rained out! Course looked great minus the extra water hazards provided by Mother Nature! Maybe next week!
Excellent course for the value
The course is good for being able to play your ball even after a bad off line shot.
I always enjoy playing at Mayfair! One of the oldest courses in Florida!
I play Mayfair a few times a year and always have a good time. Honestly, the greens are some of the best in town! They really take care of them and you can tell just by driving past the course. The tee boxes can use some TLC, but the fairways and rest of the course is in good condition. By all means, this is not a resort or Disney course, but it is fantastic value and great layout. This is a wide open course so it is great for all levels of golfers. That being said, it can get busy during peak times.There are a few holes that water does come into play. The bathrooms and cart paths can use some upgrades! Not many holes you can take driver out, so this is a great course for iron and wedge work. If you have never tried this course, please come out and try it!
Golf History
To be greeted by Will Cart Professional was truly a good start to a round of golf at Mayfair. The first, ninth and eighteenth all show case the clubhouse. It is tremendous to play on a course which hosted such greats as Sam Sneak, Hogan and Palmer. The layout was there. Approach shots to the greens were guarded by proper traps (old terminology)! Putter surfaces were the best part of the golf course. However, the courses needs to upgrade there deterioted cart parts and maintenance needs to be done around the clubhouse and pro shop area such as fallen down brick work. With that being said I would definately put Mayfair on my list of courses to play and say hello to Will from us. Mike and Nancy!
Good value... Would play again
First time I came to this course. Layout is okay but not in good shape at all. Greens were good so that was the reason for the positivity ... The range is 150 yards (not kidding). The bar was closed, so the food options were chips and candy, canned beer, sodas, etc. The pro inside was knowledgeable and friendly. No help with the cart or clubs, no cart girl (it’s 90 degrees out), no after on the course (that I saw). Still good value and would play again.
Course was in pretty good shape - Fun round
Course has some great things about it. Greens were in fantastic shape. Fairways and tee boxes were decent. Small pro-shop with not a ton of amenities. Starter rushed us out early to make way for a member skins game that was going on. Was told by another golfer that it is under newer management and he is trying to do some really cool things with the course. (Fairway work, Bigger social media presence, glow golf) Wasnt too bad for the price! Would recommend to try!
Greens are Really Challenges
Greens are goodFairways are fairly good. Tee boxes need work.
Very dry
On the day we golfed the course was very dry. Pretty good layout though. Found the cart path really rough lots of broken cement. Not bad for an older course. Had fun
Very dry
Dry course & the pathway very rough. But all in all the course was challenging & not bad
I Hoped for Better..Just another old course
I had a golfnow tee time cancelled a few weeks ago by the course because of a tournament. We had to find another place to play and pay more, but we decided to give this place another chance this week with another golfnow tee time. When we arrived as a twosome, we were asked to pair with a single guy and told we had to start on the back nine due to a tournament later in the day. Whatever; we rolled with all of it and got to the tee box only to find another single there, so now we had a foursome. We followed a slow foursome all day with nobody in front of them. The course was just barely playable; fairways lumpy with patches of weeds except for a few yards in front of each green that were over seeded and green. The greens were very short and I would say fast, but did not roll true and speeds were not consistent due to sand and small debris. Very difficult to get a ball to hold even with flying the ball high on approach shots. Can't believe people play in whatever daily tournaments they have there that obviously take priority over golfnow tee times! I won't be back.
Diden't Bill tell you?
We arrived to a croud. No problem. Bill went out of his way to find a Mayfair poker chip as I collect them. Bill was busy and never mentioned that they had a league playing that day and we would have to play the front 9 twice to get our 18.
My foursome enjoyed the front 9 but were less than happy too be placed in line (long line) before we could continue our round.
In Bill defense he was dealing with a coustomer who we all though was being a pain in the butt. we had to play two front 9's. Not what we thought we purchased. 18 different holes.
Liked the front, but not enough to play it twice!
Worth the drive
About what one might expect from an older facility. Motorized carts, dryness, wide open fairways favoring those that spray. Nonetheless, well maintained where it mattered. On the greens, tees and most fairway hitting areas. Staff very personable, and helpful.
Not worth 4 star rating.. very disappointing, the cart, the club house and the cart path all quite shabby.
Average layout with good greens
Mayfair has been around a while and judging by the exterior, it’s easy to tell there is history here. It’s a real golf course, only one hole is lined with houses and they are technically REALLY out of play. The layout of the course is pretty straightforward, not really a lot of challenge on holes. Fairways are narrow but with the rough dormant right now, there is no punishment there. Each hole is wide so you have some forgiveness. The greens were in great condition, rolled smooth and broke accordingly. They weren’t super fast, about a 10.5, but you paid for it downhill if you missed the hole and hit too hard.
Outside appearances may be old, but inside of the pro shop is renovated and up to date. With adequate supply of necessities. There is a bar/grill and cart lady was around frequent enough.
The only real knock I have to give the course is the driving range is small, both ways, only like 6-8 people can use it at one time and you can’t use a club greater than 160 yds. It’s not enough real estate but it’s better than nothing and allows a sufficient warmup prior to round.
Personnel were polite and I was greeted with a gentleman who drove a cart out to me and told me exactly where to head to do whatever. Good service all around.
Overall, it was a good experience.
Very crowded Sunday @ 11:00
5 hr round.. nice course not a wow. Greens above average pretty fast.
Course mgmnt
Mayfair needs to warn customers when skin games and tourny's interupt abilty to play all 18 holes
