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.

Value

This is an interesting older course that used to be used as a PGA tour stop in the 50’s. It is not the best of shape, but it is very playable. Also, the cost is quite reasonable, so there is no reason not to try this course.

Great greens

Solid set up and great price. If you don't mind a few iffy fairways and tee boxes, the greens are without a doubt the nicest in town.

Grand old course

I have played this course for many years. The greens are in the best condition in the last 10 years. Cart paths need help. The live oaks make for some interesting challenges. All in all it is a great course to play.

Interesting Course

This is an old course that hosted a PGA tournament in the ‘50s. It is not the best maintained, but is very playable. It is not a long course, and if you pick the right tees, it can reward good play and also be fun for any level of play. I recommend you trying out this course, and you will end up playing it more times, as I have. Enjoy.

Course Needs Work

The greens were great. The fairways and cart paths need work. No beverage cart. Pace was great, no one in front and no one pushing. The course is open, therefore forgiving if you slice or hook a shot.

Public Potholes

Mayfair CC is a historic old public course in a good area. The staff is great. Super friendly and helpful. Greens are beautiful and the course layout is fun to play. Fairways could use a little attention, but they play fair. My biggest issue with the overall experience is the horrific condition of the cart paths around the tee boxes and greens. Come on Sanford...put some love into this little gem. Either way, it’s a great value as it is and I’ll be back.

Greens rolling fast

I just like this course. Greens roll true and fast. fairways are in good condition. When you get off the fairways the grass is sparse so you need to roll it over but the price is great so no complaints.

Great for the Price

The conditions are a little off of their normal but it is probably due to the transitional time of year. Still good though.

My only complaint was 2 5-somes in front of us that wouldn't let people thru. It wasn't a busy day but ended up taking about 4.5 hours.

One of my favorites

I have played this course several times on different days of the week. It is challenging on a few holes and an overall pleasure to play. The employees are very friendly and helpful. The course is in great shape and I will continue to golf here.

Fun to play

Mayfair is an older course that hosted a PGA event in the late 50’s. It is not an extremely long course and it is ideal for Seniors and beginners, while still being interesting for any golfer. The course is not “pristine”, but it is good enough. I played in 3 hours, while having to wait on the last 4 holes. If in the area, try it out.

Much improved

I have played this course for years. I must say the greens are the best I've seen in a long time. The fairways are vastly improved , they have really turned this place around from last summer.

Now. If they would just put in some cart paths and fix the woopdedoos they have in places that will launch you half way out of the cart they will really have something.

Built In 1923

The age of the course really shows. No course improvements have been made since 1923. The original cart paths are still in place but now they have huge potholes that non course patrons fish in. He clientele is rude. On the tee box my twosome heard very loud talking and laughing as we were hitting our tee shots. The starter is useless. He did nothing to quieten the crowd. I will never go back under any circumstances except if Mayfair turns out to be hades and I don’t make it to heaven.
