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.

Cart path blues....

Mayfair has plenty of good things going for it but there are areas for improvement too. We used to play this course periodically years ago and it has improved since. The fairways aren't to write home about but the greens are better than they once were. Like reviews before mine have attested to, weekday rounds in the afternoon can be a bit frustrating because they sometimes start sending people out on the back 9. I played here two weeks in a row (once Tuesday at 2:57 and once Wednesday at 10:30) and both times there were some slow downs because of this. I would call before booking to ask about what they have going on that particular day or afternoon. As long as you are not in a rush though it is a small price to pay for playing a historic Ross course. Two things I don't understand however are rough tee boxes and poor cart paths. The former is an easy fix that most courses get right and the latter seems to be the last thing golf clubs want to invest in. They fail to realize that many golfers in our area, unlike me, are seniors who appreciate smooth sailing as opposed to heart jolting bumps or mysteriously disappearing pathways.

Mayfair is an old Donald Ross design and it's noticable. Greens right now are in good shape along with the fairways. Get off the fairways though and things get hairy.

They had a glow ball event the evening I played and by the time I played the front 9 they had started sending groups off the back 9 for whatever reason and there were 6 groups on 10 when I got there. Likely won't play late in the afternoon again or mid-late morning for that matter anymore.

Course good, staff POOR

Fairways and greens are in good shape. Greens fast. Rough was not in good shape. Cart paths bad as well. Played Sat afternoon. Seems the staff doesn’t like to let people know that there is a tournament and a skins game going on. And when you ask why they say it’s a public course. Don’t know what that has to do with anything. Courtesy would be nice. 5 hour rounds are not fun. Course is in good shape it’s why I gave it a 3 stars.

Great, but terrible cart paths

Love this course and they are very friendly in front. I've played here twice and it was fun both times. They really need to do something about the cart paths though. Wicked bumpy...other than that its great!

Play here often. Fairways are nearing lush. Greens were firm and fast. If only some one would work on the cart paths it would be a great place to play.

It’s an 18 dollar round, and you play an 18 dollar course. Not in very good shape. But it’s cheap, so that’s a plus

Great greens!

Very nice Donald Ross Course, in very nice shape. Tees and fairways need a little help , but are coming along. Cart paths are rough, so go slow. Greens rolled true and fast.

Staff and locals are extremely friendly and helpful.

Very good value and a great experience as well.

Good For The Money

Two things that were said in previous reviews bear repeating: (1) Really need some simple tee signage for first-time players. We sat behind a group for 10 minutes thinking "where did these people come from" until we realized we were sitting behind the 9th tee when we should've been on the 4th tee. If there's a tee box directly behind a green, with a cart path leading to it, it's only natural to think that's next. (2) The cart paths are in very rough shape. Wouldn't be surprised if they're the originals from the 1950s. Sounds like a minor thing, but it's definitely a jarring ride. Other than that, I thought the course and greens were in reasonably good shape - especially for $22 on a weekend.
