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.

Worried

I love this place. My worry is customer service is slipping. New staff not very nice. Hopefully it’s just getting used to the new place.

Fun course simple and easy to play. It’s not bayhill but it’s fun.

Customer service and friendliness was always an attraction- I hope they don’t loose it.

old course

Mayfair has been around forever and I suspect some respect is due here. The course has a good layout but is somewhat run-down especially since the hurricanes. Still some trees down, the net between the parking lot and driving range is still in disrepair, cart paths are well, non-existant at times. I understand the course is now owned by the city of Sanford, so I suspect they are waiting on new budget money. Nice little place if it were taken care of properly.

Same ole Mayfair.

I've played Mayfair many times that last umpteen years. This was the first time in over a year. It was about the same. Greens were good, fairways ok and rough was short and sandy. The cart paths were horrible not improved a bit since I was last there, maybe worse. I love the design and it is a challenge for a short knock like me to reach some of the greens in regulation. So we played and had fun. Can't really recommend it though. The rough needs more grass, as does some of the fairway. Cart paths slow pace down a bit too.

Good Saturday Round

Course is shaping up after finally draining from hurricane Irma. Greens in pretty good shape and pace of play on a Saturday was good. Fairways had been over seeded about a week ago so some fairways and tee boxes had patches of newly springing grass. Overall happy with the price and conditions.

This is a old style course with very interesting holes. The condition is average, but the greens are good. It is lots of fun to play and the price is right!

Needs TLC

Cart paths are the worse in Florida, no range to practice, apparently the net to protect the parking has been down since September but does not get fixed, 4th hole in extremely bad condition with mud everywhere, destroyed fairway, tree down blocking the cart path (all from hurricane), but Mayfair still charges a price as though in good conditions. Most of the tee boxes, fairways and greens need repair.

Needs work

The course is still feeling the effects of Irma. A lot of water on non waterhole holes and debris on many holes. Fairways are good but the greens have been better.

Just another golf course….

Played it in spring for the first time and it was rather a good experience. But this time I was really disappointed. The pace was very slow, there were several five some in front of us – was told they’ve had a skin game out there. The course is rather short and does not have real challenges, except the wind we’ve had today. Tee boxes are not well attended; some have bold spots or too high grass. Fairways are just playable but have spots with no or little grass too – and are partly still very wet with lateral water (reminder form hurricane and the rainy days…). Bunkers are good. Greens rather not fast and some spots with little grass too. The worth thing is the condition of the cart path, mostly is the concrete broken and the drive with the cart is very “shaky” or you have to drive aside of the path on grass, but it is very uneven there too. Staff is friendly.

Overall – I actually would not recommend it in these conditions, but if you need to go some place for a cheap round and have problems to find a tee time, it is better than nothing…
