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.

First Time Playing

Nice course, great staff

First time playing this historic course. Staff was extremely friendly and informative, giving us a short talk on some of the history here. Course is very forgiving and open, which is good for a novice golfer such as me. Only issue is that there is still a lot of water from the hurricanes and following rains pooled up on many of the fairways. It is playable but you have an extra set of hazards in many of the fairways due to the slow drainage. Otherwise a fun place to play.

Our trip up the I4

This is a really lovely course. The greens are in very good condition and run true. The cart tracks are in need of repair but that did not in any way detract from our enjoyment. Would recommend this course.

Fun little course

The course is still holding on to some water with all the rain we have been having. Some really wet spots you will have to navigate around, but over all, the course is in good condition.

The range is still not open as they are waiting for the city to repair the nets the block the balls going into the parking lot.

Pace of play was pretty good, first three holes moved slow and then things sped up. Round came in under four hours.

The course is a great value if you can find a Hotdeal.

Soggy

Old style pga tour course. Narrow fairways, blind shots, elevation changes that you normally don’t see in central Florida. Fantastic layout. Still has much clean up to be done from hurricane irma. #12 was very soggy, we chose not to play that particular fairway.

Needs to dry out some! But all in all we enjoyed ourselves

Some of the Best Greens Around

The course had some trees down from the hurricane a few weeks ago and with the amount of rain we have had over the past month there are some holes that are soggy and the lakes are full. All to be expected though.

Overall the course is in good condition and the greens are really some of the best I have played in the area. This is an old course that deserves more recognition.

Nice little city course

This is a nice course, some challenging holes . Usually in better shape, but the hurricane was rough on it. Still recommend playing, but not more than $25.00 until course is repaired from storm.

Better

Mayfair has been up and down over the years - currently it's in an "up" cycle. Good to see as I've always thought that there is a place for courses like Mayfair.

Course getting better, pace of play is not

The course is getting in better shape, spots are re growing and the greens are in really good shape for the most part.

Unfortunately the booking problems are still the same. Show up for a 3:30ish Tuesday tee time as a twosome, and find out that there is a high school golf tournament AND a scramble tournament going on at the same time.

5 hour rounds have become the norm at Mayfair, but the course conditions are improving.

Not a bad course

I bring my son here to get his skills up. You can basically hit right or left and still be in play on majority of holes. I woul recommend this course for uppi g your game prior to playing a long or narrow course.

Good golf course but...

In general it is a very nice course to play but the signage is not good, you can jump from 3 to 8 with no problem and some of the signage is broken.

A++ course !!

Par for the course

Well I played this course many times. I haven't played in a couple of years because it was a rugged course. But I played in June and amazingly well quite frankly the course was in good shape for it being the course that it is. You can see that they put effort in making this course a better course. The greens were awesome Good for amateur standards like many of us are. I had a good time playing the course the only problem that I would say is that it is a bit slow. But all in all we had a great time playing the course. Great job Mayfair staff the course is looking good.
