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.

Fair course.

Unfortunately the course was not in good condition. Lot of rough patches around all the fairways. The greens were ok.

Mayfair is getting better

Greens are great. Fairways are a little hard. They are putting a lot of money into the old course and it shows. One of the bangs for your buck in the Orlando area.

Terrible conditions, give it another year

The course is under repair so not in the best shape but I’d wait another year to play. The greens aren’t bad and they have great hot dogs, otherwise it’s a goat track

Still working on the clubhouse

The work on the clubhouse continues and leads to some parking woes. The greens are in decent shape but fairways and tee boxes need some work! Pace of play wasn't bad as we finished 18 holes in 3 hrs and 40 minutes!

Great time

Frequent player of this course. Some of the fairways were a little patchy, especially on the back. But overall great round on a fun course

Management need some improvement to level up the club.

1. Very unfriendly & unkind staff at pro-shop.

2. Mgmt should put sign boards where to drive cart for next hall dividing tee-box per each hall.

3. Try to put some more grasses at all ground in fair way.

If some efforts done, will recommend this course to others.

Going back to where it all began

It's always nice to see Scott, and know that the course I grew up hitting balls is making a come back. It's unfortunate nowadays, we still can't sort out why it's easier to judge than accept. Other than navigating the locals, this is one of my favorite courses.

No sign showing next tee box.

Greens OK, fairways, tee boxes not so much

Agree with another poster - greens are fairly nice condition, though the location of where pins were previously cut makes their appearance somewhat pockmarked - it was not uncommon to have a dozen or more previous pin locations within a 50 sqft area - (how often are they setting up new pins - and why withing a few fet of multiple other pin positions?). Lots of bare spots/sand on fairways. We saw at least three 5-somes playing - not sure why that was allowed (one ahead of us and two behind us), although the group ahead kept a pretty good pace, so it was not an issue. We were concerned, as were on a tight timeline, but this time not a problem. Rate was reasonable, so we might consider playing again, but would not go out of our way to do so. Playing the senior tees shortens the course considerably.

Still A Faded Beauty

I played this yesterday, a fairly cold and overcast day for Central Florida, as I got a Hot Deal for my buddy and me. The last time here, last October, the new clubhouse that has been advertised for some years (?) now has finally stated construction. From my personal observations, the contractor is not moving too fast and I would not expect completion before the end of this year.

Anyway, the course is an older layout of past times but still well designed, and the greens are, IMO, the equal of Bay Hill for speed and difficulty. (I've played Bay Hill a few times, so this is my personal view.) Some of the greens have a false front and most are tilted back to front, making speed of your putt a prime consideration along with the many undulations. Today, most pins were cut either far back or in front making putting even more adventurous. The greens are in nice condition, though the location of where pins were previously cut makes their appearance somewhat pockmarked, but the clientele seems to be good about fixing ball marks, unlike most local courses. The tees and fairways need some help, though, as some tees were tacky and there are lots of bare areas on the fairways. The water hazard on 16 is badly in need of water; some hazards have enough water but some do not.

This course once held a PGA tournament between 1955 and 1958 and it must have been a good test for pros in an era of wooden woods, old blade irons, and the wound construction balls of that time. Still, Mayfair may be a bit aged and shopworn but it's still a good test of your golfing skills, especially putting. I really like this course and can only hope the new clubhouse is completed quickly and that it can still retain the charm of times past.

Decent Course

This is a fairly decent course. The course has a great layout with some very scenic areas and fair share of water hazards. The pace of play was steady - we finished in 4 hours even. The staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. The greens are in good shape and very fast. The fairways are dry with bare spots here and there but I noticed the effort to improve condition with new sod in many areas. The construction of a new clubhouse and parking lot is in progress and the temporary parking and starting area is adequate but a bit chaotic. Overall, this course is enjoyable and offered good value on Golfnow Hot Deal and we will certainlt play it again!
