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.

A pleasant day out

It would appear that the fairways are struggling due to lack of water which meant we played from preferred les. The greens weee outstanding with some tough pin positions which I suspect protect the course from really low scores. The bunkers weee in good condition and the variety in length of holes from various tee boxes was good and beneficial to all. We played a four ball at 810 am and had completed 18 holes before midday. The cart personnel were extremely friendly. It is not a course I would play regularly, but certainly one I would play again. We enjoyed our day out.

What a disappointment

What a disaster, from the bag drop off, you deal with a not friendly starter with an attitude, to the parking in a dirt lot, to the tee boxes are dirt, and the fairways are scarce with patches of grass..could use a little water. Greens were patchy, some were cut, some were fast, no consistency with any of the holes on the course. For the price it should be a 10$ course, not worth the time, aggravation, and definitely cost to go enjoy a round of golf there. If you are thinking about going there, pace of play is slow, wouldn’t recommend it. Even though they have money for a new clubhouse they are building, but for a scarce golf course.

Rough

Course is in rough shape. Tee boxes and fairways were terrible. Greens though were great, props to them for that. Hoping once construction is done they start working on the fairways and tee boxes. Layout is great, so can be an amazing course.

No Beverage Cart

The course is in very good shape despite the construction going on for the new clubhouse. The driving range is just hitting into a net (due to ongoing construction) 50 feet in front of you so nobody is on that. This makes the chipping/putting practice areas very congested. Since it isn't easy getting to the current clubhouse, it would've been really nice to have a beverage cart running on the course. It was a great day on the course nonetheless.

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!

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.

Don't expect fairway in normal at all.

Lots of area in fairway show no grass.
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.
