Mayfair Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Fairway Blight
Ok, the greens were "OK" but the fairways forced you to "pick up and place" since much of them were barren. Need fertilization and lots of water!
Golf
Staff were excellent as always. Unfortunately the course is very dry
Hopefully It Will Improve
Course is in bad condition - lots of dry, dead grass. Apparently they do not water it much and it has not rained in a while. Some greens are decent, but still numerous old hole positions that are not healed. Ponds are low and not very scenic. Rough ride in a cart. Lots of dry dirt paths with bumpy fairways. There was a lot of course maintenance going on, but appears to be failing due to lack of water.
Clubhouse is currently in a trailer while construction on a new permanent building is in progress. No drink cart when we played. Only a few snacks available in the clubhouse. Bring your own food and drink! Cost to play is >$50 in the morning and about $40 in the afternoon. Too high for the condition of the course. Senior rates are reasonable and most of the players are seniors.
Hopefully when the new clubhouse is complete, they will serve some basic food (sandwiches, hotdogs) and focus on improving the actual condition of the course!
Greens are good
Greens are always good here, everything else was so so but for the price can’t beat it.
Needs some improvements
Glad to see they starting working on a club house.
Overall the course was in good condition. The fairways did have some bare spots but were good overall. Greens were in excellent shape. Most of the tee boxes need a lot of work. I’ve played this course several times while in town and will continue to play it when I’m here.
Excellent
Easy going and very helpful staff. Good banter at the 19th hole afterwards.
Under construction
They are building at new club house so all of the budget is going into that project apparently. Tee boxes are bad, greens are just fair when they once were great. Pace of play has always been an issue. We finished the front nine in an hour and a half. We caught up with the regular crowd on 9. It took another 2 and a half hours to do the back. Course is always slow so we kinda knew it was going to happen eventually in the round. I'll wait until the club house is finished and wait for the next Sanford budget year before returning.
Great course
I love playing Mayfair. The management has done a good job improving the greens and most T-Boxes. Some of the fairways need a bit of improvement. But overall a great course for a reasonable price. Once they complete the new clubhouse it will definitely improve the overall experience.
