Mayfair Country Club

Mayfair Country Club is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in Sanford, Florida.

The city of Sanford bought 152 acres in 1922 and hired noted golf architect Donald Ross to design an 18 hole municipal golf course. The course opened in October of 1922 as the Sanford Country Club, with only 4 holes completed. In September 1924 the entire 18-hole course was opened

Mayfair is Sanford's only golf course and one of the very first courses built in Florida. Mayfair features an open layout that is perfect for novice players and experts alike. The challenge for golfers at Mayfair lies within the strategic layout and the clever positioning of hazards and trees. The fairways tend to be wider (typical of older course designs) however, the approaches are much less forgiving. The overhanging trees and sand traps challenge golfers on every hole. Water comes into play on more than half of the 18 holes.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,403 yards. From the forward tees, the course plays to 5,007 yards and a par of 74. The longest hole on the course is # 18, a par-5 that plays to 516 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 16, a par-3 that plays 157 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 8, a 516-yard par-5 challenge, and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Mayfair Country Club is # 16, the157 yard par-3.
