The Mayfair Inn Open was a PGA Tour event that was played for four years in the 1950s. The Mayfair Inn was a 155-room resort hotel on the shores of Lake Monroe in Sanford, Florida known for its opulence and isolation. The PGA Tour event was played in mid-December from 1955–1958 at the Mayfair Country Club, some distance from the hotel. Total prize money was $15,000. The hotel closed in the early 1960s.{{cite web | title=A snowbird sanctuary Mayfield Inn brought a spark to Central Florida | author=Cobb, Charles | publisher=Seminole Little Sentinel | date=March 21, 1982 | url=http://www.sanfordnavalacademy.com/history/a-snowbird-sanctuary.pdf | access-date=2007-11-04}}
