Fairfield Glade

What Fairfield Glade does

Fairfield Glade, operating as the Fairfield Glade Community Club, is an active lifestyle resort and residential community located on the Cumberland Plateau in Fairfield Glade, Tennessee (Crossville area). The company integrates a resort hospitality operation with a private residential membership community under a single campus, offering a portfolio of recreational amenities that includes five championship golf courses recognized by Golfweek Magazine, eleven lakes with two full-service marinas, miles of scenic hiking and biking trails, indoor and outdoor tennis and pickleball courts at a dedicated Racquet Center, dining facilities, and meeting and event venues. The company also operates a real estate vertical that supports residential property sales within the community.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining vacation rental bookings (distributed through the company's own website and via the Extra Holidays channel partner), recurring residential community membership fees, and usage-based access charges including green fees, marina rentals, and recreational facility access. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with marketing channels comprising a Wix-based website with "Book Now" and "Become a Resident" calls-to-action, Facebook and Twitter organic social presence, Constant Contact email newsletters, and Google Calendar event integration. The technology stack is deliberately lightweight: a content website, proprietary member login portals (members.fairfieldglade.cc and nsmembers.fairfieldglade.cc), and standard third-party marketing tools, with no mobile application, public API, AI/ML capability, or proprietary software disclosed.

The customer base is bifurcated into two primary segments — vacation and short-stay recreation seekers (golf enthusiasts, outdoor recreationists, water sports users, meeting/event groups) and permanent or seasonal residential members (active retirees and lifestyle-oriented residents seeking community belonging with resort-quality amenities). The company is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, funding history, or executive team information in the available data.
