The Wyndham exit

For years, part of the money that kept Fairfield Glade's amenities running came from timeshare interests rather than from resident homeowners. In 2025 that arrangement began to end. Club Wyndham's operations closed by the end of 2025, and the timeshare associations, eight by the Club's count, voted to wind down and sell, with a bankruptcy filing planned on the way. 1 2

The Community Club didn't choose this. It's what happens when a large share of your income depends on another company's business decision.

1. July 2025 Club Wyndham's timeshare operations at Fairfield Glade are reported as closing by the end of the year. 1
2. Late 2025 Wyndham and the timeshare associations, eight by the Club's count, move to exit. The revenue at stake: $2.55 million a year, about 11% of the Club total. 2
3. November 26, 2025 Sharp assessment increases are reported as the Club works out how to cover the loss. 4
4. December 1, 2025 The board approves the 2026 budget unanimously. 5
5. April 2026 The wind-down is still in progress. The associations have not yet filed for bankruptcy, and keep paying their monthly assessments while the units await sale. 6

Wyndham and the associations had been contributing $2.55 million a year, roughly 11% of Community Club revenue, and the 2026 budget was built around losing it. 2 3

The wind-down is slower than the headlines. As of April 2026 the associations had not yet filed for bankruptcy, were still paying their monthly assessments to the Club, and the units were still waiting for a buyer. 6

• Annual contribution the 2026 budget replaces $2.55 million
• Share of total Club revenue 11%
• Timeshare associations winding down, by the Club's count eight

Eleven percent is worth sitting with. A household that lost eleven percent of its income wouldn't trim a little. It would restructure. An association in that position has three levers and no others: charge members more, spend less, or find new revenue. The 2026 budget pulled the first one hardest.

The board approved the 2026 budget unanimously on December 1, 2025. 5 At the time, the board president was Greg Jones and the chief financial officer was Jason Lambert. 4

• Monthly assessment $120 to $137 An increase of $17 a month on homes with sewer and trash service.
• Amenity reserve fee at closing $5,000 to $6,000 Paid once at closing. Buyer and seller can negotiate who pays.
• Member food and beverage discount Eliminated

Note who pays for each. The assessment falls on every owner, every month, for as long as they own. The amenity reserve fee lands once at closing; the contract should say who pays. The food and beverage change falls on whoever eats at the Club.

The assessment page carries the full table, the trajectory, and the date the next budget is expected.

The board described the exit as a wake-up call, and presented the 2026 budget as a way to stop depending on unpredictable outside parties. It said the budget was built to avoid the risk of future special assessments, and that it deliberately excluded any income that might come from reselling the former timeshare units, rather than counting on money that had not arrived. 4

That last decision is the one worth noticing. Building a budget without the proceeds of a sale you're only hoping to make is the conservative choice, and in association finance the conservative choice shows up years later as the unpleasant surprise that never came.

Your monthly obligation went up $17, which is $204 across a year. If you use the Club's restaurants regularly, the loss of the member discount costs you more on top of that, and how much more depends entirely on how often you eat there.

The structural question is different from the arithmetic one. As the wind-down completes, the Club's revenue concentrates in its own members, which cuts both ways. No outside partner can walk away again. There's also no one else to share the next increase with.

Two numbers change your arithmetic. The monthly assessment is $137 rather than $120, and the amenity reserve fee charged at closing is $6,000 rather than $5,000. The contract should say who pays it. Budget for that charge specifically. It arrives in the same week as your down payment, your closing costs and your movers, which is exactly when an unexpected $1,000 is least welcome.

None of this argues against buying at Fairfield Glade. Plenty of people read the 2026 budget, decided the amenities were worth $137 a month, and went ahead. The point is only to know the figure before you sign, and to ask the Club what the next budget is expected to do.

The list of questions to put to any property owners association is written for exactly that conversation.

Two things this page can't tell you yet: what becomes of the former timeshare units, and whether the 2027 budget holds the line or moves again. The first is a live question with money attached. The second gets answered around the first of December.
