Officially 'The Golf Capital of Tennessee', Baby Boomers relocating to Tennessee are drawn to the area for three main reasons: mild weather, central location and for a lower cost of living. Middle Tennessee has four distinct seasons. The winters are mild and summers reasonably cool thanks to the higher elevation of the Cumberland Plateau.

What makes Fairfield Glade popular with retirees? The amenity list is quite lengthy: 4 championship golf courses, a comprehensive wellness center, new recreation center, 12 tennis courts; 4 indoor 8 outdoor, 4 swimming pools; 2 indoor 2 outdoor, fine and casual dining options at 2 country clubs, 11 spring fed lakes, 2 marina's, equestrian stables and miles of walking trails. Stonehenge Golf Club is ranked a Top 100 Golf Course by Golf Magazine. Fairfield Glade has several mountain golf courses. 

The Village Green Mall within the community offers restaurants, a salon and daily conveniences. The newest neighborhoods at Fairfield Glade North have modern street lighting, decorative mailboxes and the power is buried underground. The earlier built neighborhoods have older homes yet have the advantage of being situated closer to the community's amenities.

Residents here at one of the top Tennessee golf communities have the flexible opportunity to pay for amenities 'a la carte' verses expensive annual memberships. For example, a la carte usage fees at the comprehensive CMC Wellness Center, are approximately $44.50 a month; golf at famous Stonehenge is $41 for 18 holes; tennis $7 per court hour; the use of the swimming pools $200 annually and marina boat rentals are as low as $16 per hour. Folks only pay for the amenities they use which makes it attractive to those comparing resort retirement communities.

Convenient medical care is within the neighborhood at the CMC Wellness Center operated by Cumberland Medical Center. The new 30,000 square medical center opened in early 2014. Mammography, physical therapy, aquatic therapy are just a few of the medical services on property. 'Very friendly people' is the most common accolade we hear from property owner reviews about Fairfield Glade. Almost 100 social clubs are active keeping the small town friendly lifestyle alive and well at one of the most well known Tennessee golf communities.

In addition to constructed amenities, natural amenities surround the neighborhoods. The Cumberland Plateau is the largest timbered plateau on the East Coast. Catoosa Wildlife Management area is adjacent to the golf community with 84,000 acres of protected forest. Fall Creek Falls State Park is Tennessee's most visited state park and is only 45 minutes from Fairfield Glade. Crossville and Cookeville TN are the nearest cities rich in history, culture, deliciousness with plenty of educational opportunities. Crossville is called 'The Golf Capital of Tennessee' because half of the golf courses in Tennessee are located in a small circumference. Golfers searching for mountain golf courses will find Fairfield Glade a great option when relocating to Tennessee.

Real estate taxes are low compared to the rest of the Southeast. If you're searching for affordable resort retirement communities, you'll find plenty of options here.

"I am not the happiest here but I'm getting there! I am really hoping that this review helps and that Fairfield can benefit from this review by changing a few more things. I still can't get settled into my HOME because of what happened a few months after I moved in. I moved to Fairfield to get a fresh start inside of Cumberland County, to be near family, and this is the only community that has everything that I need to keep doing better with my medical needs with my legs as I had to relearn to walk. Relearning to walk takes an unbelievable amount of strength, courage, belief, faith, and trust within yourself and others especially when you go through 9 surgeries in a year and half. It also shows how much one wants to live and better themselves each day! But I was harassed, a neighbor kept a key from the previous owner just to spite that person. In a medical emergency, "The Fairfield Police" who have finally admitted publically that they are NOT accredited and they are not zoned for it to be a police station and don't have the trainings as law enforcement do, gave the key back to that neighbor whom I didn't even know, left my dog inside and left my house unlocked in a county who had been voted number 1 in the nation for meth use three to four years in a row. Anyone could have come into my house, taken my sensitive paperwork for my jobs, my stuff, and my dog. In 2007 my parents had just moved into their newly built house in a good neighborhood. 7 months later we were at a family members birthday party, (it was witnessed by someone but the officer in the county- Sean Mullican never wrote it down because they don't know how to write reports), two armed people in a red truck broke in and broke things, stole thousands and thousands of dollars worth of stuff. With my medical emergency, they didn't even turn the security system back on. Cumberland County Sheriff's Department didn't even file a report when they are the real law enforcement in the county. Not to mention, I was taken to CMC and that is not where I am supposed to go nor where my doctor are. I even have paperwork that is from my own doctors that the Sheriff, EMS, CMC has that says "TAKE ME to VANDERBILT in an emergency." Bob Webber who is over administration has refused to meet with me every time I go in. I approached the "police chief of Fairfield Glade" and tried to talk to him in a civil manner after what happened but he didn't want to talk. That was the same day his weapon went off on his brothers truck. Of course he was cleared of everything but so was an officer who shot a woman 10x in the back a few years ago who also shot two other people in a different county before coming to ours and now he's in a different county because he was fired. My point is, all law enforcement need to be accredited and go to every single training that is required including Crisis Intervention Training and they need to apply it to their job, life, and heart. I'm not sure if Fairfield is aware of how many veterans we have that live here and if they are treated like I was, then things need to CHANGE!!! As for the realtors, they were good but the only exception is AmeriSpec didn't do their job when they inspected the house. It is in my opinion and my lawyers that the previous owners messed up the fireplace before they left. Volunteer Hearth and Home came to check the fireplace and said the logs were messed up and this fireplace was working just fine when I first viewed the home. The reason why we think they messed the fireplace up and caused some serious medical issues is because they wanted another $5,000 and I said no, my Realtor and I went to look at other properties and told them we were going to put another offer down on another property if they didn't decide. This medical emergency wasn't what Fairfield Police nor Cumberland Medical Center thought because they didn't investigate thoroughly nor would they listen to what I said. It was an 8 month gas leak which put me in a hyperbaric chamber right after Christmas time. Also, at the time of this emergency I was having my water and other neighbors water tested as there is water contamination. I have TDEC getting involved as I have tried tap water and Alkaline water off and on for months and there is a huge difference when it comes to oily hair, cleanliness, and my health. I'm still suffering the effects from Fairfield's abuse and neglect. "

"We love the community and the homes. Our neighbors are the best, caring and friendly people. We feel lucky to live in Fairfield Glade. There are a few places that are nearby, but we don't mind driving an hour to get to some of the popular stores and restaurants. The grounds are always well maintained and beautiful. It's a clean, well kept, and the environment as a whole is very appealing."
