Club Wyndham resort closures have gone from rumor to official policy: eleven legacy resorts ceased timeshare operations at the end of 2025 under what Club Wyndham calls its “Resort Portfolio Refresh,” and 2026 is the year deeded owners at those resorts must choose between a points swap and a share of sale proceeds. This tracker consolidates every closure Club Wyndham has confirmed on its own owner site, the deadlines that have already passed as of July 2026, the bankruptcy cases now moving through the courts, and the two options on the table — with every claim linked to the primary source so you can verify it yourself.
Quick Answer: Club Wyndham confirmed that 11 resorts — Bentley Brook, Branson at the Falls, Fairfield Bay, Fairfield Glade, Kauai Beach Villas, Orlando International, Newport Bay Voyage, Newport Overlook, Patriots’ Place, Shawnee, and Skyline Towers — ceased operations at the end of 2025 after association votes. Deeded owners choose between swapping into Club Wyndham Access points at no added cost or receiving a share of net sale proceeds. No 2026 maintenance fees are charged at closing resorts, and several swap deadlines have already closed in 2026.
Which Club Wyndham Resorts Are Closing?
In its official November 26, 2025 announcement, Club Wyndham confirmed that the following resorts, “through their association owners, have voted to cease operations at the end of 2025.” Beginning in early 2026, these locations were removed from resort maps and points-booking options.
| Resort | Location | Status in 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Club Wyndham Bentley Brook | Hancock, Massachusetts | Closed; swap form still open as of July 2026 |
| Club Wyndham Branson at the Falls | Branson, Missouri | Closed; swap form still open; association in Chapter 11 |
| Club Wyndham Fairfield Bay | Fairfield Bay, Arkansas | Closed; swap form still open; association in Chapter 11 |
| Club Wyndham Fairfield Glade | Fairfield Glade, Tennessee | Closed; swap form still open |
| Kauai Beach Villas (KBV) | Lihue, Hawaii | Closed; swap form still open; case administered via Stretto |
| Orlando International Resort Club (OIRC) | Orlando, Florida | Closed; swap interest closed April 10, 2026; association in Chapter 11 |
| Newport Bay Voyage | Newport, Rhode Island | Closed; swap form still open |
| Newport Overlook | Jamestown, Rhode Island | Closed; swap interest closed July 15, 2026; association in Chapter 11 |
| Patriots’ Place | Williamsburg, Virginia | Closed; swap form still open; association in Chapter 11 |
| Club Wyndham Shawnee Village | Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pennsylvania | Closed; swap form still open |
| Skyline Towers | Atlantic City, New Jersey | Closed; swap interest closed July 17, 2026; association in Chapter 11 |
We covered the Shawnee Village closure in depth — including the resort’s history and what its deeded owners were offered — in our dedicated guide: Club Wyndham Shawnee Village Is Closing: What Deeded Owners Need to Know in 2026.
Are Any Other Club Wyndham Resorts Partially Affected?
Yes. Four resorts are not closing outright, but Club Wyndham states that “a subset of associations within the resort have voted similarly, which will result in a consolidation of inventory at those locations.” Vacation options continue at these resorts: Club Wyndham Ocean Ridge (South Carolina), Club Wyndham Pagosa (Colorado), Club Wyndham Star Island (Florida), and Fairfield Mountains (North Carolina). Owners in the affected sub-associations at these resorts face the same swap-or-proceeds decision as owners at the eleven closing properties. Star Island stopped accepting swap interest on July 15, 2026.
Why Is Club Wyndham Closing These Resorts?
According to the company’s own explanation, the associations and Club Wyndham evaluated “owner occupancy, survey feedback, projected maintenance fees, and the potential for significant infrastructure upgrades that may require costly assessments.” In plain English: aging buildings, thinning occupancy, and repair bills large enough to trigger special assessments made these resorts uneconomical to keep running. Club Wyndham says it walked each association board through financials and “projected longer term maintenance fee increases and/or special assessments” before the boards voted to cease operations.
That rationale matters for every timeshare owner, not just Wyndham owners. Rising fees and deferred maintenance are industry-wide pressures — the same math we walk through in our 2026 maintenance fee analysis and our honest cost-and-value breakdown.
What Are Your Two Options as a Deeded Owner at a Closing Resort?
Club Wyndham’s published materials lay out exactly two paths, and choosing one excludes the other.
| Option 1: Club Wyndham Access swap | Option 2: Net sale proceeds | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | An “equivalent number of Club Wyndham Access points at no additional cost” | A share of net proceeds from the property sale, “distributed based on my ownership interest” |
| What you give up | Any share of the sale proceeds | Your ownership and any future use; you wait on the court-supervised sale |
| Ongoing costs | Club Wyndham Access maintenance fees and program fees continue | None after the process completes |
| Eligibility | Current on maintenance fees, no outstanding loan balance, in good standing | All deeded owners, subject to setoff for amounts owed to the association |
| Timing | About 14 business days of paperwork once documents are returned | Depends on each association’s bankruptcy and sale timeline |
The single most important sentence in Club Wyndham’s FAQ is this one, about the swap: “You will not receive any net proceeds from the sale of the property.” The swap and the payout are mutually exclusive. An owner who converts to Club Wyndham Access keeps vacationing but also keeps paying annual fees indefinitely — the exact obligation many owners at these resorts were hoping to end.
Which Swap Deadlines Have Already Passed in 2026?
Club Wyndham’s portfolio refresh page shows a rolling shutdown of swap-interest forms during 2026. As of this writing, the company lists these cutoffs: Orlando International Resort Club stopped accepting interest on April 10, 2026; Star Island on July 15, 2026; Newport Overlook on July 15, 2026; and Skyline Towers on July 17, 2026. Forms remained open for Fairfield Bay, Patriots’ Place, Pagosa, Fairfield Glade, Newport Bay Voyage, Fairfield Mountains, Branson at the Falls, Ocean Ridge, Bentley Brook, Shawnee Village, and Kauai Beach Villas.
Two practical notes from the company’s own FAQ. First, the widely-cited “30 days to respond” deadline applies to expressing interest in the swap, not to completing the paperwork. Second, owners who initially declined the swap “may still have an opportunity” to opt in, depending on where their association is in the court process. If your resort’s form has closed, the net-proceeds path is what remains.
Why Are the Associations Filing Bankruptcy — and Naming Their Own Members?
Several of the closing resorts’ associations have entered Chapter 11 proceedings to clear title and sell the property. Club Wyndham’s FAQ addresses the question owners find most alarming — why an association would file a complaint against its own members. The company’s answer: the association is “seeking authority to sell the property governed by the Association, including the interests of the Association and all members,” it “is not seeking a monetary judgment against any of the members,” and each member “will receive money from the sale of the property,” subject to setoff for amounts owed and confirmation of ownership interest.
In other words, being named in one of these court filings is procedural: it is how the association gains legal authority to convey thousands of fractional deeds in a single sale. Owners should still read every notice they receive — and if anything in a filing seems to demand money from you personally, have it reviewed. Our guide on when you need an attorney versus an exit company explains which situations call for licensed counsel.
How Can You Track Your Resort’s Bankruptcy Case?
Club Wyndham publishes the official case-tracking websites, run by the court-appointed claims agents, and notes that its own Owner Services team “does not have access to these updates.” Cases for Orlando International, Star Island, Skyline Tower, Maple Ridge, Patriots’ Place (Fairfield Williamsburg), Newport Overlook, Pagosa, The Falls (Branson), and Fairfield Bay are hosted at Omni Agent Solutions, and the Kauai Beach Villas case at Stretto. These dockets — not phone representatives — are where sale progress, hearing dates, and distribution details appear first.
Will You Owe 2026 Maintenance Fees at a Closing Resort?
No. Club Wyndham states plainly that because the associations voted to cease operations, “maintenance fees for these locations will not be charged for 2026, or factored into the Club Wyndham Access maintenance fees, as applicable.” If you receive a 2026 fee bill for one of the eleven closed resorts, treat it as an error and dispute it in writing. Owners who swap into Club Wyndham Access, however, do resume paying — Access carries its own annual maintenance and program fees, which owner reports on the Timeshare Users Group tracker thread put at roughly $8.47 per 1,000 points for 2026, plus program fees.
Should You Take the Points Swap or the Payout?
We do not tell owners which box to check — that depends on whether you actually want to keep vacationing with Wyndham. But the structure of the choice is worth stating honestly. The swap keeps you in the system: you get Club Wyndham Access points, you keep booking, and you keep paying fees every year, forever, on a product with near-zero resale value. The payout ends the relationship: you wait out a court-supervised sale and receive a distribution that, for most fractional interests, will be modest.
Questions worth answering before you decide: Have you used your ownership in the last three years? Would you buy this product again today at its true annual cost? Are you comfortable that accepting the swap forfeits your share of the sale? Is anyone in your family prepared to inherit the obligation if you keep it? Never stop paying obligations you currently owe while you decide — default has real credit consequences, and we can never advise anyone to stop paying.
What If You Own Wyndham Elsewhere and Want Out Entirely?
The portfolio refresh only resolves ownership at the eleven closing resorts. If you own at any other Club Wyndham property — or you took the Access swap and regret it — the normal exit landscape applies. Start with our complete Wyndham exit guide, check whether you are inside your state’s rescission window if you bought recently, and if you engage any exit firm, screen it against the 12 red flags first. A properly drafted cancellation letter is the right first step for recent purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Club Wyndham resorts are closing?
Eleven resorts ceased operations at the end of 2025 under the portfolio refresh, per Club Wyndham’s official announcement: Bentley Brook, Branson at the Falls, Fairfield Bay, Fairfield Glade, Kauai Beach Villas, Orlando International, Newport Bay Voyage, Newport Overlook, Patriots’ Place, Shawnee, and Skyline Towers. Four more — Ocean Ridge, Pagosa, Star Island, and Fairfield Mountains — have partial-association consolidations.
Do I owe maintenance fees for 2026 at a closing resort?
No. Club Wyndham states that maintenance fees for the closing locations are not charged for 2026 and are not folded into Club Wyndham Access fees.
What is the Club Wyndham Access swap?
Eligible deeded owners at impacted resorts can exchange their interest for an equivalent number of Club Wyndham Access points at no additional cost. Eligibility requires being current on fees, having no loan balance, and being in good standing. Paperwork takes about 14 business days once returned.
If I take the swap, do I still get sale proceeds?
No. Club Wyndham’s FAQ is explicit that owners who accept the swap “will not receive any net proceeds from the sale of the property.” The swap and the payout are mutually exclusive.
Is it too late to choose the swap in 2026?
It depends on your resort. Swap interest closed for Orlando International on April 10, 2026, for Star Island and Newport Overlook on July 15, 2026, and for Skyline Towers on July 17, 2026. Forms remained open at the other impacted resorts as of late July 2026, and Club Wyndham says late opt-ins may be possible depending on court timing.
Why did my association name me in a court filing?
Per Club Wyndham, associations file the complaint to obtain authority to sell the whole property, including all members’ interests. The association is not seeking money from members; members are expected to receive distributions from the sale, subject to setoff for amounts owed.
How much money will owners receive from the sales?
No distribution amounts have been published. Payouts depend on what each property sells for, the association’s obligations, and your fractional interest. The official case-tracking websites for each association’s bankruptcy are where distribution details will appear.
Does the portfolio refresh affect Club Wyndham points owners who are not deeded at these resorts?
The main effect is inventory: the closed resorts disappeared from booking options in early 2026. Club Wyndham states the closed locations’ costs are not being passed into Club Wyndham Access maintenance fees.
Key Takeaways
- Club Wyndham resort closures now total eleven properties, association-voted, with operations ceased at the end of 2025 and removals from booking maps in early 2026.
- Deeded owners face a binary choice: an Access points swap (keep vacationing, keep paying fees, forfeit proceeds) or a share of net sale proceeds (exit, but wait on the courts).
- Several swap windows closed in 2026 — OIRC in April; Star Island, Newport Overlook, and Skyline Towers in July. Check your resort’s status before assuming you still have the option.
- No 2026 maintenance fees are charged at the closing resorts; dispute any bill you receive for one.
- Association bankruptcy filings that name members are procedural title-clearing steps, not collection actions, per Club Wyndham’s own FAQ — but read every notice, and get legal review if anything demands payment.
- This page is a running tracker: as associations’ sales close and distributions begin, we will update it with cited developments.
