Living in the Blue Ridge Mountains at The Cliffs

It’s clear that excellence is synonymous with The Cliffs’ experience. But if you want to praise The Cliffs’ Mountain Region leadership for maintaining top-notch facilities, delivering delectable meals, and ensuring impeccable service, they’ll be quick to credit their staff. Cliffs Living sat down with Paige Frazier and Jeff Tyrrell to learn more about their leadership style and to have some fun with a few get-to-know-you questions. Let’s take a look!

Paige Frazier, General Manager at The Cliffs at Mountain Park

Paige Frazier is the newest GM at The Cliffs, joining Mountain Park in March, but she already has a solid vision for her leadership style. With more than 20 years of private club experience, Frazier knows a GM leads better as a mentor than a boss. She says by making herself available to her team for guidance, she can let them “spread their wings” to execute the club’s vision. Frazier was Director of Administration for the Kiawah Island Club before joining The Cliffs.

Q: What stands out to you most about The Cliffs, specifically Mountain Park?

A: I am genuinely enjoying the One Club atmosphere in all seven communities. Having seven unique courses, seven unique member experiences, all under One Club is truly exceptional. Mountain Park is a special place. The links-style course is a fun way to spend a day playing golf. The newly renovated Cabin is unique among its fellow clubhouses. It has a casual elegance that members enjoy, and both the members and staff have made me feel welcome from day one. The Cliffs is a family and that is tangible.

Q: What (or who) makes you laugh the most?

A: My pugs, Wally and Mollie Mae keep me laughing all the time! They spend every day living their best life and keeping me on my toes. Their smooshy faces and precious cuddles are second to none.

Q: Who would you want to be stranded on a deserted island with?

A: It would have to be my partner, Tony. With his 23 years in the U.S. Army, there is not much Tony can not do when it comes to creating something from nothing. We, no doubt, would be living in a hand-built beachside bungalow with running water and a spring-fed fridge within a matter of weeks.

Jeff Tyrrell, Director of Operations at The Cliffs at Glassy and The Cliffs Valley

What’s the ticket to success in the club management industry? Jeff Tyrrell says it’s employee culture. For Tyrrell, that means making sure two teams – Glassy and Valley – are equipped with the right tools and resources. Tyrrell’s extensive club management resumé includes roles as a golf professional and marketing and sales director, a director of operations, and most recently, as the GM/COO of Casper Country Club in Wyoming. He holds the Certified Club Manager designation.

Q: What’s something people are surprised to learn about The Cliffs?

A: From a golf perspective, we are so incredibly unique. I don’t know of anywhere else that you can play on Zoysia (The Cliffs at Mountain Park course), Bent (The Cliffs at Glassy course), and Bermuda (The Cliffs Valley course) grasses under the same membership at courses less than 30 minutes apart. Also, in that same Mountain Region, you can play a true mountain golf course (Glassy), a links-style layout (Mountain Park), and a parkland design (Valley).

Q: How do you unwind after work?

A: I enjoy playing golf, spending time with my wife, and I try to read at least one book each week.

Q: What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?

A: When my wife and I were dating, we got our first dog together. Her name was Fiona and she was a great pal to us for 13 years.
