Cutalong at Lake Anna Hosts Official Golf Course Grand Opening and Previews Planned Community Amenities
Accepting Applications for Sports and Social Club Membership as Development Moves Forward
Mineral, Virginia – July 12, 2021 –
Cutalong at Lake Anna, Virginia’s premiere master planned private golf community, held the official grand opening of its championship 18-hole golf course on July 1, with more than 100 guests, local officials and members of the media in attendance. Community representatives also showcased renderings of the many resort-style amenities that will break ground soon, including multi-story clubhouses, a resident activity center, marina, golf villas and other facilities.
“This is an exciting milestone for Cutalong, which brings a world-class golf and lakefront resort experience to central Virginia,” said Parker Enloe, Principal, Stillwater Equity Partners. “With the full course now open and members joining, our focus is now on the buildout of world-class amenities for members and future community residents.”
Located near the town of Mineral in Louisa County, Virginia, Cutalong features an 18-hole private golf course designed by renowned architect Tom Clark. Ron Whitten, former Architectural Editor of Golf Digest Magazine, worked with Clark to create a unique experience at Cutalong, combining knowledge of old and new courses to present historic golf highlights.
Cutalong is a true concept course developed as a 21st century National Golf Links design. Totaling 7,399 yards, it recreates features and hole layouts from some of the most famous British and American courses
while also showcasing the local area’s mining heritage. Actual spoil mounds from the region’s mining days can be found on some holes, while railroad timbers flank bunkers on others. It is the only private access golf course community at Lake Anna and currently has more than 120 members.
“The concept at Cutalong is big wide fairways and very difficult greens, making it a ‘second shot’ golf course,” said Clark who is partner at Ault, Clark & Associates and a past president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA). “Golfers who put their shot in the right segment are going to have a chance at a birdie putt. But if they put it in the wrong segment, they may have a three putt.
At the grand opening media day event, representatives also shared updates on the 891-unit master planned community being built on a thousand-acre site at Cutalong. The master plan calls for a mixture of estate lots, single-family homes, townhomes and golf cottages providing idyllic scenery on the Virginia countryside. Single-family homes and cottages are being built during the first two phases of construction. Cutalong’s Stay & Play Units
are maintenance-free and part of a managed rental pool program.
Renderings of the golf clubhouse and amenity center were shared during the grand opening event. Cutalong recently announced that it is partnering with leading architecture and design firm GuernseyTingle
to create those and other facilities. National civil engineering consulting and design firm Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB)
has also been tapped to support the project.
Cutalong development is being led by Stillwater Equity Partners, who detailed plans for other community amenities including dining, pools, walking paths, racquet sports, a marketplace and marina access to Lake Anna.
Cutalong is now accepting applications for golf and social club memberships. For membership dues and fees, or for real estate information, visit cutalonglakeanna.com or call 540-894-4275.

Travel Dreams Magazine - Cutalong at Lake Anna, Central Virginia’s premier master-planned private golf community situated northwest of Richmond, announces an increase in membership initiation fees to $50,000, while instituting a waitlist for the popular Young Executive & National membership options. A staple of the club’s “non-resident” memberships, the Young Executive option gives professionals under the age of 40 the opportunity to join Cutalong and take advantage of its Tom Clark-designed golf course, its golf practice facilities and clubhouse, and attend club-sponsored events. The National membership option allows those who reside more than 75 miles from Cutalong to have access to the Club. The waitlists come in response to increased membership demand. Cutalong sits on the shores of scenic Lake Anna and provides a peaceful retreat for busy families and retirees alike. The community is located within driving distance of several cities, including Charlottesville (39 mi); Richmond (58 mi); Washington, D.C. (86 mi); Baltimore (123 mi); and even Philadelphia (223 mi). Features include an 18-hole golf course and multiple luxury and custom home options, and plans call for a private marina and amenities for the whole family to enjoy. Through a unique combination of golf tournaments and community events bringing members and non-members together, membership has skyrocketed at Cutalong and solidified its status as the region’s preeminent place to live and play. “The buzz around the lake has been palpable, and we are excited to enter the next stage in our growth as a premier golf community,” says Brady Noland, Director of Golf at Cutalong. “We look forward to continuing to provide a first-class experience for our members both on- and off-the-course.” Drawing inspiration from classic designs from the most noted course architects in the sport, the Cutalong golf course produces a distinctive experience on the highlands above Lake Anna. The layout also draws from the rich mining history on the property with actual spoil mounds and railroad timbers found on some holes. Off the course, Cutalong will offer 891 single-family homes, golf villas and member cottages perfect for those looking for a first home, second home or place to retire. More than 50 stay-and-play units are also planned, which will allow guests to enjoy everything Cutalong has to offer. Lake Anna is truly a hidden gem in Virginia, attracting nearly 2 million tourists annually and offering stunning scenery paired with a tight-knit social scene including live music, wineries and breweries. The only golf course in the area, Cutalong is the ultimate destination for golfers of all levels who want to experience a charming lakeside community. https://traveldreamsmagazine.com/cutalong-at-lake-anna-announces-updates-to-membership-demand/
