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 has committed $1.5 million to restore 3,000 linear feet of stream channels on the property. This restoration will generate the necessary nutrient credits required by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) to offset discharges from the second wastewater plant. The project will stabilize stream banks and beds, reducing erosion and preventing the release of nitrogen and phosphorus into the watershed. Construction began in November 2024 and is expected to be completed by Summer 2025.
August 1, 2024, Lake Anna, VA — The groundbreaking ceremony for the Cutalong Golf Clubhouse, held on July 30, 2024, marked the official commencement of a new, master-planned resort-style new home community located on Lake Anna in Louisa County, Virginia. Attended by local officials, community leaders, and key stakeholders, the event was honored by the presence of The First Lady of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Suzanne Youngkin, who spoke as a distinguished guest.

The fully-built development is expected to contribute significantly to Louisa County's economy, with an estimated annual impact of $6.5 million. This figure includes $5 million from property taxes and over $1.5 million from transient occupancy taxes. Additionally, the project will generate over 200 full-time jobs and 150 construction and skilled trade positions during the development phase. The property spans 1,000 acres bordering Lake Anna and is poised to become a premier destination in Virginia. The development plan includes 891 residential entitlements, featuring estate homes and homesites, executive homesites, cottages, villas, townhomes, and luxury condominium accommodations. Cutalong Golf Club, the centerpiece of the community, boasts a meticulously designed 18-hole championship golf course by renowned architect Tom Clark and was recently ranked as a top 5 best new private courses in America, by Golf Digest.

The event was further distinguished by the presence of The First Lady of Virginia, Suzanne Youngkin, who participated in the ceremonial groundbreaking. “The economic development at Cutalong is poised to significantly benefit our region and the entire Commonwealth,” said Suzanne Youngkin. “Cutalong aims not only to provide homes but also to foster recreation and engagement with nature, promoting wellness and community connection.
