Cutalong at Lake Anna Partners with GuernseyTingle for Programming and Conceptual Design of Golf and Resident Amenities

May 11, 2021 - Cutalong at Lake Anna, Virginia’s premiere master planned private golf community, announced today that it is partnering with leading architecture and design firm GuernseyTingle to create various golf and resident amenities, including clubhouses, a resident activity center, golf villas and other facilities. Artist renderings are expected to be released early this summer, with the official grand opening of the golf course set for July 1, 2021. Development is led by Stillwater Equity Partners.

Over the course of its 37-year history, GuernseyTingle has become one of the largest architectural firms on the Virginia Peninsula. The firm takes a collaborative approach to relationship building, creative visioning and design-build project delivery serving clients across the U.S.

GuernseyTingle has significant architectural design, interior design, and mater planning experience in a variety of areas including commercial, resort, recreational, hospitality, residential and institutional. In 2005, the firm earned a Gold “On the Boards” Design Award from the National Association of Home Builders for the clubhouse at Heritage Shores, a two-level 32,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in southern Delaware. The project was also a finalist for Golf Inc. magazine’s annual Clubhouse of the Year awards, finishing among the top five in the U.S.

GuernseyTingle has also been recognized for its participation in multiple renovation and master planning projects at Kingsmill Resort, the only AAA Four Diamond golf resort in Virginia and home of the LPGA Pure Silk Championship. Among other initiatives, GuernseyTingle was selected for the renovation of the Kingsmill Resort Spa, the Elements 1010 resort center restaurant and The Estate at Kingsmill, a 7,000-square-foot, four-bedroom private estate that was transformed into a luxury rental property.

“We are very excited to be partnering with the seasoned leadership teams at Stillwater and Cutalong to bring key aspects of this incredible project to fruition,” said Thomas G. Tingle, AIA, president of GuernseyTingle. “Our team looks forward to leveraging its strengths to design a world-class package of amenities that will be enjoyed by residents, members and visitors for generations.”

Cutalong is a master planned private golf community adjacent to Lake Anna in Louisa County, Virginia near the town of Mineral. It features a completed 18-hole championship private golf course designed by renowned architect Tom Clark and consultant Ron Whitten, longtime senior architecture editor of Golf Digest.

A true concept course created as a 21st century National Golf Links design, Cutalong showcases features from famous British and American courses while also highlighting the area’s mining heritage. Actual spoil mounds from the locale’s mining days can be found one some holes, while railroad timbers flank bunkers on others.

Stillwater Equity Partners, the developer, confirms plans for other community amenities including dining, pools, walking paths, pickle-ball courts, tennis courts and marina access to Lake Anna. Single-family homes and villas will be built during the first phase of construction, including options that will be rentable on a nightly basis.

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.
