Staff WriterIf golf is the game of kings, then Tributer Resort at Lake Anna is trying very hard to make sure you feel like one—assuming you’ve got $75,000 burning a hole in your slacks.
Cutalong, Reef Capital Partners’ crown jewel on Virginia’s glittering shoreline, has just announced its final batch of memberships at today’s rates. Wait until 2026, and you might need a winning lottery ticket or a generous divorce settlement to buy in.
$75,000 for Golf? Don’t Spit Out Your Gin & Tonic Just Yet
Yes, it sounds steep. But let’s be honest—people spend that much on a sports car that depreciates faster than your 3-wood swing speed after a pint of Guinness. At least this gets you more than bragging rights.
Members snag priority dibs on the resort’s soon-to-debut Villas, Cottages, and Cooper Estates. Even better, if you buy a home within 24 months of joining, you’ll get a 40% credit toward your membership deposit.
That’s right—Cutalong is effectively paying you to move in, provided you’ve got the cash and a taste for lakeside living.
The current menu already looks tasty: 22 golf villas and 34 cottages, owned by members but rentable through swanky Stay & Play packages.
The big picture? Over 900 residences with extras like a hydrotherapy centre (to undo what golf does to your back), chef-led dining, wellness programs, paddleboarding, and sunset cruises—because nothing says “legacy lifestyle” like sipping Chardonnay while pretending you know port from starboard.
“The Cutalong development has evolved into a premier national lifestyle golf destination thanks to the vision of Reef,” said Chris Baird, Director of Membership at Cutalong.
“It’s a luxury golf experience that can be enjoyed by members and resort guests, and with new real estate offerings and limited memberships available, discerning golfers and families are now taking advantage and building traditions that can be passed down through generations. That is what excites us the most.”
Digging for Birdies in the Gold-Pyrite Belt
Long before anyone worried about their club fitting or whether their Pro V1 was scuffed, this land was home to miners chasing copper, pyrite, and the occasional glimmer of gold.
Shafts, tramways, and rail spurs still lace the property, a reminder that fortune here has always favoured the bold. Now, instead of miners, you’ll find golfers in pastel trousers hacking their way through history.
The course itself is an homage to the gods of design—Macdonald, Ross, MacKenzie, Colt, and Braid—all reimagined through Lake Anna’s hills. Think wide fairways, mischievous greens, and attack angles bold enough to make a chiropractor rich.
Each hole feels like you’ve stumbled across a mash-up of Augusta, St Andrews, and a history lesson your high school teacher couldn’t make interesting if their life depended on it.
More Than Tee Times and Scorecards
Here’s the thing—Cutalong isn’t just about golf. It’s about creating the kind of community where members can swap stories, build traditions, and yes, show off just how good they look in lakefront real estate brochures. It’s legacy with a nine-iron.
So, if you’ve got the money, the ambition, and maybe a fondness for paddleboarding in between bogeys, Tributer Resort is holding open the gates. But not for long.
