The Woodlands Township on March 26 voted 7-0 to approve the term sheet for a ground lease and development agreement for a new nine-hole golf course and associated amenities on Gosling Road.

Chief Operating Officer Chris Nunes said at the meeting that the township has worked with Early Bird over the past six weeks to create the nonbinding term sheet for the public-private partnership on terms such as the length of the agreement and revenue shares.

What happened: On Dec. 4, the township approved a proposal for a potential golf course. During a Feb. 26 meeting, township officials announced that it would negotiate with Houston’s East River 9 manager, Early Bird.

About the project: The golf complex will be located at the South Gosling Tract, donated by Howard Hughes in 2023, off Gosling Road in Spring Creek.

Going forward: Nunes said that with the board's approval, the township can now move forward with the development agreement that will be presented to the board at April's township meeting.

Running from April 9-19, and with a new event this year, the Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo’s main focus is to create “pathways and opportunities for local youth to succeed,” Montgomery County Fair Executive Director Tobin Redwine said. The rodeo has changed since its original founding, but the goal of supporting the local Montgomery community has remained the same.

The big picture: Originally founded in the '60s, the rodeo started off as a “field day” where locals would spend the day on a rancher's land. As the years went by, new events and games were slowly introduced, and fast forward over 65 years later, the rodeo has now become a staple for the local Montgomery community, according to its website.

Quote of note: “Montgomery County is at a unique intersection of innovation and growth and also connection to history and heritage that shows up in such a tangible way at the fair," Redwine said. "So it's a fantastic way to spend some time and it's also a way to connect with that unique intersection."
