The Woodlands Township Board of Directors approved a Ground Lease Agreement with Forest Capital Partners, LP during its July 23, 2026, Board meeting, marking a significant milestone toward the development of a new short course golf complex and associated amenities in the South Gosling area.
The project will be developed through a public private partnership, with Forest Capital Partners making a minimum capital investment of $12 million to design, construct, operate and maintain the facility. The Township will invest $2.5 million in supporting infrastructure, while retaining ownership of the improvements at the conclusion of the lease. Construction of the initial improvements is expected to be completed within 30 months, with the facility anticipated to open in early 2029.

The concept complements future trails, open space and other recreational opportunities that may be developed on the South Gosling property…
