Don Massengale, the club's first golf professional, hosted Arnold Parlmer in an exhibition match here to commemorate the club's first 18-hole course's opening in 1974. A third nine-hole course was quickly added to the club, further solidifying our position as the premier golf and tennis destination in the area, according to club officials.

As residents of Splendora, we believed that our small, gorgeous East Texas town lacked a distinctive attraction that would suit the wedding and event needs of our local and adjacent communities. We established Splendora Wedding and Event Center in response to this need. The need for an event hall that can host weddings of all sizes in our area has long been recognized, and couples in our area no longer have to travel an hour (or more) to the nearest large city. After discovering this lonely piece of property with the ideal-sized pond, we had visions of it being adorned with gorgeous, flowing fountains that would serve as a romantic background for the most unforgettable bridal/wedding scenes ever seen in the area. Fountain View Farm was born as a result of this experience. Fountain View Farm is situated on 8 acres of land that is snugly hidden away just 1 mile from a major highway (Hwy 59/I-69) and offers a peaceful retreat. Friends and co-owners Wesley & Teresa Barron and TJ & Casey Knox have been working together for many years to design and build the magnificent structures and property. They are well-known in the Splendora and New Caney communities for their ability to independently develop successful enterprises that give back to the communities in which they live. Their ambitions of establishing Fountain View Farm will come true as they work together to benefit our communities for years to come.
