For over 100 years, Temple has provided members and visitors with a world of unparalleled beauty, inspiration, character and all in an uncrowded setting.
The chalk downland course was designed by the 1887 and 1889 Open Champion Willie Park Jr. and to this day the spirit of his 'inland links' course is maintained. With stunning views over Marlow and the Thames Valley providing a picturesque backdrop for the challenging 18 holes of golf.
Temple is a progressive club and mixes 100 years of history with a modern approach to membership.

“We wanted to say thank you very much to you and the whole team at Temple for allowing us hold Grace’s christening reception at the Club on Saturday 8 February. The welcome everyone received was fantastic and all of the guests were amazed by the room and views. I would recommend hosting events at the Club to anyone. Also, please pass on our thanks to Liam for putting on some great food. And to Francis for all his help and being so accommodating. We really enjoyed the day.”
Gemma and Ben Waters – February 2020
“The recent SATam Christmas Dinner was an outstanding evening. The food was excellent, both traditional and vegetarian, and the reception and service were as friendly and efficient as ever. On behalf of SATam, please pass my thanks to Liam, Francis and their respective teams.”
Jim McLean (SATam) – December 2018
“In the very short time we have been members, we have really enjoyed our golf and the very friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the Club. We invited a few guests from the Midlands recently and they also liked the friendliness of the staff in the bar and were very impressed with the condition of the course & greens. Looking forward to a long and enjoyable future at Temple and I am certain it will improve my golf in the long term. “
Steve Smith (New Bronze member) – May 2018
“Thank you to Temple for hosting the BCLGA Autumn Meeting. Your staff looked after us so well from the minute we arrived, helping to set up and then providing the lovely food for all 63 competitors as they came in. I was absolutely delighted in the number taking part.”
Gillian Myers (BCLGA Joint Competitions Secretary 2) – September 2018
“Hi Keith, many thanks to the members for letting us play at Temple, especially on a Saturday. It is such a welcoming club and Francis and Patrick were as wonderful as ever!! Penny also turned up to make sure we were OK and was also very helpful. We all enjoyed playing and the course was in fab condition. You couldn’t do anything with the weather I know! Again, many thanks for the use of the course and the help provided by the staff on Saturday.”
Charlie Keenan (Berkshire Ladies 2nd Team Captain) – May 2018
“Please pass my thanks and congratulations to everyone who contributed to the Temple Children’s Xmas party on Saturday. My grandson Ethan had a whale of a time as did the rest of the children as far as I could see. No dramas, no tears, just a group of children (and adults) having a really good time. The format was just right allowing the kids to express themselves without getting carried away. Catering and service, as ever, very good.”
Ken Harris – December 2018
“Just to say how much the Temple Squash group enjoyed its recent visit. The golfers thought the course continues to improve and is now a delight to play. The food and service were much appreciated – to the extent that we wish to return next year!Thanks to everyone once again.”
Bob Eagle – September 2018
” Hi Keith and team, Thank you to Team Temple for the fantastic golf day. As always the hospitality and golf were excellent and everyone had a great time.”
Al Whitaker (Organiser) Spinfield School Golf Day – June 2019
“Apart from the weather (a minor consideration despite the incessant rain which gradually increased towards the end of the round) this was a great day. The course was fantastic and the greens were in great condition despite the rain. The Secretary and all the staff were very accommodating to the point that coffee and biscuits were delivered to the changing room after the round – a welcome sight to 15 bedraggled golfers. The meal and setting was one of the best we have enjoyed and it was unanimously agreed to come again in the summer when good weather could be anticipated!”
Richard Jones – The London Stationers GS – June 2019
” We have received so many letters, emails and telephone calls saying how much you enjoyed my 80th birthday lunch that we believe it must have been a good party. We have to say, however, that many of the compliments were misdirected. Apart from our grandchildren for whom Temple can claim no credit, most of the plaudits should be addressed to the Golf Club. As a family, we were most impressed at the facilities and service provided by Temple. Francis and Liam and their staff could not have been more cooperative throughout the planning and the event. They ensured that everything went seamlessly and we are most grateful to them.”
