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. Lifestyle membership at Temple offers an affordable, flexible, inclusive and family-friendly membership for today's golfer. In addition and for those who enjoy competition golf, many of our weekday and weekend competitions are open to ladies and men.

” I would like to express my thanks to all those who contributed to making my Captain’s Day a real success. From Stan, Matthew and yourself, Liam and colleagues, Francis and Rowena, George and Jackie, Michael and Arron in the Pro Shop, in fact, all Temple staff. Having a Starter welcome us to the Club was a nice touch. My colleagues were all impressed, as expressed to me, with the quality of the course, the BBQ food and friendly professionalism of the staff. Would you please pass on my sincere thanks to what was clearly a memorable day, that did Temple Golf Club proud.”
Nick Middle (The Berkshire GS) – July 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
” Our family party was a huge success yesterday, in large measure because everyone at Temple excelled themselves in what they did. Our thanks to Liam for a lunch which everyone greatly enjoyed and for the wonderful staff service, George being so helpful in every way. Poppy and I were proud of Temple showcasing itself so well yet again.Thank you, John”
John Pool (Family lunch) – November 2019
“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
” Dear Keith (and all staff) – can I just say on behalf of BCLGA a very big “Thank You” to yourself and all your staff for a very successful AGM on last night (Wed 15 Jan 2020). The AGM went very well with quite a good turnout despite the weather forecast. The staff at Temple were excellent, attentive and made everyone very welcome. It really is a pleasure to come to Temple Golf Club. Please convey my appreciation to them all.
Irene Gregory (Hon Sec – BCLGA) – January 2020
“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
“Thanks for everything yesterday – it could not have been better – and the day turned out to be most successful. I have received many murmurs of approval – both last evening and this morning by email – so, I suspect we shall be back again next year, if you’ll have us. I’ve thanked everyone at the Club individually – saw the bar staff last night and saw Liam this morning – the food was absolutely splendid and the service was great – got the balls from the Pro Shop and all was well. Thanks again for all – ciao.”
John Pagliero (Old Honitonians Golf Society) – September 2018
“We had a great evening recently when 25 of us sat down to a delicious dinner. With a choice of 4 dishes per course everyone was able to select their own dish which naturally meant a lot of preparation for each person as we all had different dishes!. It was all beautifully presented and very very tasty!! Well done Liam and team. We were very ably served and looked after all evening by Francis and his very attentive staff. We shall be back and I shall be grateful if you will convey our thanks and congratulations to all those concerned on the night.”
David de Bromhead (Dinner Organiser) – August 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
” 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.”
