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.

“Hi Keith, Thanks again for yesterday. I forgot to say that I have trouble recalling when I have played out of a/ so many bunkers and b/ how consistent they were. In my view they were just the right depth, great quality of sand and a joy to be in which is very very rare. Congratulations to you all and please pass it on if appropriate – my comment is based on many years of experience as a PGA Professional Golfer and Club Manager.”

“Thank you so much for everything at the AGM last Sunday and all Temple does for Archie and Finlay. They were both very chuffed with their amazing crystal trophies. They did not know so it was a lovely surprise. They were over the moon. Send my thanks to everyone and see you hopefully next week at skills in the course. Many thanks Emma”

” 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.”

“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.”
