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.

” > 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
“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”
Emma Smith (Mother of junior members Archie and Finlay Creffield) – November 2017
“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
” 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
” 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.”
Keith & Margot Whittle and family – June 2019
“As Lynda and I said to you this morning we would like to put on record our gratitude and appreciation for how well we were looked after yesterday. As a member of Temple I am well aware of the professionalism and friendliness of the Temple team, but we were particularly touched by the enthusiasm of Liam and Francis during the planning of our lunch party. On the day the quality of the food, the attention to detail and the friendly help and support of both the kitchen and front of house teams could not have been bettered. All our 50 plus guests were full of compliments.Add to this the location and the great value on offer, we in Temple have something very special to enjoy. Thanks again to everyone.

“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
” 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.

“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.”
