Temple Golf Club

What Temple Golf Club does

Temple Golf Club is a private, non-profit members' golf club founded in 1909 and opened on 4 May 1910, located on a 190-acre site at Henley Road, Hurley, Berkshire, UK (SL6 5LH). The club operates an 18-hole championship course designed by two-time Open Champion Willie Park Jr., measuring 6,190 yards from the white tees with a Par of 70, built on free-draining chalk downland that supports year-round playability and offers panoramic views over Marlow and the Thames Valley.

The club runs a multi-revenue-stream business model anchored by recurring membership subscriptions across four playing tiers (Platinum unlimited rounds at £2,320/year; Gold up to 52 rounds at £2,015; Silver up to 35 rounds at £1,540; Bronze up to 20 rounds at £1,045), supplemented by Junior memberships, a £258/year Social membership, visitor green fees with dynamic time-of-day pricing, society and corporate day packages (Temple Classic from £92/person, Temple Platinum from £125/person), PGA professional lessons and coaching, a fully stocked Pro Shop operating under the Foremost Golf buying group, an indoor Swing Studio with simulator (coaching, practice, course play, yardage gapping, ball fitting), and clubhouse food and beverage operations. Distribution is primarily domestic (South East England) via online tee booking on the Intelligent Golf platform, direct sales, and physical clubhouse retail.

The club's operational technology is built on the Intelligent Golf website platform, which handles online member management, competition management, World Handicap System synchronization, and tee-time booking. The course was designed by one of the world's foremost golf course architects (who also designed the Old Course at Sunningdale) and the club has historical associations with Sir Henry Cotton and the Oppenheimer family, the latter represented today by Club President Nicky Oppenheimer. The club holds GEO Certified and Safe Golf certifications and serves a diversified customer base including individual members, day visitors, golf societies, corporate groups, school and county-level events, and competition golfers.
