Temple Golf Club: Teeing-up at the downhill par-4 first, with the Thames valley spread out in front of you and the river visible in the distance, you immediately feel something special about this golf course. Play here on a sunny day in the autumn when the leaves turn colour, and it is very special indeed.
The undulating terrain continues throughout, but not to the extent that you feel the course is at all hard work on the legs. The beautiful Thames valley views are present throughout, but you'll also need to expend some optical energy weighing up several tight drives and carefully picking the line through the sand and grass bunkers to greens that are generally quick, sloping and often slightly elevated.
There are too many good holes to mention them all, but special note is given to the three long par-3's (200 yards plus); not least among these is the 10th, a long par-3 with a hidden green, sunk down in its own little bowl - its an absolute gem.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; more restricted on weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts only available for hire for medical reasons.

Temple Island on the River Thames at nearby Remenham plays host to a "temple" summerhouse built in the mid 1700's (well worth a visit), but as you'll gather from the Golf Club's emblem, the club's name is associated with the Knights Templars of an earlier age.
The large, white, castle-like building that you can see across the valley from the front nine holes is Danesfield House, a 4-star luxury hotel (see below).
Nearby Henley is a wonderful town on the Thames, with plenty more to attract visitors than just the Royal Regatta - the oldest and most prestigious rowing regatta in England, held annually in late June / early July.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
