He himself has a dog and he noted that several of the board members for the club golf with their dogs too. Some clubs do allow dogs, but you get the sense that it is a rarely exploited courtesy and the members aren\u2019t really that accustomed to canine companions on the fairways. But the pro noted that golfers with dogs were quite regular at Temple (we didn\u2019t see any during our round, but the weather was a bit questionable and there weren\u2019t many golfers out full stop).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em>Walk<\/em>: \u00a0The course is a modest length (5700 yards) but does have quite a bit of hilliness which will give your walk a bit of effort. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em>Water<\/em>: \u00a0There are 3 water fountains along the course including one equipped with a dog bowl on the 17<sup>th<\/sup> hole (see below).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">For our post-pins provender took us back across the river to our home town of Marlow and the popular <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-prince-of-wales.co.uk\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Prince of Wales<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #008000;\"> pub.
