It caters to a wide range of players, including full members, five-day members, ladies, and juniors, welcoming all levels from beginners to advanced players.

Other notable competitions include the Pierce Purcell, the Leinster Fourball, and the Jimmy Carroll Cup. Social and competitive camaraderie is central to the club's culture, with midweek and weekend competitions held throughout the year. Members frequently participate in a nine-hole Scramble and BBQ during summer evenings, as well as an annual Ryder Cup-style matchplay event known as 'The Dubs V The Rest', where members compete in their county colours. The club philosophy emphasizes enjoying the game, the friendly atmosphere, and post-round refreshments.
