The Men's Club is very active and welcomes golfers at all levels of the game - beginner and experienced. Lady Captain Stephanie Gorman also points out that the Ladies' section has been organising lessons for beginners to encourage ladies to take up golf, and this innovation is continuing this year.

The Junior section has yielded several very successful young golfers, with Daniel Murphy leading the pack. Daniel won the Leinster and Ulster Boys Championships in 2009, along with the Leinster and Irish Order of Merit for 2009, a remarkable achievement. 12 year old Maedhbh Doyle has also had notable achievements during 2009, including having the best nett score in the Midland Girls under 18 competition in June. The Club has adopted the Junior Charter of the GUI, meaning that the Club places the welfare of young golfers very high on its list of priorities.
