The SAIGC comprises of male, female and junior members, with new members joining reguarly.

The SAIGC was the second registered ‘Italian’ golf club in the world outside of Italy. The first is the Victorian Italian Golf Association, NSW formed an Italian Golf Association in 1996, Queensland followed suit in 2003 and Western Australia formed in 2016. Since then, all five clubs compete annually in what is known as the Festival City Challenge Cup.
