Founded in 1958 and completing a major refurbishment in December 2016, the club runs 7+ food and beverage outlets (Glasshouse Grill with a signature Josper oven, Wok O'clock Asian dining, Potter's Café), 4+ bar formats (Sports 365 sports bar with 20+ screens, The Distillery cocktail bar, The Deck rooftop bar, Potter's Bar), a bottle shop, family entertainment (Funland arcade, indoor playground), and sports facilities including five purpose-built pickleball courts and a futsal complex described as one of the largest in Australia with 6 all-weather artificial turf courts and 3 international-size pitches.

The business model combines subscription-based membership (A$11 for 3 years, mandatory for residents within 5km) with transaction-based revenue across F&B, gaming, sports facility hire, ticketed entertainment, and functions. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the physical venue plus online booking (sevenrooms for tables, tennisvenues for pickleball, website enquiry for functions). A Pittwater Rewards loyalty program and eftpos prepaid card drive repeat engagement, while a mobile app on Apple and Android provides rewards access, scratchies, and members cash draw. Go-to-market emphasizes community ties: the club sponsors 19 local sporting and community organisations, runs ClubGRANTS and a Community Excellence Program with volunteer recognition awards, and operates a quarterly Pittwater Connect digital magazine alongside weekly eNews and active social media. The CEO is Jason Manning (10 years tenure, 36+ years hospitality sector experience), with a Board of Directors including President Leigh Arnold, SVP Julie Emerson OAM, JVP Darren Crabb, and several directors holding Order of Australia medals, elected on a two-year rotation under the Registered Clubs Act with no remuneration.
