The men's section provides five teams for the official field hockey game operation, which compete between the highest Scottish league and the regional Midland Leagues. The Menzieshill Hockey Club existed since 1969. For the 1982/83 season the promotion to the first division succeeded, which Menzieshill has been a member of except for one season since then. In 1986 and 1989 the club was Scottish field hockey champions and was also able to win three national cups. In the 2010s, Menzieshill was able to establish himself in the upper half of the table and qualified for the European Field Hockey Cup for the first time since 1990 by participating in the EuroHockey Club Trophy 2017 . In 1986 the team at the Club Champions Cup in Terrassa secured the starting place in the first class for the following European Cup season despite only one draw in four games in Scotland. Nationally known Scottish selection players the club spawned include Gav Byers, Paul Golden and Nikki Kleppang. The 2nd team has won the North Regional League three times since 2006 and now only plays in the Midland District League Division 1 again .

The results that Menzieshill achieved in indoor hockey are far better than on the field . Since the formation of the National League First Division , the club has been top notch, winning 19 Scottish championships, making it the record champions. In the seventeen European Cup appearances, Menzieshill was able to win the second-rate EuroHockey Club Champions Trophy in 1993 and 1999 . The club achieved its greatest international success at the EuroHockey Club Champions Cup 2008 in Perth , where the team reached the semi-finals after winning the preliminary round against the Spanish champions Club de Campo Villa de Madrid and the Swiss champions Lucerne SC . There the later cup winner Crefelder HTC prevailed clearly 9-0. There are a total of three men's teams, the second team plays in the second highest Scottish indoor league, which they finished first in 2011 and 2012.

The women 's teams follow the tradition of Bonagrass Grove , founded in 1922. There are three field hockey teams. The first team plays in the highest Scottish league, the National League Division 1 . With ten championships and nine cup wins, the team is one of the most successful in Scotland. The team's local rivals are the Dundee Wanderers , who also play in the Scottish Premier League.

Due to the national successes, the team took part in numerous European tournaments. The international qualification has been achieved every year since 2004. Before all in the 2000s, Grove was able to keep up with the continental top. At the Cup Winners Cup 2001 in Rome, the team beat the Real Club de Polo de Barcelona 3: 1 in the game for 3rd place . In 2002 Grove won the Club Trophy, which meant that Scotland was again eligible to compete in the world-class Champions Cup the following year . At the Cup Winners Cup 2004 in Laren, the Netherlands, the team was able to repeat the bronze success of three years earlier. In the small final, Grove got the upper hand 5-1 against the clipper THC from Hamburg.

The second team occurs in the Scottish Championship League and the third team in the Midland League Division 2 . The club produced numerous national players. Linda Clement was the captain of the Scottish national team, for which she scored 61 goals in 241 appearances. Pauline Scott was the captain of the UK team at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Alison Ramsay and Sue Fraser won the bronze medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

The club also had some success in indoor hockey in the women's area. Between 2002 and 2012 eight national championship titles could be won. In the meantime, however, local rival Dundee Wanderers has taken over national supremacy. At the eight European Cup tournaments, the first appearance was crowned with winning the Euro Hockey Club Trophy 2003.
