Basically, your membership fee goes towards prizes and the year-end awards banquet. The club gets to block book a 2-1/2 hour period every second Saturday morning for club play. These are prime time tee off times.
Thus, because you are a member, you don't have to spend forever on the phone trying to get through to book a tee-off time on a Saturday morning. Anyone who has ever tried to book a tee time for Saturday morning knows how frustrating that can be.... Get up at 6:00 am on a Wednesday....dial, busy signal, hang up, dial again, busy, hang up, dial again.... etc. etc.
You just have to let the club know that you want to play that Saturday and they will put your name on the list of players playing that day.
Also, the fee pays for your membership in the RCGA, where you can record your scores on-line and it calculates your handicap. I think you also get a RCGA rule book.
