The waterside site on Lady Martin's Beach in Felix Bay was purchased in the same year on which a purpose-built clubhouse and bowling green were constructed.[1] Its first race was held on Saturday 18 November 1922.[2] In 1935 it was granted permission to use the prefix "Royal"[3] although newspaper reports from its inception used this title.[2]
