I’m Amanda Leon, an international amateur polo player, world traveler, and lover of horses. I’ve trained in polo for over 10 years, from Argentina to Sarasota Polo Club, and in 2021 I set out to visit every polo club in America.
The short answer: the U.S. Polo Association’s club directory lists 7 polo clubs in Connecticut as of November 2026. For a polished spectator day, go to Greenwich Polo Club, where I watched an 8-goal final. For a full family day out, Farmington Polo Club sells the whole experience. And at Yale, I played two chukkers in a good arena.
These notes come from my 2021 and 2022 tour, when I tried to visit every polo club in America as a playing USPA member. Seasons, contacts, and prices change, so check each club’s Instagram or the U.S. Polo Association before you go.

Farmington Polo Club, Farmington: I got a tour from Heather. Flags everywhere, movies on the jumbotron, hunter-jumper riding, and a girls’ summer camp. Farmington sells the whole day.
Greenwich Polo Club, Greenwich: Beautiful fields, very polished, and the full Greenwich experience. I watched an 8-goal final here.
