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 5 polo clubs in Kentucky as of November 2026, and four of them are in Bluegrass horse country around Lexington and Paris. The fifth is in Louisville.
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.

Also from my tour: I watched a University of Louisville Polo Club game on a big, flat field near the freeway, with a pretty good level of play and an easygoing crowd. It isn’t in the USPA directory under that name. Club details change, so check the USPA club directory before you drive out.
