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 and teams in Massachusetts as of November 2026, and most are on the North Shore: Myopia and Harvard in South Hamilton, Stage Hill in Newbury, and Babson’s team in Georgetown. Massachusetts is summer polo country.
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.
Every U.S. Polo Association Club in Massachusetts
Here’s every Massachusetts club and team in the USPA directory. I played at, visited, or contacted two of them on my tour, and my notes are below. The rest come straight from the directory, with each club’s town where it lists one.
Clubs I Know Firsthand
Harvard University Polo Club, South Hamilton: A quick tour of the indoor arena, barn, and paddocks. There’s no outdoor field.
Myopia Polo Club, South Hamilton: Tricia took me riding. Myopia has two fields and is part of a larger club.
More USPA Clubs in Massachusetts
Babson College Polo Team, Georgetown (college team)
Stage Hill Polo Club, Newbury (polo school listed)
The Polo Club at HBS (covered arena, polo school listed)
Also from my tour: Boston Polo Club, where I stick-and-balled bareback, isn’t in the USPA directory under that name. The owner bought the place and runs it himself to keep polo alive there: two large barns, one field, and an arena. A little scrappy, and very real. Club details change, so check the USPA club directory before you drive out.

Summer. Most clubs in the Northeast play June through early fall, and college teams are out for the summer. See the season calendar.
