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 6 polo clubs and teams in Michigan as of November 2026. Meadowview Farm in Lowell, outside Grand Rapids, has some of the best grass I saw anywhere, and Michigan’s indoor arenas keep polo going through the winter.
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.

Clubs I Know Firsthand
Detroit Polo Club, Howell: The Sunday event was called off because of rain, so I only saw it from the outside. It looks large.
Meadowview Farm Polo Club, Lowell: Pete was extremely kind. An indoor arena, an outdoor arena, huge horses, and honestly one of the best grass fields I’ve ever seen. Low-goal and friendly, and they play through the winter.
Michigan State University Polo Club, Williamston: I visited the women’s team. They practice two-on-two in an indoor arena and play right through the winter.
