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 4 polo clubs in Ohio as of November 2026: two around Cincinnati, one near Columbus, and one east of Cleveland. Polo in Ohio is a summer sport.
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.
