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 9 polo clubs in Pennsylvania as of November 2026, tied with South Carolina for sixth among the states. Five are in western Pennsylvania and four are in the east, from Philadelphia and Bucks County to Lancaster County. For a big spectator day, go to Tinicum Park Polo Club in Erwinna on a summer Saturday. I was told 600 to 1,800 people come to watch.
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
Tinicum Park Polo Club, Erwinna: Hesham, who runs the club, took me to lunch and couldn’t have been kinder. Matches are on Saturday afternoons from mid-May through September, on a field inside a county park along the Delaware River. It’s one of the best examples of polo built for the public that I saw on my whole tour.
