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 228 polo clubs and teams across 40 states and Washington, D.C., as of November 2026. California has the most, with 31, followed by Texas with 26, Florida and Virginia with 19 each, and New York with 16. Pick your state below: every state page lists each club in the directory, with my notes on the ones I played at, visited, or contacted on my tour.
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.

How to Find a Polo Club Near You
Start with your state page above. Each one lists every club in the USPA directory with its town, plus whether the directory lists a polo school, an arena, or a college or interscholastic team.
Follow the clubs on Instagram. Schedules change often, and many clubs post them there.
Match the season. Winter polo is in Florida and the California desert, and most clubs up north play in summer. See when polo season is.
Try arena polo first. In Los Angeles, arena polo is the easiest way in, and arenas keep some clubs playing all winter.
Call ahead. Some clubs are private. Clubs on Long Island and in New Jersey told me they’re closed to the public.
Where to Watch Polo
Roseland Polo at King Family Vineyards, Crozet, Virginia: free to watch on Sundays from Memorial Day weekend through the end of October, and the most people I’ve ever seen at a polo game.
Newport Polo, Portsmouth, Rhode Island: Saturdays in summer, with a few thousand people, a jumbotron, and fans cheering for players by name.
Tinicum Park Polo Club, Erwinna, Pennsylvania: Saturday afternoons from mid-May through September, in a county park.
Big Horn Polo Club, Wyoming: Sunday games in July and August are free to watch.
National Polo Center, Wellington, Florida: I watched a 22-goal Sunday game here in April 2022. Tickets were $20, and I paid $10 to park.
Where to Take Polo Lessons
The USPA directory lists a polo school at 144 of its 228 U.S. clubs and teams. On my tour, lessons ran from $80 for an hour and a half of stick and ball at St. Croix Polo Club in Wisconsin to $500 for a lesson with Memo Gracida at La Herradura in 2021.
