Overview The USPA National Polo Center in Wellington, Florida is the permanent home of American polo, owned and run by the United States Polo Association. The grounds cover 168 acres of Wellington's Equestrian Preserve, with six championship fields and a Mediterranean-style stadium on U.S. Polo Assn. Field One. The winter season runs from late December to early May and builds through the Gauntlet of Polo, which ends with the U.S. Open Polo Championship. On site Sunday polo starts at 3 PM on Field One, and spectators walk onto the field at half-time for the divot stomp. Eight hospitality spaces ring the match, from the members' Mallet Grille and the 7th Chukker bar beneath the stands to the ticketed Pavilion Brunch, fieldside tailgates and the Midfield Lounge, a private room at front-row midfield. Friday Polo adds a free happy-hour match with a central bar and food tent, and families are welcome. Audience Sunday polo is one of Palm Beach's social rituals. Members, season ticket holders and regulars come back week after week to host clients and see friends, and first-time guests fill the brunch and tailgates. Talent and Influencers The U.S. Open Polo Championship is played at the 22-goal level, and the Gauntlet draws the top-rated professionals in the sport to Wellington every winter. The U.S. Open Women's Polo Championship and the FIP Women's World Polo Championship bring the leading women's teams to the same fields.
