Columbus Polo Club

Columbus Polo always welcomes new player and non-playing associate members.

In general:

-Columbus Polo members’ annual dues cover the cost of field rental, field mowing, club insurance, umpires, and other joint expenses. Various membership types are available, including full player member, first-year player member, and non-playing associate member. Please contact a club officer to discuss what is best for you.

-As required by our club insurance, all people riding horses at Columbus Polo events must be members of the USPA. USPA membership is also required to receive a handicap, which is necessary to play in tournaments. Reduced cost student and first-year player memberships are available from the USPA. 

-Players provide their own horses and equipment. Established members may, on an individual basis, be willing to help you give polo a try if you don’t yet have your own trained horses.  Many new players also get a start in polo by working as a polo groom for a season. 

-Tailgating is a polo tradition. If you prefer to participate from the sidelines, pack up your cooler and join us! Associate members are invited to all club functions and  parties.
