Each match attracts thousands of spectators from New York City, Fairfield, and around the world, who enjoy an afternoon of world-class polo sport with friends and family. The club offers a variety of experiences, from lawn picnic seating with reserved umbrellas and painted circles in the grass, to reserved bistro tables in front of the grandstand, private SkyBoxes, or tickets to The Players’ Lounge tent. For larger groups or special occasions, consider booking a Player’s Lounge Suite for ten guests or a private cabana for up to 25. Entry to Greenwich Polo club is keeping in tradition with a car pass.

Grab your “Chukker” and partake in the storied polo tradition of stomping the divots during halftime. The Greenwich Polo Club offers the most Instagram-worthy venue to visit this summer.
