About the Sarasota Polo Club

Polo is a community sport like no other. For decades the Sarasota Polo Club has been a popular destination and an important part of the Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch social scenes. The Sarasota Polo Club is one of the largest, most dedicated and enthusiastic polo communities in the world! An estimated 50,000 spectators will be on hand during our 2023 Sarasota Polo Season.

Established in 1991 as the first development in the award-winning, master-planned community of Lakewood Ranch, the Sarasota Polo Club has a remarkable legacy. In 1922 our property was settled as a 28,000-acre timber ranch. Originally the cowboys who worked on our ranch began playing knock-around polo games in their free time. Riding their quarter horses with stock saddles, using make-shift equipment and knowing very little about polo, the cowboys played by their own rules. Rule #1 was the first rider to fall off their horse bought beer for the team, a tradition that remains in place today. Eventually mallets, saddles and a few polo ponies were donated to the “cowboy games” and in 1991, a real polo club was born.

Today, the Sarasota Polo Club spans 170 perfectly-manicured acres. Our world-class facilities include: 45 private equestrian estates, 7 Bermuda grass polo fields, a regulation sized polo arena, a half-mile all-weather training track, stick & ball fields, riding trails, on-site stabling for up to 300 horses, an on-site veterinary clinic, a members clubhouse, and a midfield polo pavilion.
