The Calgary Polo Club
Established 1890
Sprawling over 300 acres along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, the Calgary Polo Club is one of North America’s largest and finest polo facilities. It has nine full-sized playing fields with plenty of room for expansion, an outdoor arena and school, Ranch House, viewing for 1,000′s of spectators, and barns that can accommodate up to 450 horses. It is also one of the oldest clubs in North America with a strong heritage of producing superb polo and some of the country’s best competitors.
“We have a strong membership because of our facilities and our well-balanced program of tournaments and match play” says Fred P. Mannix, Past Chairman. “We host Canada’s top polo competitions, the Calgary Cup and Canadian Open. We host 12 tournaments each season.
The Club charges very reasonable membership rates, particularly for new members. To help players enjoy the sport, it offers a training school and fulltime teaching pro, special activities such as youth and women’s polo, and beginner leagues and scrambles. If you don’t play polo, a social membership gives you entry to the dinners and Polo for Charity social events throughout the season.
You can sign your children up for lessons and peewee scrambles, or play competitive women’s polo, or you can take your choice of low, medium and high goal leagues and tournaments,” says Kyle Fargey resident pro and instructor. “Or you can sit back and relax, enjoy the tournaments as well as the social season. we provide something for everyone and our approach has proved to be very successful.”
Private Polo Exhibition Match
Looking for something different for your corporate entertaining? Bring your guests out for an introduction to polo with an exhibition match that is fully explained throughout. We’ll even let you name the teams so you and your guests can pick a side to cheer for. At half time, you are invited to participate in the traditional divot stomp (even the Queen does this) but we can spice it up with a glass of champagne. After the game, retire to the Ranch House where we will arrange for a sumptuous meal to be served to your guests. There are many menu options from a simple BBQ to an elegant five course sit down dinner. We design the event to meet your needs.
