New Bridge Polo Club reflects the southern charm and ambiance of Aiken, South Carolina. Located east of town in the picturesque countryside of rolling hills and southern pines, the 861-acre development provides five world-class polo fields in a private gated-community. In addition to the polo fields, there is a beautiful colonial-style clubhouse with a restaurant, player's bar and outdoor asado area for post-game parties. Home to both spring and fall tournament seasons, avid players will be immersed in competitive, fast paced polo. Stick-and-ball fields, practice areas, and an exercise track make this the perfect place to prepare for tournament action. Spectators can sit on the porch and gaze at the spectacular view of Field 1 and enjoy the natural tranquility of New Bridge. Please visit their website for more information.
New Bridge Polo & Country Club will host two national 8-goal tournaments and four national 12-goal tournaments, including competitive arena polo in the National Arena Chairman’s Cup this coming Fall 2022. New Bridge Polo & Country Club is encouraging all interested teams to sign up. For more information, please email Polo Manager, Haley Bryan at hbryan2485@aol.com.
