Prepare for the return of fall polo! New Bridge Polo & Country Club located in Aiken, South Carolina, will proudly host three 4-8 goal national USPA tournaments and competitive women’s polo at the 14- to 18-goal level. Action kicks off in September with the Association Cup, followed by the Northrup Knox Cup and will conclude in October with the Women’s East Coast Open. Originally held as a USPA-sanctioned event, the Women’s East Coast Open has been elevated to national status for 2024 and will make its official debut at New Bridge.
Located east of town in the picturesque countryside of rolling hills and southern pines, New Bridge Polo & Country Club’s 861-acre development provides five world-class polo fields in a private gated-community. In addition to the polo fields, the property features 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 are able to 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 is encouraging all interested teams to sign up. For more information on tournaments or entries, please email Polo Manager Haley Bryan at hbryan2485@aol.com.

The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC.

We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
