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 three national USPA tournaments and competitive women’s polo at the 10- to-14-goal level. 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.
Additionally, New Bridge Polo & Country Club will serve as host of the National Youth Tournament Series (NYTS) Championship. Established to provide youth players the opportunity to compete with and against their peers, All-Stars will be selected from qualifying events across the country to compete for the Cecil Smith Cup and NYTS Girls’ Championship. The semifinals and finals of both the NYTS Championship and NTYS Girls’ Championship will be livestreamed exclusively on the USPA Polo Network.

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.
