Established in 1886, the Singapore Polo Club stands as one of Asia's oldest and most esteemed polo institutions. Situated just a 20-minute drive from the central district, it provides extensive facilities and services tailored for both polo and equestrian enthusiasts.

Regarding membership amenities, the club features two restaurants, a gym, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a wellness centre, club rooms, and more. It also offers facilities for polo and other equestrian activities like jumping and dressage. This includes a regulation-sized polo field, a covered arena measuring approximately 140 feet by 220 feet, and additional outdoor arenas for polo and riding. The club provides livery services for its members within its stabling facilities, which accommodate over 100 stalls. The polo club is affiliated with the Hurlingham Polo Association (HPA).

Individuals interested in participating in equestrian and club activities are required to become members, with the club offering a variety of membership categories.

Colts Polo 

Colts Polo, located at the Turf Club in Singapore, is an arena polo club driven by grassroots efforts. It focuses on fostering a friendly and inclusive environment that caters to individuals of all ages and skill levels. Boasting the largest polo arena in Singapore, measuring 260 x 160 feet in a Formula Polo style without boards, it is accredited by the Argentine Polo Association (AAP). This makes Colts the first and only polo school outside Argentina to receive such recognition.

The club does not require membership for participation and is celebrated for its warm, family-like atmosphere. Additionally, the school benefits from its base at the Singapore Turf Club Riding Centre, where chukkers and matches are sometimes held in the expansive covered arena.

Atoms Polo Academy

Based at the Singapore Polo Club, ATOMS Polo Academy has swiftly expanded to be recognised as one of the world's largest polo academies, boasting over 500 active participants. Targeting primarily beginners, ATOMS offers a nurturing and engaging setting to introduce newcomers to the sport. The academy makes use of the Singapore Polo Club’s facilities and features a Dedicated ATOMS Club Room for younger players, complete with board games, a foosball table, and a PlayStation 4.

What to Know

• Similar to many regions in Southeast Asia, Singapore experiences significant rainfall during its rainy season, which can negatively impact grass polo. Nevertheless, Singapore provides arena polo options, such as Colts, which specialises in this format, enabling play even in adverse weather conditions.
• As with any polo club or school, it is advisable to contact them in advance if you intend to visit or utilise their facilities.
