I often hear the question where is a great place to live or go to and play Polo. There are some great places here in North America many do not know of and some I do not know of as well there are even some amazing places for sale. Let us know of some I missed .
WINTER TIME
The Crown Jewel of places to go and play fun Polo has to be :
Costa Careyes , Mexico In late fall and Winter Look it up it is on Web and it goes until May and is like no place you will ever go or see so much fun and Weather well it does not ever get better.
Heading North
IPC well this is the big time big Polo big places big prices , where barns are Mansions for the Horses and the fields , Well the best and some for sale . Zacara Farms, Pedro Morrisons and Wayne Garrisons places all big and very nice.
Normal fun places to play Polo try the West Coast of the Sunshine State at Sarasota Polo or go back to the East coast of Fl. and try Gulfstream Polo or Port of Mayaca just north of IPC and late spring there is not a much better place to be than The Villages Polo club they are all very nice and user friendly.
THE DESERT there is not many if any places like it for POLO and most Sports Golf,Tennis,Hiking,Skiing,flying or Mountain climbing it is not the Paradise of Costa Careyes but it has so many things a 90 minute trip can get you to the beach or Hollywood or Rodeo Drive or Sking in Bog Bear. They have 20 Polo fields at the 2 clubs and Empire Polo Club is probably a prettier place than IPC and that is without a pause it is amazing both Empire and ElDorado have amazing crowds and the Price is right take 50 % off and you never get rained out and they work with the Working Patron play is Friday thru Sunday and you get two tournament games ever weekend . There is a lot of things people do not know about the Desert it is much bigger than when the Open was last played here and it is so nice that you have an idea your at the Country club now not the Bunk house . You do not need an Umbrella and it will be 70 + everday just so nice and best of all you can play 3 months for what it cost back East for 1 Mo, and yes they do have an Airport . You can fly from Heathrow in exactly the same time it takes you to get to West Palm Beach as well. They do not have 20 goal Polo anymore because you will not see how great it is. CHECK IT OUT You will be Happy U DID.
On the Polo firld down South as in IPC where the big boys are playing the Missle known as Julian Mannix is out to show Big Bro FM # 2 he can get to the finals as well here is a taste of Desert Polo as Julian as well as Super 5 goal hustle Clemente @ are both on this team and they face Crab Orchard with a pair of Double US Open winners Facundo Pieres and Mr Laprida but I do not think it will be a three Peat in the other semis it is Valiente Led By Big Bo Jorvanyz out of Colorado but a one time Desert Man and a kid who grew up here Santi Torres here in So. Cal. and Super Star from this area youth Polo Sapo Casset they also have a Fellow named Cambiaso who just likes to WIN they take on the OWLS od Venezala and this will not be a walkover as they have Victor Vargas and he is backed up by wella 10 goaler as well named Nero and another Pieres as in Nico and Mr Espain and I do not think any of them have been to the Desert. So do not miss the action back East where the Polo fields will be packed but nothing like the Desert because there will be 200 thousand people at the Polo grounds in the Desert this weekend but well no Polo it is Coachella time .
Summer List comming soon !
