A sporting match After playing football for over 20 years of my life, I needed a contact sport that I could continue to play at a high level. To me polo is like football on horseback. I started playing in 2012, and after a few lessons I was hooked. I grew up on a horse farm,
so riding was the easy part.

Building on tradition Chicago has a long history of the sport of polo. Our goal is to build off the past and create a brighter future of past traditions while adding new ones to get more people involved—so Chicago will once again be Polo Town USA.

A bright future at Arranmore After establishing Chicago’s only full-service club in 2019 with the creation of Las Brisas Farm and Polo Club in Elgin, our membership has outgrown our current facility. Having Las Brisas offer programing at Arranmore Farm + Polo Club seemed like a perfect fit to grow polo in the Chicagoland area.
