    Polo in Philippines

    The Philippines has a growing polo scene centred on the Manila Polo Club, one of Asia's oldest polo clubs founded in 1909 and located in Forbes Park, Makati. The Club remains the heart of Philippine polo, offering excellent facilities including multiple fields, a modern clubhouse, and a vibrant membership community. Beyond Manila, clubs in Alabang and Clark have expanded access to the sport. The Philippine polo season runs year-round, with peak tournament activity from October through April during the cooler dry season. Filipino polo benefits from strong connections with Argentine and British professionals who visit for tournaments, and an affluent membership base that supports high standards of play and hospitality.

    Alabang Polo Club

    ,

    Alabang Polo Club is the Philippines' most prominent polo club in the southern Metro Manila area, serving the Alabang district's community of polo players and equestrian enthusiasts in one of the country's most affluent and well-established residential zones. Situated within reach of Makati and the Bonifacio Global City business districts while maintaining the space and green character necessary for polo, Alabang provides Manila's polo community with a well-established home for the sport. The club is a fixture in the Metro Manila polo circuit, hosting local tournaments and welcoming visiting players from other Philippine clubs and occasional international guests. Polo in the Philippines has a history rooted in the country's American colonial period and maintained by a small but passionate community of players, and Alabang Polo Club is one of the institutions that has sustained that tradition through successive generations of Filipino polo enthusiasts. The club's social life — events, corporate days, and the informal gatherings of the polo community — is as important as its competitive programme in maintaining the sport's place in Manila's equestrian culture.

    Calatagan Polo Club

    ,

    Calatagan Polo Club is a distinctive coastal polo destination south of Manila on the Batangas Peninsula, offering players and spectators the extraordinary combination of competitive polo and beachside tropical scenery on one of the Philippines' most scenic stretches of coastline. The club hosts weekend tournaments and chukker programmes for the Philippines' polo community, attracting players from Manila and other parts of Luzon who combine polo with the leisure activities of one of the country's premier beach resort areas. Its setting — with views of the South China Sea and the Mindoro Strait — gives Calatagan a visual appeal that few polo clubs worldwide can match, and its weekend tournament programme has made it a popular destination for the Manila polo community's social and competitive calendar.

    Manila Polo Club

    ,

    Manila Polo Club is one of Asia's oldest and most distinguished polo institutions, founded in 1909 in the Forbes Park district of Makati — one of metropolitan Manila's most exclusive residential enclaves. The club's more than a century of continuous operation places it among the great surviving polo clubs of Asia, a living connection to the colonial era when polo was the defining sport of the British and American administrative classes across the Pacific and Southeast Asia. The club's Forbes Park location provides a remarkable urban polo experience: manicured grounds surrounded by the executive residences of Manila's most successful families, with the city's modern skyline visible beyond the club's perimeter. Manila Polo Club has evolved from a colonial institution into a genuinely Filipino institution, embraced by the country's most prominent families as a venue that combines sporting excellence with social prestige of the highest order. The club hosts a competitive season of polo that includes both domestic tournaments and international matches, attracting visiting teams from Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, and occasionally further afield. Its centennial status gives Manila Polo Club an authority in Southeast Asian polo circles that newer clubs cannot match, and its tournament calendar includes events of genuine historical significance. Beyond polo, Manila Polo Club offers its members a full range of social facilities — dining, corporate event spaces, and recreational amenities — that reflect its position as one of the Philippines' premier private clubs. Membership represents one of Metro Manila's most coveted social affiliations, combining sporting prestige with access to the country's most exclusive social network.
