The History

Polo Classic

Polo was first played in California in 1877. By the turn of the century, polo was being played in the San Diego area, on Coronado Island. Los Angeles quickly became an exciting center for the sport, boasting several top-ranked clubs and a long list of celebrity players such as Will Rogers. The Santa Rosa Polo Club was formed in 1969 in the beautiful Valley of the Moon. The Club was eventually renamed The Wine Country Polo Club.
