Adelaide Polo Club

Adelaide Polo Club is South Australia's premier polo venue and the hub of a polo community that draws on the state's strong equestrian heritage and its tradition of outdoor sporting culture. Located within the Adelaide metropolitan area, the club provides an accessible polo experience for South Australia's population while maintaining the competitive standards required to participate in national polo circuits. The club's grounds have hosted South Australian polo for decades, serving as the venue for the state's most significant competitive events and as the home base for a membership that includes some of the state's most committed equestrian enthusiasts.

Arunga Polo Club

Arunga Polo Club is one of Australia's most remarkable and geographically distinctive polo venues, located in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory — in the very heart of the Australian continent. Polo in the Red Centre is a testament to the sport's extraordinary reach across the Australian landscape, and Arunga Polo Club has built a loyal community of players and enthusiasts in one of the world's most dramatic desert environments. Playing polo in Alice Springs means competing against a backdrop of the ancient red rock formations and desert landscapes that define central Australia, with the MacDonnell Ranges providing a spectacular horizon. The club operates during the cooler months of the Australian year when the desert climate makes outdoor sport manageable, and it attracts players from across the Territory and from interstate who make the journey to experience outback polo at its most authentic. Arunga hosts tournaments and chukkas that form an important part of the social and sporting calendar of Alice Springs, and the club serves a vital community function in a remote location where sport and social activity are essential to community life. Polo at Arunga is a genuinely unique experience — remote, spectacular, and deeply Australian.
