The Royal County Of Berkshire Polo Club

Polo is on the curriculum at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, set in open countryside on the edge of Windsor. The club runs Cool Hooves Polo Academy, a coaching programme that takes riders from their first mallet swing through to arena polo and beyond. Beginners are actively catered for, so no prior polo experience is needed before signing up for lessons. Group and individual sessions are available, with on-site stabling supporting a full polo horse operation.

The club's facilities centre on an all-weather outdoor polo arena, used for coaching and for the faster format of arena polo. Beyond the arena, members and visitors can make use of the polo fields, a croquet lawn, tennis courts and a clubhouse. The Royal Pavilion adds a formal event space that ties the sporting and hospitality sides of the club together, making the site a working polo ground by day and an events venue by evening.

Outside of polo, the club hires out its spaces for weddings, corporate events and Christmas parties, drawing on the pavilion, clubhouse and surrounding grounds. Weekday afternoons and evenings from Wednesday to Friday are open to players and visitors, and the doors open from midday at weekends. Mondays are reserved as a closed day, with the exception of bank holidays when the club runs from 2pm to 8pm. Tuesday opening depends on scheduled polo activity, so it is worth checking ahead.

Located in Windsor within Bracknell Forest in South East England, the postcode is SL4 4TH, with car parking available on site. Polo memberships are offered for regular players who want year-round access to the club's arenas, fields and social facilities. Anyone interested in lessons, membership or hiring the venue can contact the club directly to discuss availability and arrange a first visit.
