About this yard
Guards Polo Club is based at Smith's Lawn in Windsor Great Park and is the largest polo club in Europe by membership and number of grounds. Ten polo fields are spread across Smith's Lawn, Flemish Farm and Coworth Park. The season runs April to mid-September with over 600 matches a year, played Tuesday to Sunday across all three sites. Founded in 1955 and historically tied to the Royal Family, Guards is one of the most internationally recognised polo clubs in the world. Playing membership is by recommendation from a current playing member followed by interview; social membership is open more broadly.
