Real Estate in Barrington & The Northwest Suburbs: Barrington Hills Polo Club - A Very Well Kept Secret

Barrington Hills Polo Club - A Very Well Kept Secret

Polo players, horse lovers and equestrian residents of Barrington Hills are likely to know all about The Polo Club of Barrington Hills.  Yet The Polo Club of Barrington Hills is a very well kept secret and cannot be found on an easy drive around the Barrington Hills Countryside. To visit the club you must be either a member or be invited as a guest.

So where is it and what goes on there? Although the formal address is on Bateman Road in Barrington Hills the Polo Club can only be reached by crossing private property. It is therefore necessary for the owners of that property to grant an easement for access to the polo club field. Members and guests that visit the club to play or watch matches or training must drive down a private residential road. So regardless of whether you know where it is or not, you cannot just go and watch, you must be a member or be invited. This is due to the restrictions laid down by The Village of Barrington Hills.


Originally founded in the late 1980's the Barrington Hills Polo Club has both a regulation grass field with full irrigation and a regulation outdoor arena as well as 2 smaller indoor facilities for the winter months. Barrington Hills Polo can be played year round. Barrington Hills Polo Club is the only Chicago-land club to have a training school. They offer fast paced matches and training as well as a juniors club. So even if you have never played before the school can have you playing polo on your very first lesson. Teacher are USPA rated players and students follow a proven-effective program. Guys and gals all welome to join.

If you would like to join and start playing polo call the lub at (847) 854-1415
The only "Open to the Public" event at Barrington Hills Polo Club in 2010 will be The Annual Kalaway Landowners Cup on September 12. See you there! The rest of the year is filled with events but remember-Members Only.
