The San Diego Surf Polo Club
Indeed, you’re just minutes away from the San Diego Surf Polo Club in Del Mar, a worthy complement to the famous Thoroughbred racetrack at the Del Mar Fairgrounds not far away. The club’s gorgeous grounds serve as a fabulous place to get a taste for polo up-close and personal, with a packed season of Sunday matches to choose from.
On August 26th, for instance, you can catch the championship match of the San Diego County Polo Friendship Cup. On September 2nd, meanwhile, the California Clubs Polo Invite Cup sees teams from around the region squaring off; the following Sunday, September 9th, the club hosts four teams contesting the two matches of the San Diego Surf Polo Cup.
On September 16th, you can enjoy the Gutierrez Memorial Cup played by Team Argentina and Team Mexico alongside a tequila-tasting party. The Del Mar Cup follows this up on September 23rd.
