How to start playing polo or having polo riding lesson
If you already have a polo handicap
1) Send in a letter or email of request to start playing polo to polo@singaporepoloclub.org and address it to the Polo Captain, accompanied by a letter of introduction from the Club where you are currently playing polo. Most importantly the letter must state your polo handicap.

2) Once the Polo Captain approved your request, you will need to undergo a polo assessment to determine if you are suitable to start playing polo. The assessment usually last for half an hour and cost $90 inclusive of 7%GST (rates subject to change). There will be an additional 50% charge for non-member.

3) Upon passing the assessment, you will need to purchase a Chartered Individual or Chartered Corporate membership to start playing polo.

If you do not have a polo handicap or would like to have polo lessons
1) Send in a letter or email of request for polo lesson to polo@singaporepoloclub.org and address it to the Polo Captain stating your experience in polo/ riding.
