The International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) is the premier destination for high-goal polo in the United States. Home to the most prestigious 20- and 26-goal polo tournaments in the nation, IPC has hosted the U.S. Open Polo Championship® for over 10 years. Located in the heart of the horse centric village of Wellington, Florida, polo enthusiasts flock to the club every winter to witness top level polo competition that garners some of the world’s best players, including Adolfo Cambiaso, Facundo Pieres and America’s top-rated players Julio Arellano, Jeff Hall and Nic Roldan. Established by John B. Goodman in 2002, the club was recently purchased in May 2016 by Wellington Equestrian Partners, South Florida's leaders in equine commerce under the direction of Mark and Katherine Bellissimo. 2018 high-goal tournament dates have been announced and are subject to change due to weather and team scheduling.
