Welcome

Welcome to Rhone Hill Polo Club, situated on the edge of the Bitou Nature Reserve in South Africa’s glorious Plettenberg Bay.

We purchased the club in January 2021 and since then we have fully upgraded and renovated all of the facilities, including resurfacing the 3 polo fields with tifton grass, creating world class surfaces.

As an amateur polo player for almost 30 years, and a father of 5 children who all play polo, I can assure you that Rhone Hill and the wider Plettenberg Bay Area is a place where all the family can relax and enjoy a holiday whilst perfecting their polo skills.

Those who come to Plettenberg Bay return year after year to enjoy its safe and laid back vibe, its fantastic restaurants, numerous activities, vineyards and its beautiful beaches.

I hope you will enjoy the family atmosphere that we have created at Rhone Hill. It really is one of the most unique places in the world to enjoy polo.
