SHORT ANSWER: Opening day tailgating was awesome, again, huge thank you to everyone. The competition was very good considering we are just getting started. I would not suggest just showing up, go online and see what is happening and what is available to watch. LOCATION: Everything was perfect, what a location! FACILITY: First class operations from a spectators perceptive. FOOD: We brought our own, BBQ'd some dogs but the Cantina was open I believe. There are options at different times of the year depending on size of event taking place, just check the Eldorado website. LIBATIONS: Well, no comment but I believe a few people were enjoying a beverage. STAFF: Very accommodating. From security to event staff all were great. OVERALL VALUE: Excellent fun with a little effort. For sure you can purchase tickets and see other seating options online. TIP: We try and bring people out who have little to no exposure to Polo and were unaware just how much fun this is and it is in our own backyard. read more

A for Food! Yummo salt roasted golden beets and salmon, and chilaquiles stacked high with med-hi spice level. B Amazed for AAAA+ for View, outdoor setting, simply the most amazing backdrop of San Jacinto mountain range while sipping and dipping. C the Cantina, non stuffy and low ley for a Polo Club, parking right outside. Salmon +$7 (about 6oz) was tad bit slightly over requested medium yet tasty. Beets $13 could use some arugula to temper the sweeter champagne honey vinaigrette and add color plus there is a ton of goat cheese that needs help to down but overall quite satisfying. Chilaquiles was A+, nice heat, plenty carnitas (or chix) perfect sunny up eggs and stacks of corn tortillas. Coffee is Farmhouse? or so server thought, its ok. Gorgeous grounds well worth a trip without polo as the food is very good and you just cannot beat the mountain backdrop in outdoor patio setting. Thanks Cantina @EPC for a lovely beginning to Sunday AM stop to Phoenix. read more

We would look forward to a polo game each season for tailgating and a few years ago this stopped, I believe there was a change in ownership. Recently I found out they had Sunday polo open to the public. Previously you would show up early to get a good spot and I want to say you paid $10-20 per car to get in. Now for tailgating you reserve your spot, which is nice because you don't need to get there early, gates open at 11AM. The downside is to reserve a tailgating spot it's $80 for the end of the field and $180 for the middle part of the field. I did go ahead and reserve the middle of the field. There was some sort of special event though in the tailgating section and there was a bounce house behind the middle tent. I'm glad we were about 5 spaces away because to pay $180 and to hear a generator going was not cool. Additionally, they have done away with the champagne divot stomp.... Why? That was such a cool tradition. And, they have removed the permanent structure bathrooms on the tailgate side so you can only use a porta potty. They offer food to order, and even though it's very over priced ($150 for a charcuterie board), they messed up our order, didn't confirm it until less than two hours before we would arrive, so we had to figure out food to bring instead. I tried to confirm the order via phone a few days before the game, called the office five times, left a message, but did not receive a call back. You knew other people were calling also because the voice mail did fill up and you couldn't leave a message anymore. Given all of the negative changes, I don't think I'll be back . read more

Full audience for lunch as well as picnicking on the sidelines each game day. After Empire Polo closed many people came over to El Dorado Polo so the ambience is top! Great fun and wonderful people to meet. Highly recommend going :) read more

This event is not open to the public. They will not let you in. Do not waste your time. I attempted to go on 2-20-2022.

Oh this had to be the worst experience I've ever had at a polo tournament. I've been coming to El Dorado polo for 20 years and today we went for the first time this season. Terrible the parking sucked there was a woman that wouldn't let us park and put cones right in front of our car in the parking lot was totally empty. They need to fire their staff and start over terrible. Do not go to Polo. read more

FUN FUN FUN... we brought a picnic and watched one match (lasted about an hour). Got there one hour early to scope a spot on the grass. Bring SHADE!! Most people have easy-ups. Portable bathrooms were very nice - a trailer with sinks. Great fun for $10 a car load. read more

Polo season at EDPC is from November to April. Spectators are allowed to tail gate and watch the matches. Great place to spend a few hours relaxing and watching the action. Good looking women bouncing around on horses for the men and men in tight pants for the women. After the games head over to the Tack Room for a drink. read more

Time to time I come out. To Eldorado Polo Club Every time I come out there, I understand why. People with true class don't go there. They go to other Polo clubs. . Where do you train your staff? At the baseball park maybe at roller derby. Because your culinary staff at El Dorado and at the Cantina. Reminds will go back. To Taco Bell or other fine restaurants like that. Not at a Polo Club. Train your managers properly. That's all I'm asking. Be there the Polo Club does not mean you have class. There's no class. And Eldorado I sit on theirs. I'm going back to Empire Polo Grounds. read more

This is probably one of the largest polo communities in Southern California. There is actually another polo club right next door called Empire. The fields are beautiful and well taken care of. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains and palm trees are everywhere! I would give this 5 stars if it wasn't for the restaurant called "The Cantina".It is located on the side line of a field so you are able to enjoy games while you are there. Some friends and I arrived about 11am and the menu was all breakfast foods until 3pm!! Who wants breakfast all day??! When we got our food it was very bland and not hot totally not worth $12.00 a plate!! Then it was our waiter...SO RUDE! Once the game started he approached my table and told us we had to "GET UP because there were other people waiting outside!! " He continued to say "I need your table and chairs." I was so angry I just laughed in his face. It gets worse!! The waiter returns with some random people expecting us to give up our table! Mind you we did buy their food and drinks and did not cause any problems to deserve getting kicked out. I will never spend a penny at this place ever again! read more

What a fun way to pass a Sunday afternoon. The announcer is great and explains the rules so you'll definitely have a good time following the match. read more

Love coming here when we visit. Always bring the family and friends for the polo matches. Wouldn't recommend the sit down service, the food has always been a let down for my family. I've enjoyed the tailgating and bbqs! read more

Went again, this morning. The cantina breakfast was good but not great, the service good, and the experience still first class. You sit out on the patio ( if you want ) and there is nothing between you and the polo ponies but your coffee and your food! Brought the dog, as always, and they brought a shiny clean water bowl to the table just for him. Still free entrance to the grounds. Unless you want to eat you can leave your $$ at home. We had a great time. Temperature 83 degrees, wind calm. The dog took a dip in the pond just beyond the big tent and clubhouse on the other side of the field from the cantina. Go and enjoy! read more

February 10, 2014 Several people got violently ill after eating different foods prepared at the Eldorado Polo Club "Club House". Symptoms included acute stomach pains and severe diarreha for up to 10 hours later. Over 400 people were seated for meal service. Poor quality of food handling and preparation ! read more

Went there for the Desert Trip Festival. Great location for the festival and structure provided.

Best Polo in the Desert. Comfortable family environment. Pleasant for family outing or picnic and viewing. No snobbyness. This is a true player's club. Everything is about polo. No commercialization like Empire Polo Club. No business goal at Eldorado. That means costs are kept low and all revenue is being returned into the sport in form of field maintenace etc. See for yourself. You will enjoy it. read more
