The Gulfstream Polo Club was a polo club in Lake Worth, Florida. Since 1923, Gulfstream Polo Club was one of the most prominent polo clubs in North America, particularly during the Florida season (December–April). Gulfstream was managed by Marla Connor for 18 years until it closed in May 2016 at the end of the polo season. Throughout its long history it offered a wide array of tournaments, with 4, 6, and 10 Goal Leagues as well as Ladies Tournaments.

History

It was started by the Phipps family North of Delray Beach, Florida in 1923, making it the oldest polo club in Florida. It became affiliated with the United States Polo Association in 1935.

In 1941, John H. H. Phipps, Michael Grace Phipps (1910–1973), Charles Skiddy von Stade and Alan L.

However, during the Second World War, the club was closed and the stables were used by US troops in case of an invasion.
