History
The original polo field was designed by Will Rogers (1879-1935) on his ranch before he even designed his house in the 1930s. Early players were friends of Rogers, including David Niven (1910–1983), Spencer Tracy (1900–1967), Hal Roach (1892–1992), Walt Disney (1901–1966), Clark Gable (1901–1960), and Robert Montgomery (1904-1981).

In 1953, amateur polo player C.D. LeBlanc started the Will Rogers Polo Club. As such, it became the thirteenth oldest polo club in the United States.

In 2012, then-mayoral candidate (now former Mayor) Eric Garcetti threw the ball for the 59th Annual C.D. LeBlanc Tournament.

Matches
Polo matches are played every weekend from April through September. Significant matches include the Annual Ronald Reagan Tournament, the Celebrity Ranch Cup, the Annual C.D. LeBlanc Memorial Tournament, the Farah Cup Challenge, the Dog Iron Polo Cup, Chukkers for Charity, the Annual Hector Sustaita Memorial Tournament and the Annual Will Rogers Memorial Tournament.

Charity
Philanthropic endeavors supported by the club include Safety Harbor Kids and the Promises Foundation.
