It was established in 1909 during the American colonial era by Governor General William Cameron Forbes as a venue for polo and leisure for the wealthy elite. It was originally located in Between F.B.

Cuyegkeng Street (Hacienda de May tubig), Brgy. 1 and Brgy. 2, Zone 1 of Pasay City prior to World War II, after which it transferred to its present location in Forbes Park, Makati.
