A recent health inspection at Trump National Golf Club Westchester turned up several violations, including the presence of rodents and insects in the facility.
The upscale golf club in Westchester County, New York — one of several courses owned by Donald Trump — received five health code violations during its most recent inspection, according to a publicly available report from local health authorities.
Among the issues noted by inspectors were rodents and insects present in the establishment, along with plumbing problems, improperly stored food, and concerns related to lighting and ventilation.
While isolated violations can occur at any restaurant or food service facility, inspection records indicate that the “rodents and insects present” citation has appeared at the club multiple times dating back to 2016.
The findings come roughly a year after another property, Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, drew scrutiny following a health inspection that resulted in a failing score.
According to reports at the time, the Somerset County Department of Health gave the Bedminster club a 32 out of 100, citing numerous violations and labeling the situation an “unacceptable health risk.” The score was reportedly the lowest among the county’s 115 retail food establishments during that inspection period.
Details from that report, cited by Forbes, said the person in charge of food and beverage service “failed to demonstrate knowledge of food safety.” Inspectors also found the establishment out of compliance with requirements related to protecting food from contamination.
Additional violations included expired milk, improperly stored raw meat, and a dishwasher that failed to reach the required sanitation temperature. Inspectors recorded 18 total violations at the facility, nine of which were categorized as critical.
The report also noted the presence of a household microwave in the kitchen — equipment inspectors ordered removed because retail food establishments are required to use commercial-grade appliances.
Despite the violations, both clubs remain part of a portfolio of high-end golf properties frequently visited by members and guests.
