The luxury golf club in Westchester County, New York — one of several courses owned by Donald Trump — faced five health code violations during its most recent inspection, according to a publicly available report from local health authorities.
Among the problems noted by inspectors were rodents and insects present in the establishment, along with drainage problems, improperly stored food and issues relating to lighting and ventilation.
While isolated violations can occur at any restaurant or food establishment, inspection records show the “rodents and insects present” citation has appeared at the club multiple times, dating back to 2016.
The findings come about a year after another property, the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, came under scrutiny after a health inspection resulted in a failing score.
According to reports at the time, the Somerset County Department of Health gave the Bedminster club a score of 32 out of 100, citing numerous violations and labeling the situation an “unacceptable health risk.” The score was reportedly the lowest among the province’s 115 grocery stores during that inspection period.
Details from that report, cited by Forbes, say the person in charge of food and beverage service “failed to demonstrate knowledge of food safety.” Inspectors also found that the facility did not meet requirements regarding the protection of food from contamination.
Additional violations included expired milk, improperly stored raw meat and a dishwasher that did not reach the required sanitary temperature. Inspectors recorded a total of 18 violations at the facility, nine of which were classified as critical.
The report also noted the presence of a household microwave in the kitchen – equipment inspectors have ordered its removal because retail food establishments are required to use commercial appliances.
Despite the violations, both clubs remain part of a portfolio of high-quality golf properties that are frequently visited by members and guests.
