‘Insects, Rodents’: Trump’s New York Golf Club Hit With Health Code Violations

Records show officials issued five health code violations against Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, New York, last November.

President Donald Trump’s Westchester, New York, golf club had some unwelcome guests last autumn, according to local health records.

Westchester County Department of Health officials reported observing insects and rodents during a November 20, 2025, inspection of the Trump National Golf Club Westchester, one of five health code violations issued after the visit.

Health officials also found “dirty surfaces,” “poorly constructed” rooms “in disrepair” and “inadequate” lighting and ventilation, according to previously unreported state health data reviewed by NOTUS.

Food was “uncovered, mislabeled, [and] stored on floor.” There were also “missing or inadequate sneeze guards” and “double stacked” food containers.

Inspectors deemed none of the violations “critical.”

Neither the Trump National Golf Club Westchester nor the Trump Organization, which owns and operates the club, responded to requests for comment.

The New York Department of Health directed NOTUS to the Westchester County Health Department, which did not immediately respond to questions, including whether the property had since been re-inspected and whether the Trump facility adequately addressed the concerns.

The Westchester club wasn’t the only Trump property to receive health code violations in 2025. Last May, New Jersey health officials flagged 18 health code violations at Trump’s Bedminster golf course. Nine of those violations were deemed critical.

Health officials gave the club a score of 32 out of 100, the lowest grade in Somerset County. Hours after Forbes first reported about the inspection, however, an inspector went to the Bedminster club for a reinspection and issued a new score of 86, the lowest possible “B” grade.

At the time, David Schutzenhofer, general manager of Trump National Bedminster, told NJBIZ that the grade was “clearly nothing more than a politically motivated attack.”

“Never before have we witnessed such visceral hostility from the health department,” Schutzenhofer said.
