Insects and rodents hit health inspectors at Trump National Golf Club
One of President Donald Trump’s posh properties is dealing with a bit of a pest problem.
Trump National Golf Club Westchester in New York was cited for five health code violations during a November 2025 visit by the Westchester County Health Department.
According to public data reviewed by the nonprofit news outlet NOTUS, inspectors found rodents, insects and general disrepair when they passed through the 75,000-square-foot luxury property.

In addition to vermin, the golf club was found to have dirty surfaces, “poorly constructed” rooms, inadequate lighting and inadequate ventilation, although none of the problems were considered “critical” health code violations.
In the kitchen, inspectors found food that was improperly stored, mislabeled, or vulnerable to potential sources of contamination when uncovered or on the floor.

Trump National Golf Club Westchester did not respond to News themezone’s questions about health inspectors’ assessment, but when the president’s private club in Bedminster, New Jersey, faced similar problems last May, the property’s general manager accused the health department of being politically motivated.
“We have never before witnessed such visceral hostility from the health department,” David Schutzenhofer said in an interview with Garden State outlet NJBIZ last June.
Trump, an avid golfer, purchased the foreclosed property in Briarcliff Manor, New York, for $7.5 million in 1996.
He maintained the property as he had purchased it until 1999, when operations stopped to rebuild the clubhouse and course, which reopened in 2002.
