Another Trump golf club slapped with 'critical' health violation: report

Yet another one of Trump's golf clubs has been hit with health code violations, according to reporting by NOTUS.The culprit this time is the Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley in Hopewell Junction, New York. The club was flagged for a critical violation at its restaurant by a Dutchess County health inspector in April, according to NOTUS, which looked at state records.Earlier this year, NOTUS reported similar critical violations found at the Trump National Golf Club Westchester. The reporting came after NOTUS obtained records from last November that revealed Westchester County health inspectors found insects, rodents and dirty surfaces. The latest critical violation at a Trump golf course comes from food from [an] unapproved source, spoiled, adulterated on premises, NOTUS reported. Health inspectors also called out a non-critical violation because of improperly stored food dispensing utensils that were in use, according to NOTUS. NOTUS noted that Trump's Hudson Valley golf course touted its delicious cuisine on its website, adding that it was prepared by the Club's culinary staff led by a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.The Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago also violated city health codes, according to NOTUS. Last December, Chicago health inspectors reported flies, faulty dishwashers and wastewater flooding around three prep sinks in the main kitchen. In May 2025, health inspectors found 18 health code violations at Trump's golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. According to NOTUS, the manager of that New Jersey club said the citations were politically motivated.
