The unwanted guests were discovered during a visit from the Westchester County health department last November.
One of President Donald Trump’s posh properties is dealing with a bit of a pest problem.
The Trump National Golf Club Westchester in New York was cited for five health code violations during a November 2025 visit from the Westchester County Department of Health.
According to public data reviewed by nonprofit news outlet NOTUS, inspectors found rodents, insects and general disrepair when they dropped by 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 improper ventilation, though none of the issues were deemed “critical” violations of the health code.
In the kitchen, inspectors found food items that were improperly stored, mislabeled or vulnerable to potential sources of contamination from being uncovered or on the ground.
Trump National Golf Club Westchester did not reply to HuffPost’s inquiries about the 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 having political motivations.
“Never before have we 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 estate in Briarcliff Manor, New York, for $7.5 million in 1996.
He kept the property as he had bought it until 1999, when operations were paused to rebuild the clubhouse and course, which reopened in 2002.
