Rodents Shut Down Tee Room

Rodent droppings found by county health inspectors caused the Newport Beach Golf Course's Tee Room to close temporarily earlier this month.

Newport Beach's Tee Room was closed earlier this month by county health officials after inspectors found rodent droppings in several areas of the facility.

During a routine inspection on April 23, the Tee Room was cited with one major health violation for rodent infestation, and six minor health violations. According to the health report, inspectors found rodent droppings on the floor in the snack shop, behind cabinets, in a storage room and "on top of food cans, packages and bags in the dry food storage room."

The Tee Room was later allowed to reopen.
