Inspectors have visited Wentworth Golf Club eight times, with records going back to 2022. Wentworth Golf Club was last inspected on Feb 24, 2026. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around eight violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.
The pattern that stands out is “in-use tongs stored on equipment door handle between uses”, which has been cited three times.
Compared to other Tarpon Springs restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
