Georgia Country Club Fails Health Inspection

A private country club in Stockbridge that hosts weddings and events failed a recent health inspection with a score of 62.

What’s Happening: Eagle’s Landing Country Club received a failing score of 62 on November 19 during a routine inspection by Henry County health officials. The 27-hole golf course and event venue located at 100 Eagle’s Landing Way had multiple health violations.

What’s Important: In Georgia, any restaurant or food service operation that scores below 70 receives a failing grade and must correct violations immediately. The inspection found problems with food storage, temperature control, and cleanliness throughout the kitchen.

Between the Lines: The health inspector found cold foods stored above safe temperatures, raw meats mixed with cooked foods, and employees backdating food labels. Health officials required the manager to throw away food that wasn’t kept at proper temperatures during the inspection.

• The club’s reach-in cooler has failed to maintain safe temperatures during multiple past inspections. Health officials recommended replacing it immediately.
• Inspectors found no hand soap at a kitchen sink and discovered utensils stored in containers with food debris.

The Big Picture: Eagle’s Landing Country Club markets itself as an upscale venue for weddings, corporate events, and family gatherings. The club features a 51,000-square-foot Georgian-style clubhouse and offers full catering services with American, French, Italian, and Southern cuisine. The facility can accommodate up to 500 guests for events.
