What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 19, 2019. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on September 30, 2016. For example: Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on October 8, 2015. For example: 8 - Are equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils washed, sanitized and stored in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 2 times on October 8, 2015. For example: 17 - Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on October 8, 2015. For example: 12 - Is the contact information the same?

    Fun and challenging golf course. Dog legs and targets. Great views. The greens are on point! Rolling straight and fast. The RV situation is very basic... It is just the parking lot. But they were hospitable. I expect most of the bad reviews are because people were expecting an RV park and found a golf course parking lot. Which I didn't mind because I wasn't in Nelson because of where I was going to camp and I enjoyed the crickets and big sky for stargazing at night.

    I love Granite! My home away from home... We're lucky to have a course like this here in our own backyard. Always well maintained and the greens are in excellent shape. It's a fair challenge and it really makes you think. Definitely not driver and an iron every hole. If you're playing smart, you'll probably be using every club in the bag. The views are amazing and the patio has to be one of the best in town!

    BEAUTIFUL course, breathtaking views, professional very accommodating and courteous staff!

  • Michelle Renee Usher

    Very poorly maintained, poor signage, golf cart duct taped together. Avoid this course

  • Alex Plourde

    Could be a lot better than it is. Fairways were pretty good. Some rough spots throughout but all in all not that bad of a course for some of the reviews. I will say, it’s a bit odd that they either let people or they just go on the course walking there dogs in the bush line or just right on the fairway on hole 6. This happened throughout our play from hole 1-9 not something you enjoy seeing dogs relieving them selves with people walking on the grounds where your trying to hit.
