A partial landholder of the Moriokaminami Golf Club’s course in Iwate Prefecture has issued a notice cancelling the lease of their portion of the land and erected a “No Trespassers” sign on the 2nd hole. The owner is a real estate company called SET Support.

The Moriokaminami Golf Club recently entered civil rehabilitation procedures, and the majority of the club members gave approval for corporate restructuring in October 2011. SET Support claim they were not informed of the club meeting last year, despite purchasing part of the course one year prior.

A representative from SET said they will consider removing the signs after discussions with the club. The club said that they are making arrangements to meet with the landholder. The course will remain open in the meantime, but golfers will have to bypass the 2nd hole as it will be closed until further notice.
