Accordia Golf Trust temporarily shutters Hiroshima, Fukuoka golf courses after Japan floods

SINGAPORE (July 13): The trustee-manager of Accordia Golf Trust says three of its golf courses in Western Japan – Hongo Country Club, Takehara Country Club and Fukuoka Pheasant Country Club – are currently closed because of public road closures against possible landslides and repair works.

Although several of the trust’s other golf courses were reported to have also suffered damage, there was no impact, it adds.  

The update comes after the nation was hit by days of torrential rainfall in its southwestern and western areas since last Friday, leading to one of Japan’s worst flooding disasters in decades.
