Two golf courses at a Dalian Wanda Group Co. resort in northeastern China were shut down by the municipal government there, in the latest setback for billionaire Wang Jianlin’s conglomerate.

The Fusong County government ordered Wanda’s Changbaishan International Resort to stop golf course operations on Sept. 9, according to a notice on its website dated Oct. 13, without elaborating. Wanda declined to comment.
