Meaning of ゴルフ場を国の土地にした


Regarding an American missile system in Korea:

> 韓国の国防省は２月２８日、ＴＨＡＡＤを置くために韓国の南にあるゴルフ場を **国の土地にした** と発表しました。  
>  On the 28th of February South Korea's defence department announced that
> they had made a golf course, located in the south of the country, into ???
> in order to install THAAD.

I'm not sure I understand ゴルフ場を国の土地にした, particularly the 国の土地 part. Literally
I think this means "made the golf course into the country's land". Does this
mean that the golf course is now owned by the government, or have I
misunderstood?




Yes, this 国の土地 means 国が所有する土地, or 国有地.

You have read the sentence correctly.
