"It's about three and a half feet wide and about 20 feet deep," Course Superintendent Cody Pollard said.
Pollard says on Saturday, a sinkhole opened under a pond that surrounds the first hole on the course, swallowing most of the pond water.
"My brother called me and said, 'you should look at this'. The pond has literally sunk and there is no water left in it," Pollard explained.
"I came out here and looked at it and there was a geyser throwing water about 15 feet up," Pollard said.
The sinkhole is not affecting the actual course, so golfers can continue to play.
"Everyone thinks it's the highlight of the golf course and now it's gone within a matter of minutes," Pollard said.
Nobody was hurt as a result of the sinkhole.

Sinkholes have been forming slowly in the dirt road on which I live. But herein is the fascination, my dog Blue Bells puts her nose to the ,as of yet, circular indentations, and alerts her ears in response. It is quite interesting to watch. I live upon the Karst topography of the Ozark plateau known for its many caves and underground rivers.So my deduction is that she is responding to the sound of the rushing waters beneath.
