A large sinkhole was discovered at Glenview Championship Golf Course.
Villagers who live near the Glenview Championship Golf Course woke up Friday morning to find a very large, deep sinkhole in their backyard.
Golf course personnel closed six holes and roped off an area behind homes in the 3300 block of Richmond Drive in the Village of Belle Aire. There is said to be a second sinkhole in a nearby retention pond.
Sam Wartinbee of District Property Management on Friday said drought followed by sudden, heavy rain make conditions ripe for sinkholes to occur.

A 21-strong rescue team arrived at the scene and dug an underground passage to try and get to the father and son
A father and son have been burned alive after being sucked into a flaming sink hole that has been blazing for more than 100 years in India.
Teenager Rahim Khan was sweeping an area in front of his shop in the town of Jharia, in the country's north eastern Jharkhand province when he was sucked into a crater which opened up in the road.
His desperate father, Bablu Khan, 40, saw him slip into the hole before he too was killed after being buried under debris as he tried to save the 14-year-old.
Pictures show smoke coming from the burning sink hole which was caused by fires that have raged underground in the area for decades.
A sinkhole opened in Newberry along Newberry Road just west of Northwest 266th Street, worsened by a burst water line.
Alachua County sheriff's deputies responded and were guiding morning commuters slowly through the area.
Newberry City Manager Mike New said the 3 inches of rain the city got Tuesday could have washed out soil supporting a waterline that subsequently sagged and ruptured, washing out even more soil and deepening the hole.
When deputies were called about 6:20 a.m. Wednesday, the sinkhole was about 30 feet wide and 30 feet deep near the roadway. Eventually, a portion of the road collapsed after the soil supporting it caved in.

A car fell into a sinkhole that formed Tuesday morning on Olde Highway 80 in the El Cajon area.
Just after 4 a.m., crews responded to a water main break that caused a sinkhole on the roadway at Pecan Park Lane.
Crews arrived to find an Uber vehicle had partially fallen into the hole, but the driver and his passenger climbed out of a window as water began pouring into the car.
Tasha Mills said she got the scary early morning call from her husband, who was working his second job driving overnight for Uber.
"I was sleeping and I got a phone call. It scared us pretty bad, so we rushed out here," she told 10News.
A man drove his car directly into a sinkhole caused by a broken water main early Friday.
Since it had rained overnight, the driver said he saw water on a road in Denver and thought it was just a puddle. The car ended up head-first in a six-foot-deep sinkhole.
The driver, who works for Uber, did not have any passengers with him at the time. He was able to get out of the car on the passenger side.
A tow truck pulled the car out and hauled it away.
Utility crews said the sinkhole was caused by a rupture in a 12-inch water main. A dozen nearby homes lost water due to the rupture and crews were working to replace the broken section of pipe.
