Default Belvedere sinkhole?

Drove thru the area this AM on my way back from Doggie-do-run.
The Ashland retention pond adjacent to Ashland pool which had the initial reported sinkhole, did indeed fill back up with the rains. But today it was nearly empty again! The dirt ring around the original hole seemed to be keeping it from being completely empty.
In addition, on the north side of Belvedere blvd (?), near Pimlico Rec Center, and on what I believe is Pimlico executive course, there are two roped off holes in the course and a large pond on the golf course visible from the street is now empty. I am not talking about holes where one tries to putt their golf ball, but rather what appeared to be moderate sized sinkholes.
I viewed this from my car, and was unable to determine if any homes were involved, even though I drove thru adjacent neighborhoods.
Have seen no other details on this.
