When units arrived on scene, the fire was coming out the roof of the restaurant.

BRANDENBURG, Ky. — A Kentucky restaurant located on a golf course is a "total loss" after a fire engulfed it early Sunday morning. 

Meade County Fire District was dispatched to a structure fire at The 19th Hole restaurant in Doe Valley around 5 a.m. Officials said when units arrived on scene, the fire was coming out the roof of the restaurant.  

A fire attack was initiated and firefighters started to knock the fire down. 

Officials said despite the restaurant being a "total loss," firefighters were able to save a building adjacent to the restaurant that holds the pro shop for the golf course. 

The cause of the blaze is still unknown at this time, but officials suspect it was an electrical fire.

The restaurant made a post on Facebook that reads:

"I am sad to say the 19th Hole caught on fire this morning. Please pray for our staff. We will come back stronger!"
