The Pandy area at Ganton was restored before M&E got there. Important to note that it was in an area that had been naturally occurring, worked in to (and sheltered) by the diagonal ridge on the 18th hole carry, hence very three dimensional. Quite feasible that wind would have worked in that fashion to create Pandy.
I understand Ganton are now adding open sand elsewhere. I’ll wait to see if that works as well as Pandy.
