Played the Sandbox in summer 2018. Very enjoyable and is a good substitute for a 2nd 18-hole round on one of the other courses. Of the three such courses I've played, Sandbox, Bandon Preserve, and the Cradle, I would say that Bandon Preserve is the best golf of the three and felt more like a smaller version of the big courses on site. The Cradle is something entirely different. The diversity of the people playing is amazing; couples, families, groups of 6 or more, males & females, grandparents, parents, and children, singles, etc. The energy and atmosphere is so welcoming and fun. I have not seen anything like it. The Cradle has to be the best addition to a resort/club that I have experienced. It has the advantage of community involvement that Bandon Preserve and the Sandbox do not. The Sandbox is more like Bandon Preserve in this regard as it is a milder, sportier version of the other courses.
