That would depend on which minerals cemented the sand grains together. Some sandstones are cemented together with the mineral calcite, others are not.
No. Calcium carbonate is calcite; the primary component of limestone. The dominant minerals of most sand is quartz, silicon dioxide.
No it is a clastic sedimentary rock.

Yes. Imagine sand stone. It is composed of sand. Sand is ground rocks. Pressure and time create sand stone.
Sand is not any particular mineral, it is a grain size. Different sands can include quartz, feldspar, calcite and a variety of other minerals.
No! A stone is a loose impediment. A sand trap is a hazzard. You cannot remove a stone from a hazzard if the stone and ball are in the same hazzard. Penalty...one stroke.
Clay minerals, calcite, and silica.

Simply put, Quartz is harder.
Sandstone And Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed of calcite or calcium carbonate deposits from ancient sea life. Sandstone is a metamorphic rock formed from sand which has been solidified by some geologic process. Quartzite, for example, is a type sandstone formed from solidified grains of quartz sand.

no
Sand, usually quartz sand, with the grains cemented together by some other mineral, such as calcite, gypsum, haematite, or clay.
Use calcium carbonate or calcite based sand; usually called 'aragonite' sand. Do not use play sand (ie, silica sand) or normal sand, it will cause massive diatom blooms.
