Losing Indexes on Google! 40,000 pages

    My site http://www.golfcoursehunter.com I launched 5 months ago (I purchased the domain at that time as well), it has 40K pages has been indexed by Google since about the first 2 weeks it was launched. when doing site:<home page url> it grew from 0 to 26,000 in about a month, then slowly down to 11,000 in about another month, then back up to 23,000 then down again to 8,000 then up to 26,000 now it's on it's way down again. Does this mean it's in the "sandbox"? Or am I doing something wrong? I would have assumed that Google would have indexed all my pages as I have seen out sites with 100,00's of pages indexed. Also as a sidenote, MSN has only hit about 15 pages on my site and Yahoo has done about 200. Any ideas/pointers on this is greatly helpful, thanks.
