Can we lay sod directly on top of gravel? Will it take up root?

We have a large yard space that is hard ground covered in gravel. We want to lay sod, Wonder if we can lay the sod directly on top of gravel? I don't think it will take root that way...

Would it be easier to add sand on top of the gravel? You can easily throw sod on top of sand, it grows very well, that's how they do it on golf courses!
You'll have to remove the gravel, if you've seen driveways that are gravel, they have sparse weeds growing through, they just can't take root, same with sod.
