Luckey is a 22-year golf and hospitality industry veteran and has been with Troon, the industry leading club management company, since 2000.

Phase two began in mid-October and involved eliminating and renovating bunkers. The total number of bunkers decreased from 77 to 74, while the total square footage of bunkers was reduced by 40 percent, from approximately 103,000 square feet to approximately 63,000 square feet.
