Cody Franke is a PGA golf instructor at Desert Willow Golf Resort in Palm Desert, a City of Palm Desert-owned public facility with two championship courses — the Firecliff and Mountain View layouts — that plays as one of the best-value public golf experiences in the Coachella Valley and has hosted state and regional amateur events alongside its daily-fee operations. The desert willow landscaping and the natural arroyo terrain that frames both courses give the resort a more naturalistic character than the heavily manicured resort complexes nearby, and the Firecliff Course in particular plays as a demanding championship track that rewards strategic tee shot placement and precise approach play into well-protected greens. Franke's instruction is available to resort guests and the broader Palm Desert golf community at a publicly owned facility committed to making quality golf accessible at a price point that the city's residents and visitors can actually afford.
