Debra Franchio teaches at The Club at Morningside in Rancho Mirage, one of the Coachella Valley's most exclusive private clubs — a Jack Nicklaus design within a luxury residential community that draws a membership of accomplished players who approach the game at a serious level and expect the instruction program to match the overall quality standard that Morningside maintains across every dimension of the club experience. The Nicklaus design at Morningside plays with the strategic demands and architectural quality that characterize his best private club work, and the desert location means members play year-round in conditions that reward the short game skills and distance control that Franchio emphasizes in her instruction. Her position as a female PGA instructor at a club of this caliber reflects both her expertise and the growing representation of women teaching professionals at the highest levels of private club golf.
