Coto de Caza 2010 Summer Concert - Featuring Chicago
Following in the tradition of many summers past and many great bands like Hootie and the Blow Fish, Styx, Pat Benatar, The Go Gos, The B-52's, Journey, and the Beach Boys, tonight the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club will welcome Chicago to perform on Center Court. Literally. There's a stage a huge stage set up on the Center Court of the Tennis facility. About 1500 tickets went up for sale back in June during a lottery open to Club members. Some folks hoping to soak in the sounds without paying the price for a ticket, have set up their blankets and beach chairs outside the tennis court on the grassy knoll. Heck - it's an outdoor concert, right? Air it free, right? Well, the Club management…Bank Owned in Mission Viejo - Will Be Listed Soon

Coto North Course Hole Number 2
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 at 7:08pm. 374 Views, 2 Comments.
Number 2 North is a scoring opportunity. At only 323 yards from the Blue and 349 yards from the Gold, distance is no problem. Two relatively simple shots will give you a chance at birdie or an easy par, but as with most holes at Coto, a mistake can lead to real trouble very quickly.

From the Blue Tees, the fairway is just a long iron or fairway wood away. The perfect shot is about 190 yards over the mound to the right of the large tree, straight at the green. Feel like going for the gusto? A driver will put you inside 100 yards – as long as you can hit a 15 yard-wide target.
Right is bunker, steep hillside, and OB. Slicers beware - your ball may end up in the living room of a large custom home…
Coto North Course Hole Number 1
Friday, August 6th, 2010 at 1:07pm. 438 Views, 2 Comments.
Ok, let's just say it: Coto North #1 is tough. Very tough. It's not the hardest hole in the world, or the country, or maybe even in Orange County, but this golf hole is no slouch. A 601 yard par-5, it's rated number 1 in difficulty on the North, so it's one of the two hardest holes on a course that sports a rating of 75.5 and a slope of 147 from the back tees. I'm a mid-handicaper, ranging over the years from about a 10 to a 16 index. For the first year after I joined the club, I never made less than a 7 on this hole, and after 10 years of play I'm still more likely to make a 7 than a 5.
What makes it so hard? Lets start with the view from the tee!
