Coto North Course Hole Number 1

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!
