TV coverage of the Masters has spent significant time discussing the difficulty of #10 as a starting hole.  Which 10th holes would you least like to face as a starting hole, whether in degree of difficulty or as an opportunity you'd like to seize with nine holes under your belt?  Examples that come to mind include Riviera (opportunity), PB (challenge), Westchester CC - tournament configuration (opportunity), Winged Foot West (challenge), Pasatiempo (challenge), etc.  My mother would look with mock scorn at my father, brother and me as we purchased liquid courage before facing the tee shot on #10 Pasatiempo, even if we had started at 7:30.

For me it would be any par-3.

Yeah, a Par 3 opener is a toughie for your first shot of the day.
