I played on a Friday in early November with the weather being close to 80 degrees. The course was pretty busy but it wasn't slow moving out there and the course itself was in pretty good condition. It was a little expensive but that is for all OC courses. Good time

This is a good course for the buck. The course layout annoys me because the holes are all bunched together but they always keep the greens in tip top condition.

First of all I want to state that I play this course regularly. This review is just for this one time I played at Great Hope even though the following gentleman's attitude is usually poor every time I come .
So I came in to play as a single and hoping to hop on with someone else. I came into the pro shop and Dave (I believe that's his name) checked me in. I asked him if there was anyone I could join up with. He stated "I dunno, im here to check you in not to find someone for you to play with". in a very rude manner. Previously though I came in and checked in with a young guy named Mark and he was very nice and accommodating and at least tried to find someone for me to play with. So I get the key from Dave and go to the putting green and putt for a little while until a twosome comes up and lets me join them. (Hmmm you think Dave could have told me a twosome was just behind me). The course was in good condition besides a few spots here and there and the pace was phenomenal. After 9 holes we come in and get some food from the kitchen and are served by a nice and friendly woman.(For anyone who doesn't know the food here is amazing). We finished 18 holes and I decide to come in a get a drink and check to see if there was an opening to play next week. I see Dave sitting on the couch dead ASLEEP. Are you kidding me!!! I just said screw it and walked out because I didn't feel like dealing with waking that guy up and having to listen to his grumblings.
Now this happened a little over a month ago and I was going to let it go but I came in again last week and of course its Dave checking me in. So I paid and asked him some questions about the cart rules and how much play was out there. It seemed like he didn't want to be bothered with any questions and just kinda answered my questions quickly to get me out the door. To me golf is a customer service industry as much as it is about the golf course and it seems like this guy wants nothing to do with the customers at all. He just wants to check you in and get you out of his face. I cant say I wont be back because I know I will but I can say that I hope I never have to deal with this man again!
