Jeff, there are several greens at Macan's Columbia-Edgewater CC in Portland that have very subtle fall away slopes at the back and back corners.  I would love to know how much those greens were changed during "renovations" over the years by Bob Cupp and others.  CECC has a wonderful set of varied greens, no two really alike.

Columbia-Edgewater has long had the reputation of having the most single digit handicaps of any club in the Pacific NW if not the country.  And a wonderful short game practice area.  Most walk, the club provides free push carts, and pin sheets every day.   It truly is a player's club.

Bump after searching out Bill's comments on other threads.

Just had an email from the pro at Columbia-Edgewater who tells me that all the greens are the original Macans except for 3, 4, 9 and 17, and none slope from front to back.   The new greens, mostly by Bob Cupp I think, are either flat or slope back to front.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Compare 1936 aerials with 2017 pictures.
