Sean the post asks why the front to back slope dominates , doesn’t it ?


Many older courses here in the States have holes that abut property lines , typically behind the green. So a containment theory , while not a complete answer , should be considered without your flippant dismissal of this as a factor.

At the end of an otherwise undistinguished short Par 5 on our course is an extremely deceptive green. From the fairway, near the green, and when putting, you swear that it is back to front when in fact the green runs away front to back. It fools everyone.


Any other examples of such deception?

On the first hole of the third nine at Montclair, the hole descends straight down a steep hill. The green is benched into the hill, and, due to the severe contrast between the grade of the fairway and the grade of the green, it appears that the green runs back to front. In reality, only the very back portion of the green rolls back to front, with the rest rolling front to back. It took me about six or seven plays to finally understand the break of the green.
