False Front

A green design feature where the front portion slopes severely toward the front edge, creating the illusion of more available landing area than actually exists, requiring precise distance control to access pin positions. False fronts penalize approach shots that come up slightly short, making club selection and commitment crucial for successful execution. Understanding false front characteristics helps golfers make better target selections and avoid short-sided positions. These design features add strategy and challenge to approach shots while testing golfers' course management skills. False fronts often make greens appear larger and more accessible than they actually are.
