The greens reminded me of the greens at our local Muni.  The course was there when I was a kid and very much of a product of a simpler time in golf (dark ages to some).  They play much as you describe:  crowned, tilted back to front, small, and you’re completely dead if you go long.  Play to the front, hope you roll up and on and not off the sides or rear.

Reminds me a bit of my dad's home course, the Newnan (Georgia) Country Club. Nine holes, no irrigation, small domed greens so firm it was like hitting an iron and trying to stop the ball on a VW Beetle.  The hood!   It's been NLE for 40 years, plowed under for a soulless modern. Actually it's pretty okay but it ain't the old nine holes.
