I have seen greens with trees right in front, which sort of mandate the ground game approach, but which aren't popular at all.
As mentioned, firm greens (and approaches) and perhaps reverse slope greens which make holding a high shot harder. However, I have built these only to see better players just put more spin on the ball. For that matter, think Shinney No. 7 and the pros playing a classic Redan with a high cut to hold it, rather than a low draw. Sometimes, I think we need to just accept the fact that good players aren't going to use the ground game unless coming out from under trees or avoiding that tree front green.
I agree with Jason that accommodating it, since it is used/required/helpful for the 90% of golfers who are less strong, is the way to go. He mentions not worrying about upslope, but I have seen some seniors gripe that their ball was heading to the green and stopped by about a 10% slope. Probably need to keep them as low as possible to really make the ground game possible. Also, saw those Dick Wilson greens at La Costa, with most having 10-17% ramps up to the green....frontal bunker or not, those were aerial greens.
