fast


Explanation:
Not a big golf fan but I do know that greens are described as fast or slow and they are specifically talking about the green (putting area) not the whole golf course

Example sentence(s):
  • On very fast greens or downhill putts the major problem you face is striking the ball too well and going way past the hole
  • Golf Articles: Slow and Fast Greens

Tried to copy it but said copyrighted but it's the word they use to trasnslate movido.

undulated


Explanation:
Not fast (that would be "rápidos") nor busy.
This is the usual term for slopey greens.
You could also say "slopey greens".

Aclaración sobre el término "movidos":
Se dice que un green es movido cuando no presenta una superficie plana sino con distintas pendientes. La bola no rueda recta, así que hay que calcular el desnivel o "caída" al patear.
En español también se dice "ondulados" que es un calco de "undulated", el término inglés oficial.
