Wimbledon grass courts vs. US grass courts

It is my understanding that Wimbledons grass courts are not at all like US grass courts-Wimbledon plays more like a hardcourt today due to rye grass mixture and base underneath. I have played on the grass courts at Saddlebrook, Mission Hills , and Merion Cricket Club and I have been told these courts do not play at all like Wimbledon. Can anybody confirm this and why-how are they different?

I've played at mission hills and it was awesome. I would be surprised if Wimbledon were truly that much different. Roddick's team said Mission Hills was as good as the best grass courts in the rest of the world, which I assume would include wimbledon. ;)
