Golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads
Embodiments of golf club heads, golf clubs, and methods to manufacture golf club heads and golf clubs are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion having a front portion, a first interior cavity in the body portion having a first opening in the front portion, a second interior cavity at least partially surrounded by the first interior cavity and having a second opening in the front portion, a first filler material at least partially filling the first interior cavity, and a second filler material at least partially filling the second interior cavity. The first face portion is attached to the front portion to close the first opening. The second face portion is attached to the front portion to close the second opening. The first filler material and the second filler material have at least one different physical property. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

a body portion, a toe portion with a toe portion edge, a heel portion with a heel portion edge, a front portion, a back portion with a back wall portion, a top portion with a top portion edge, and a sole portion with a sole portion edge;
a first interior cavity in the body portion; and
a face portion comprising a first face portion and a second face portion, the first face portion attached to the front portion to enclose the first interior cavity, the first face portion at least partially defining a second interior cavity enclosed by the second face portion,
wherein a maximum distance between the top portion edge and the sole portion edge is greater than a maximum distance between the face portion and the back wall portion,
wherein the first interior cavity is at least partially filled with a first filler material,
wherein the second interior cavity is at least partially filled with a second filler material, and
wherein a thickness of the second face portion is different from a thickness of the first face portion.
8. An iron-type golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein the first filler material and the second filler material have at least one different physical property.
9. An iron-type golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein the first filler material and the second filler material have at least one different physical property comprising density or elasticity.
10. An iron-type golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein the second interior cavity is defined by a portion of the first face portion extending from the front portion into the first interior cavity.
11. An iron-type golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein the second face portion is separate from the first face portion and is attached to the first face portion to enclose the second interior cavity.
12. An iron-type golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein the second face portion is separate from the first face portion and is attached to the first face portion to enclose the second interior cavity, wherein the second filler material comprises an insert conforming or substantially conforming to a shape of the second interior cavity, and wherein the insert is placed in the second interior cavity before the second face portion is attached to the first face portion.
13. An iron-type golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein the body portion comprises a plurality of recessed portions defining the first interior cavity, wherein a central recessed portion of the plurality of recessed portions includes a maximum width of the first interior cavity.
14. An iron-type golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein the second face portion has a smaller thickness than a thickness of the first face portion.
15. A golf club comprising:
a shaft of a golf club having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
a grip of a golf club attached to the first end of the shaft;
a golf club head coupled the second end of the shaft, the golf club head including a body portion, a toe portion with a toe portion edge, a heel portion with a heel portion edge, a front portion, a back portion with a back wall portion, a top portion with a top portion edge, and a sole portion with a sole portion edge;
a face portion having a first face portion and a second face portion;
a first interior cavity in the body portion having a first opening in the front portion;
a second interior cavity having a second opening in the front portion;
