An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having a novel core structure and traveling a great flight distance on driver shots. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising a core composed of a spherical center and an envelope layer and at least one cover layer disposed outside the core, wherein the spherical center has an internal hardness difference between a maximum hardness and a minimum hardness of less than 5 in JIS-C hardness, the envelope layer is formed from an envelope rubber composition containing (a) a base rubber, (b) an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and/or a metal salt thereof as a co-crosslinking agent, (c) an crosslinking initiator and (d) an acid and/or a salt thereof, and the outermost cover layer has a highest hardness among the constituent members of the golf ball. |
