Golf ball

A golf ball comprising a core and at least one cover covering the core, wherein

• the core is formed from a core rubber composition containing (a) a base rubber containing a polybutadiene, (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) a crosslinking initiator, and (d) a terpene-based resin;
• the core rubber composition contains (d) the terpene-based resin in an amount of from 3 parts by mass to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of (a) the base rubber;
• and
• (d) the terpene-based resin is at least one member selected from the group consisting of an α-pinene-phenol copolymer, an α-pinene-α-methylstyrene copolymer, an α-pinene-α-methylstyrene-phenol copolymer, a β-pinene-phenol copolymer, a β-pinene-α-methylstyrene copolymer, and a β-pinene-α-methylstyrene-phenol copolymer.
