A golf ball has a generally spherical surface and a plurality of dimples separated by a land area. At least one of the dimples has a perimeter edge connected to the land area and a dimple surface surrounded by the perimeter edge. The dimple surface has a plurality of channels and a plurality of channel edges that extend continuously from the perimeter edge to an intersection at a dimple center. The plurality of channels have at least a first type channel and a second type channel. The plurality of channel edges have a plurality of shared edges, wherein each shared edge is shared between a first type channel that is directly adjacent to a second type channel. Each shared edge extends radially from the dimple center to a terminal end and includes an intersection point therebetween. The portion of the shared edge that extends from the intersection point to the terminal end is an extension edge, and the extension edge is a portion of the perimeter edge.
