1. A golf ball comprising:
- an outer core consisting of an inner core and one or more intermediate layers covering the inner core; and
a cover covering the outer core,wherein the inner core consists of a center and a surrounding layer disposed outside the center, and the inner core has a surface hardness H4 which is equal to or less than the surface hardness H6 of the outer core, and the cover has a hardness H7 of 50 or less in Shore D hardness,wherein the intermediate layer is formed from a highly elastic intermediate layer composition that contains(A) a highly elastic polyamide resin having a flexural modulus in a range from 700 MPa to 5,000 MPa;
(B) a metal-neutralized product of ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer in an amount ratio ((A)/(B)) of (A) the highly elastic polyamide resin to (B) the metal-neutralized product of ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer being (20 mass % to 80 mass %)/(80 mass % to 20 mass %) (the total is 100 mass %); and
(C) a resin having a polar functional group in an amount of 0.1 part by mass to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the sum of (A) the highly elastic polyamide resin and (B) the metal-neutralized product of ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having an excellent properties like flight distance and low temperature durability. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising: a core consisting of a center and one or more intermediate layers covering the center; and a cover covering the core, wherein at least one piece or one layer of said intermediate layers is formed from a highly elastic intermediate layer composition that contains (A) a highly elastic polyamide resin having a flexural modulus in a range from 700 MPa to 5,000 MPa; (B) a metal-neutralized product of ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer and (C) a resin having a polar functional group in a specific way.
