A golf ball 2 includes a core 4, a mid layer 6 positioned outside the core 4, a reinforcing layer 8 positioned outside the mid layer 6, and a cover 10 positioned outside the reinforcing layer 8. The difference between: a JIS-C hardness H(5.0) and a JIS-C hardness Ho at the central point is 6.0 or greater. The difference between: a JIS-C hardness H(12.5) and the hardness H(5.0) is 4.0 or less. The difference between a JIS-C hardness Hs at the surface of the core 4 and the hardness H(12.5) is 10.0 or greater. The difference between the hardness Hs and the hardness Ho is 22.0 or greater. In the golf ball 2, there is no zone in which a hardness decreases from the central point toward the surface. A hardness H2 of the mid layer 6 is greater than a hardness H3 of the cover 10.
