The present invention is directed to an iron-type golf club head having an improved sole configuration. In a preferred embodiment, the sole configuration comprises a planar surface, a first cambered surface, a second cambered surface, a third cambered surface and a fourth cambered surface. The first cambered surface is located at a heel portion of the club head and the second cambered surface is located opposite the first cambered surface at a toe portion of the club head. The third cambered surface is located proximate a leading edge which is located at the forwardmost progression of a ball striking surface of the golf club head. The fourth cambered surface is located proximate a trailing edge of a back portion of the club head. All four cambered surfaces are generally trapezoidal in shape and all four cambered surfaces are beveled toward the central portion of the sole whereby all of the surfaces integrally converge to the planar surface which is generally rectangular in shape and located in the central portion of the sole. The planar surface extends below a horizontal plane which intersects the leading edge of the golf club head and the horizontal plane is perpendicular to a vertical plane wherein a central axis of the hosel of the golf club head is disposed within the vertical plane.
