How many dimples are on a standard golf ball?

336

Background

A standard golf ball has around 336 dimples. These small dips help the ball travel through the air. Without dimples, a ball would fly only half as far. Brands use anywhere from 300 to 500 dimples. The dimple design was discovered by accident in the 1800s.
