The present invention 10 discloses a hand-operated golf ball 18 cleaning device comprising a housing 22 having bristles 34 located therein, wherein the bristle ends being configured to form a circular, semi-spherical entrainment groove 35 into which the golf balls 18 to be cleaned are placed for cleaning. Also shown are a hinged 26, securable cover 24 with a central recess for accommodating a shaft member 36, a shaft member 36 having a handle 14 portion on the exterior distal end, a ball entrainment block 30 on the distal end facing the housing, and a means therebetween for rotatably securing the shaft member within the shaft recess of the cover. The entrainment block 30 has two recesses 32 of a diameter similar to that of a golf ball 18 and sized to receive approximately one-third of each ball therein when the cover 24 is closed. The turning of the handle 14 rotates the shaft 36 and the entrainment block 30 with the golf balls 18 rotatably secured therein meanwhile applying sufficient pressure to the balls so they remain frictionally engaged with the bristle ends 34 as the bristle ends dislodge dirt and debris from the dimples and rotate the balls inside the recesses 32 of the spinning entrainment block 30 as they travel along the entrainment groove 35 formed by the bristle ends.
