A designing method according to the present invention includes the steps of: (1) dividing a surface of a phantom sphere of a golf ball 2 into a plurality of units U by division lines 14 obtained by projecting edge lines of a regular polyhedron inscribed in the phantom sphere, on the surface of the phantom sphere; (2) obtaining a base pattern by randomly arranging a plurality of dimples 8 in one unit U such that the dimples 8 do not overlap each other; and (3) developing the base pattern over other units U such that patterns of two adjacent units U are not mirror-symmetrical to each other. The regular polyhedron is preferably a regular dodecahedron or a regular icosahedrons. |
