Golf balls having a core and containing at least one surrounding layer made from a functionalized ethylene copolymer having a linear or substantially linear structure are provided. The core may be made of a polybutadiene rubber material. The functionalized ethylene copolymer composition may be used to form any layer in the golf ball structure such as, for example, an outer core, intermediate layer, inner cover, and/or outer cover. The composition may be blended with ionomeric or non-ionomeric resins such as polyamides, polyurethanes, polyureas, polycarbonates, polyesters, and polyacrylates to form the layer. The resulting layers provide the golf ball with improved resiliency and impact durability.
