The present invention relates to golf balls having a cover and a core and to golf balls having a cover, a core, and an intermediate layer between the cover and the core, where the core or at least one of the intermediate layer or the core is formed from at least one terpolymer of a first monomeric component of an olefinic monomer having from about 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, a second monomeric component of an unsaturated acrylate class ester having from about 2 to about 18 carbon atoms, and a third monomeric component of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of carbon monoxide, anhydride monomers, and monomers having a structure according to formula (I) where R<SB>1</SB> is hydrogen or a linear chain or branched chain alkyl group of from about 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, and R<SB>2</SB> is selected from the group consisting of linear chain alkyl, branched chain alkyl, carbocyclic, and unsubstituted aryl groups, each containing an epoxy moiety. The intermediate layer and/or core may also comprise a blend of at least one olefinic ionomer and the terpolymer.
