Most golf balls on sale today have about 300 - 450 dimples. There were a few balls having over 500 dimples before. The record holder was a ball with 1,070 dimples -- 414 larger ones (in four different sizes) and 656 pinhead-sized ones. All brands of balls, except one, have even-numbered dimples. The only odd-numbered ball on market is a ball with 333 dimples.

No, it depends on the ball: the size, the compression, if its cover is balata or surlyn. The dimples help with accuracy and distance.

apparently not, wiki golf ball dimples if you like, but it seems the golf ball regulators were sued by a irregular ball manufacturer.
