a body portion comprising a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, an interior cavity, and a top portion defining an opening to the interior cavity;
a vertical plane system characterizing the golf club head at an address position, the vertical plane system comprising:
a vertical plane bisecting the golf club head and intersecting a geometric center of a face portion in a front-to-rear direction;
a toe-side bounding plane parallel with the vertical plane and bounding a toe-side of the golf club head;
a heel-side bounding plane parallel with the vertical plane and bounding a heel-side of the golf club head;
a toe-side golf ball plane parallel with the vertical plane and configured to define a toe-side of a golf ball when the golf ball is aligned with the vertical plane; and
a heel-side golf ball plane parallel with the vertical plane and configured to define a heel-side of the golf ball when the golf ball is aligned with the vertical plane; and
a crown portion attached to the top portion and covering the opening in the top portion and enclosing the interior cavity, the crown portion comprising:
an inner composite layer, the inner composite layer being an inner structural layer;
an outer composite layer, the outer composite layer being an outer structural layer;
a toe-side integral rib disposed between the inner composite layer and the outer composite layer, the toe-side integral rib extending rearward from a toe-side integral rib starting location between the vertical plane and the toe-side golf ball plane and terminating at a toe-side integral rib ending location between the toe-side bounding plane and the toe-side golf ball plane; and
a heel-side integral rib disposed between the inner composite layer and the outer composite layer, the heel-side integral rib extending rearward from a heel-side integral rib starting location between the vertical plane and the heel-side bounding plane and terminating at a heel-side integral rib ending location between the heel-side bounding plane and the heel-side golf ball plane,
wherein the toe-side integral rib and the heel-side integral rib each comprise a plurality of composite layers, and
wherein a first composite layer of the plurality of composite layers in the toe-side integral rib has a width that is varied from a second adjacent composite layer of the plurality of composite layers in the toe-side integral rib.
