The golf team is also a perennial national contender, and has been ranked in the NAIA top 20 for nine of coach Daniels' 12 years as head coach. The team has competed in Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas during the fall and spring seasons and has competed in the NAIA National Championship Tournament multiple times.
