"Chaminade's aloha spirit creates tight-knit ohana culture on our hilltop campus with ocean views and modern facilities. Off-campus, Waikiki beaches and Honolulu internships thrill; students love small classes, caring profs, Silversword games, service projects, and diverse friends who feel like family."

Men's Team Notes

Chaminade men’s golf competes in NCAA Division II, regularly posting team totals in the mid‑800s over three‑round events and carding in the mid‑70s per player. The Silverswords feature several low‑scoring individuals, have advanced to national‑level showcases, and consistently place inside the top half of Pacific West‑caliber fields.
