The Siena Heights men's golf team was picked to finish sixth in the 2017-18 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) Preseason Coaches Ratings. SHU ended the 2016-17 season with a seventh place finish.

Coaches in the WHAC selected UNOH as the preseason favorite for men's golf. UNOH received six of the 10 first-place votes to secure the top spot. The Racers won last year's regular season by 37 strokes. Madonna landed in second with three first-place votes after its trip to the NAIA National Championships last year. The Crusaders won the WHAC Spring Tournament to claim the league's automatic berth and tied for 13th in the nation. Lawrence Tech earned the last first-place vote and was voted as third. 

Rochester is starting its first year in the WHAC as the school became a full member on July 1. The preseason rating is compiled using ballots from head coaches in the league. The first WHAC Jamboree is Sept. 8.
