We are very happy that our golf school in Mallorca has once again received the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award. This award is based on reviews from real guests and represents one of the strongest trust signals in the international travel industry.

At the same time, we also see on Google how many golfers share their experiences with our golf school. For us, these reviews are especially valuable because they are more than just numbers or star ratings. They show what golfers actually experienced during their training week with us at Capdepera Golf.

The interesting question is therefore not only that we received an award. Much more important is why so many international golfers rate their golf instruction experience with us in Mallorca so positively.

Many golfers first look for technical help

Most golfers do not arrive with abstract training goals. They come with very specific problems from their game.

The fairway wood is unreliable. The driver keeps missing to the right. Iron shots are inconsistent. Clean contact while pitching is difficult. Bunker shots feel uncertain. Uneven lies create confusion. Under pressure, the swing suddenly feels completely different compared to the driving range.

This is exactly how the training week begins for many golfers in Mallorca. They are looking for technical help, clear explanations and exercises that help them strike the ball more consistently again.

That is why we work with video analysis, direct feedback, structured practice tasks and individual corrections during our lessons. Technique remains an important part of golf instruction. Without a better understanding of movement, impact and ball flight, no golfer can become more stable over the long term.

But for us, technique is not the end of the learning process. It is the beginning.

What comes after technical consistency at our golf school?

As soon as a golfer starts striking the ball more consistently, the most important question changes. It is no longer only about how to execute a shot technically. It becomes about when that shot actually makes sense on the golf course.

Golf is not decided on the driving range. Golf is decided on the course, in real situations, with wind, lies, hazards, expectations and emotions. That is where it becomes visible whether a golfer can truly apply their technique.

For this reason, we combine technical work with on course training, strategy and structured practice. Our Signature System helps us see golf instruction not as a collection of isolated tips, but as a complete learning process.

Inside the Practice Lab, the focus is on building skills, testing them and making them repeatable under changing conditions. The Strategy Lab focuses on making better decisions on the golf course and avoiding typical chains of mistakes.

During the week, many golfers realize that their game does not become more stable only because of better technique. It becomes more stable when they learn to evaluate situations more clearly, choose more realistic targets and understand which mistakes are still acceptable in a certain situation.

Why daily on course training is so important

An important part of our golf courses is the daily work on the golf course itself. Capdepera Golf has been our home base for more than 20 years. This is where the situations are created that golfers later need to solve on their own.

On the course, it is not enough to know a good golf swing. The golfer must decide which target makes sense, which risks are still acceptable and what a normal miss should look like. These questions can only be answered to a limited degree on the driving range.

That is why we use the golf course as a learning environment. We look at the lie, the wind, distances, hazards, angles into the green and the current playing situation. This creates a better understanding of why a technically good shot can still be the wrong decision.

This transfer from the practice area onto the golf course is mentioned positively again and again in many guest reviews. Golfers experience not only instruction, but a direct connection between training and real golf. Capdepera Golf plays a very important role in this process. The possibility to train directly on the course and integrate real playing situations into the lessons is extremely valuable for the learning process.

Small groups and personal coaching

Another reason for the many positive reviews is the personal coaching environment. Our courses are intentionally structured in a way that allows us to stay close to each individual golfer.

Many training sessions take place in very small groups. This allows us to observe movements more precisely, answer questions directly and adapt exercises to the golfer’s individual level.

For beginners, this creates security and orientation. For more advanced golfers, it creates more precision, more structure and a stronger connection between technique, practice and playing strategy.

International golfers especially appreciate this combination of personal atmosphere, clear structure and direct feedback. A golf holiday therefore becomes more than just a beautiful week in Mallorca. It becomes a real learning experience.

Golf instruction is not only about technique

Many poor scores are not caused by a single bad shot. They are often created through a chain of small technical mistakes, poor decisions and emotional reactions.

A golfer misses the fairway, tries to force the next shot, chooses an overly aggressive target, ends up in another difficult situation and loses several shots because of it. Almost every amateur golfer knows situations like this.

That is why strategic thinking is an important part of modern golf instruction for us. We want golfers not only to swing better, but also to make better decisions.

This does not mean playing defensively or fearfully. It means seeing the situation more clearly. Good strategy allows a golfer to swing with conviction because the target actually fits the situation.

This connection between technique, training, strategy and mental stability is an important part of our teaching philosophy in Mallorca.

Why many guests share their experiences

Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2026 for Michel Monnard & Tobias Widmer Golf School in Mallorca

Reviews are rarely written because of one single good tip. Many guests leave a review because they feel they understand their golf game better after their training week.

They understand why certain mistakes happen. They understand which shots they really need on the course. They receive exercises they can continue working on. And they experience that golf instruction does not have to stay limited to the driving range.

The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award and the many positive Google reviews are therefore much more to us than a nice public recognition. They confirm that our way of teaching is understandable, helpful and sustainable for many golfers.

We are especially happy that these responses come from golfers from many different countries. Beginners, handicap students, advanced players and experienced golfers all arrive with different expectations. When they rate their week positively afterwards, it shows us that our system works across different playing levels.

A thank you to our golfers

We would like to thank all golfers who share their experiences on Tripadvisor, Google and other platforms. Reviews like these do not only help future guests with their decision. They also help us understand which parts of our instruction are most valuable.

The Travellers’ Choice Award 2026 means a lot to us. Even more important for us, however, is that many golfers leave Mallorca with more clarity, more confidence and a better understanding of their own golf game after their training week.
