Each team will play one round on White Witch and Cinnamon Hill courses for the first 36 holes. The final golf course rotation will be determined based on the number of confirmed teams in the field and conditions of each course.

After Round 2, the field will be cut in half. The top half of the field will be grouped into flights A & B and play White Witch.
