The first 18 holes at the hosting club, Real Sociedad Hípica Española Club de Campo, were completed in 1997, located north of Madrid, Spain, in the district of Soto de Viñuelas forest, 35 kilometres from the city center. The course had previously hosted the 2007Madrid Open and the 2010Madrid Masters on the men's European Tour. The club has since then completed another 18 holes. Both corses were designed by Robert von Hagge, known for also designing Le Golf National, outside Paris, France.[3][4]
Each team consisted of six players. On the first two days each player played 18 holes of stroke play each day. The lowest five scores from each team's six players counted to the team total each day.
The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the following three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke play. The first placed team was drawn to play the quarter final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. Teams were allowed to use six players during the team matches, selecting four of them in the two morning foursome games and five players in to the afternoon single games. Teams knocked out after the quarter finals played one foursome game and four single games in each of their remaining matches. Extra holes were played in games that were all square after 18 holes. However, if the result of the team match was already decided, games were declared halved.[6]
The next eight teams in the stroke-play stage formed flight B, also played knock-out match-play, but with one foursome game and four single games in each match, to decide their final positions.
The teams placed 17–19 in the stroke-play stage formed flight C, to meet each other to decide their final positions.
