Imagine golf trolleys rattling past tartan carpets, wetsuits dripping next to mountain bikes in the garden-terrace sun, while the lobby bar buzzes with leaderboard talk and cappuccinos slide frothy from their cups. Fitness music mixes with the gentle hiss of the steam room: pure, constant sports vibe.
