Golf in Putnam

Putnam is the commercial hub of the Quiet Corner, the largest town in the region and home to a downtown that has reinvented itself as an antiques destination after the decline of the cotton and wool mill economy. The Quinebaug River runs through the city, and the mill buildings along its banks—repurposed for retail and residential use—preserve the architectural record of the nineteenth-century industrial economy that Putnam has converted into a heritage-based commercial identity. Connecticut National Golf Course serves the regional golf market for the Quiet Corner, drawing from Putnam's own population and from the surrounding rural communities of Pomfret, Killingly, and Thompson that rely on Putnam as their center for commercial and recreational infrastructure in this corner of northeastern Connecticut.
