Golf in Thompson

Thompson is a rural town in the northeastern corner of Connecticut along the Massachusetts and Rhode Island borders, where the Quinebaug River valley and the Thompson Speedway—one of New England's oldest oval racing tracks—define the community's public identity. Quinnatisset Country Club serves the private membership golf tradition in a community that combines rural New England character with the seasonal motorsports economy that the speedway brings to the area. Raceway Golf Club's name directly references this motorsports context, operating in proximity to the Thompson Speedway in a way that reflects the unusual combination of recreational identities that defines this corner of the Quiet Corner. Both facilities draw from Thompson's own population and from the Rhode Island and Massachusetts communities across the nearby borders.
