I'm not seeing where the club is located. All I can ascertain is that it's somewhere in Anoka county.

It is north of Blaine. East of Hwy 65 on Klondike Drive NE. About a 8/10ths of a mile past the Blue Ribbon Pine disc golf place.

Make sure you bring a mouth guard and lash down any loose objects when you turn off Hwy 65. The road in there is worse than our worn out pavement.

Yeah the new website seems to have lost that info...

And yeah Klondike Drive can be a pretty rough road. Condition depends on what the weather has been like. There was a few times this winter that it was actually pretty smooth.

Last summer law enforcement was running speed traps on Klondike. It is posted at 35 mph. Locals were complaining of excessive speed and the dust that comes with the higher speeds. At 35 mph you can't ride the tops of the wash board.

Road conditions vary. Depending on the weather, the amount of traffic and how long it's been since the City graded the road. It's does get little rough at times.

Maybe I'm just used to it because I've been traveling on Klondike so much for so long. But I think for a gravel road that gets as much traffic Klondike, it's kept in pretty good condition. I find it kind of amusing how slooow and caaareful some folks are when driving on Klondike, makes wonder if they have seen a dirt road before. I went by a fellow on Wednesday that was going about 5 or 10 on the far wrong side of the road trying to avoid a little wash board. At 45, the road was just fine.

The address for Beaverbrook is: 20500 Palisade St NE, Cedar, MN 55330

At 45mph that will net you a proformance award of 10 mph over.

I have been going there since 1995, don't remember ever seeing a cop on that road unless they were responding to the clubs alarm system. But I don't doubt they do watch it, after all there is a frisbe golf place there that attracts hundreds of young people who just can't get enough of sliding their car side ways on the dirt road or maybe those city kids have never seen a dirt road before?

There isn't many places for the cops to hide along there either with out going into the Hoffman's sod fields , down on the east end there are some spots to tuck in to if your coming in from the east side.

The new 100 and 200 yard ranges are now under construction, but they won't be open till fall or next spring depending on if the grass seeding takes hold quick.
