Chester Golf Club Halt served Chester Golf Club in Chester, Cheshire, England, from 1891 to 1896 on the Borderlands line.

History

The station was opened in 1891 by the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway. It was situated to the north of what was later Hawarden Bridge Halt. Work began on developing the line by the North Wales and Liverpool Railway Committee. When the work was completed, this station was moved to an unsuitable location, so it closed on 18 May 1896[1] and replaced by Birkenhead Junction Golf Club Platform, which was to the north.[2]
