Chester Golf Club Halt was located north of Hawarden Bridge which carried the MS&LR over the River Dee. It was first brought into use in 1891 and was probably a very basic affair being constructed from timber. The line was double-track so it would have had two platforms.

The halt did not appear in the timetable but would have been served by trains between Wrexham Central and Chester Northgate.

In order to create a through route to the River Mersey, the MS&LR lured the WM&CQR into a venture that would see the creation of a line from a point just north of Chester Golf Club Halt, to Bidston, on the Wirral Railway’s (WR) network. The WR had originally proposed the line and received an Act to build it, but they could not raise the capital. To progress matters the WM&CQR and the GCR formed a joint company that ultimately became known as the North Wales & Liverpool Railway Committee. Work on the line began on 21st October 1892 and it opened on 18th May 1896.

The opening of the new line created a triangle of railways to the north of the Hawarden Bridge. At the south end was Wrexham Junction, the point at which the new Bidston line diverged from the original MS&LR line to Chester. At the north point of the Triangle was the Birkenhead Junction. From here a line went eastwards from the Bidston route to connect with the Chester Northgate line at Chester East Junction. Trains were thus able to run between Wrexham and Bidston, between Wrexham and Chester, and between Chester and Bidston.

Chester Golf Club Platform was no longer in a suitable location, and so new facilities were opened to the north which could serve both Wrexham - Bidston and Chester - Bidston services. The original halt closed when the new facilities opened on 18th May 1896.
