Golf Club House Halt railway station
Golf Club House Halt railway station, also known as Banff Golf House Halt railway station was opened in 1914. The halt was located close to the town of Banff's golf club on the links.〔(RCHAMS Site. )〕 The line from opened in 1859 and a temporary terminus opened at Banff on 30 July 1859 and a permanent station opened in 1860. There was a single platform at the Golf Club House Halt, located on the shore side of the line and no provision for goods traffic. The OS map of 1902 shows a 'Halt' at the site of the 1914 platform without indicating any structure at the site.〔(Banffshire Sheet IV.NE & SE (includes: Banff; Boyndie). Publication date: 1904. Date revised: 1902. )〕
Banff Links was the terminus of the line until 1860 when the harbour station was opened.〔(Banff Maritime and Heritage Association )〕
The Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoS) took over the line in 1867 and operated it until grouping in 1923. Passing into British Railways ownership in 1948, the line was, like the rest of the former GNoS lines along the Moray coast, considered for closure as part of the Beeching report and closure notices were issued in 1963. Passenger services were withdrawn in July 1964 and the entire line, including Ladysbridge and Banff station finally closed to all traffic in 1968. Old postcards show how handy the station was for the large numbers of visitors who used the beach in the summer months.〔(A Golf Club House Halt photograph. )〕

The halt was a simple structure with a short wooden platform, with apparently no shelter or provision for goods traffic,〔(GNoSR )〕 closing in 1964 with no remains surviving on site. The golf club house was nearby. The OS map of 1902 does shows a Links Halt at the site of the 1914 platform without indicating any structures at the site.〔(Banffshire Sheet IV.NE & SE (includes: Banff; Boyndie).
