This station had its origins in the agreement that allowed the Great Western Railway and the Great Central Railway joint venture London to Birmingham line to pass through the Wilton Park estate near Beaconsfield. The owner of the estate, Colonel William du Pre, insisted that a halt be built adjacent to the golf course on the estate that he had just commissioned. The station duly opened in 1915 as Beaconsfield Golf Links halt, although the 1925 Ordnance Survey map shows it as Seer Green Halt. It was later rebranded to its current name to reflect its service to the two communities. This is the view from the footbridge.
