The Golf Street railway station is located on Golf Street in Carnoustie, Angus, Scotland, and serves the town's western areas. The station opened in 1948 as Golf Street Halt before changing its name on May 16, 1983.

In the Strategic Rail Authority's 2002/3 financial year, only nine people (excluding season ticket holders) paid fares at Golf Street station, with nine disembarking, making it the third least busy station in the United Kingdom, after Gainsborough Central and neighbouring Barry Links. Usage increased slightly during the 1999 Open Championship, as extra services were laid on to bring spectators to Carnoustie Golf Links.^[1]
