A skittles match had been under way on Friday evening when Storm Claudia hit. Witnesses said that by 22:00 GMT, the area around the club was 15cm (6in) under water with people forced to wade to their cars.
The club was then forced to cancel its annual awards night on Saturday evening, as the flooding worsened.
Mr Rice-Smith added: “We are lucky this year that, so far, while the water did decimate our green, it didn’t reach our clubhouse.
“If it had got into the building, it would have probably finished the club off and that would have a knock-on effect.”
Weddings and wakes are held at the club house and various community groups, such as the Women’s Institute, also use the space.
