I'd argue that the difference in damage is compensated for by the lower weight and (if I'm not mistaken) lower stamina usage. The scaling is also higher on the club, which means that the damage difference is mitigated as the game goes on.

That said, neither weapon is particularly high-end due to the existence of the Reinforced Club and Homunculus Mace, the former also being available quite early if you make a beeline for it.
