It was reported in February 1934 that George Mungall was leaving Avonbridge to take up a new appointment in Wellington, Shropshire. Mr Mungall's departure would be a sad loss, not only to Avonbridge Golf Club, to which he had devoted his time and energy, but to the community in general.
In January 1935 Avonbridge Golf Club held a whist drive in the Welfare Hall.

Although the club was listed in the 1947 Golfer's Handbook it's unlikely the club survived following the war.
The club disappeared following WW2.
