My question is about existing of basis of club filter club($\omega_1$) with cardinality $c$. Does it exist?

That's independent of ZFC.

On the one hand, it's consistent with ZFC that $2^{\aleph_1}=\mathfrak c$, in which case the whole club filter on $\aleph_1$ has cardinality $\mathfrak c$.

On the other hand, the continuum hypothesis is consistent with ZFC and implies that the club filter has no basis of size $\mathfrak c=\aleph_1$. That's because the diagonal intersection of any $\aleph_1$ club sets is again club.
