Where hospitality swings as strong as your best drive.
A Vision Born on the Fairway
The Cardinal Room is more than an event space — it’s the heart of hospitality at the Golf Club of Indiana. When it was first envisioned, it was about more than giving folks a pretty view of the 18th hole (though, trust us, that view doesn’t hurt). It was about creating a space where memories are made, milestones are celebrated, and connections are forged. As Boone County has grown, so has The Cardinal Room’s role — transforming from a golf course gathering spot into a premier destination for fundraisers, business mixers, weddings, and everything in between.
Jeff Rubenstein, one of the visionaries behind the Cardinal Room, put it best: “We’re in the hospitality business. Our goal is always to make sure our clients leave happy — and eager to return.”
Why It Stands Out
In a world full of neutral-toned ballrooms and forgettable function halls, The Cardinal Room sticks in your memory — not just because of its sweeping views and versatile design, but because of the people who run it. The staff here brings a personal touch to every event, blending professionalism with warm, small-town charm. Whether it’s a retirement party or a non-profit gala, they make each guest feel like the guest of honor.
Want to know the real secret? It’s the kind of place where problems are solved before you even know they exist. That’s not just service — that’s service with style.
Tailgates, Toasts, and Tailored Experiences
A shining example of The Cardinal Room’s magic? The annual Zionsville Education Foundation Fundraiser. Picture this: a formal gala transforms into a high-energy tailgate the moment fundraising goals are shattered. There’s cheering, community, and more spirit than a homecoming game — all set against the backdrop of one of Boone County’s most beautiful venues.
That energy, that joy, that sense of purpose? It’s what The Cardinal Room was made for.
More Than a Venue — A Community Connector
Beyond weddings and celebrations, The Cardinal Room has become a go-to gathering place for Boone County’s business community. From hosting Chamber of Commerce events to forming lasting partnerships with local organizations, the space is cementing itself as a hub for professional connection and collaboration.
Jeff Rubenstein and his exceptional team are always looking for ways to expand their network, build stronger community relationships, and make The Cardinal Room a cornerstone of Boone County business life.
Event Extras You Didn’t See Coming
Yes, it’s at a golf club — but don’t think you have to know your nine iron from your pitching wedge to enjoy the perks. Clients hosting fundraisers often receive donated foursomes to use in silent auctions, generating more buzz (and bids) than a front-nine birdie. The added foot traffic benefits everyone — and introduces even more people to the hidden gem that is The Cardinal Room.
Oh, and did we mention the extra’s? Every event comes with complimentary linens, setup time, soft drinks, and discounts for multi-day bookings. Return clients even get special pricing. It’s the hospitality world’s version of a frequent flyer program.
The Cardinal Room’s Motto: Classy, Fun & Unflappable
If The Cardinal Room had a personality, it’d be that rare unicorn who can gracefully host your wedding, crack a clever joke, fix the cake stand behind the scenes, and still have time to refill your iced tea. It’s elegant without being stuffy, fun without being flashy, and, above all, endlessly accommodating.
Its a venue, a place where celebrations come to life, community comes together, and every guest leaves with a story to tell.
