How many restrooms does a golf tournament need?
Start with the field size and the course layout, not a guess. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets construction ratios (one toilet for 20 workers or fewer), and while a golf course isn't a job site, tournament crews use the same logic: spread fixtures across the walking route instead of clustering them at one spot. A typical plan spaces standard portable toilets at the turn, near the 5th and 13th tees, and by the practice green, with at least one ADA accessible porta potty per cluster under ADA Standards 213.2, which requires 5 percent of grouped units to be accessible and never fewer than one. Galleries at member-guest events often want something nicer than a job-site unit, so we also place deluxe flushable units near hospitality tents. For a members' event or member-guest at a club in West Palm Beach, a restroom trailer at the clubhouse handles overflow while portables cover the back nine. Not sure on count? Run it through our porta potty calculator guide before you commit to a layout, and check the placement guide for cart-path clearance.
Where should restrooms go on the course?
Away from greens, but close enough that players don't lose five minutes walking. Cart paths need clear access for delivery trucks, and ADA units need a stable, slip-resistant surface under ADA Standards 302.1, plus a 60-inch turning circle per ADA Standards 304.3.1 for anyone using a wheelchair or scooter. Door openings on accessible units meet the 32-inch minimum in ADA Standards 404.2.3. We stage most units the morning of round one and pull them the evening after the final group finishes, which keeps them off camera during broadcast windows and out of the way during pro-ams. For a course near Riviera Beach, 6.5 miles northeast of West Palm Beach, or one closer to Palm Springs, 9.5 miles south, drive time factors into our delivery schedule, and we build it into the request a quote process so nothing sits idle on a fairway overnight. Hospitality tents and VIP areas usually get a restroom trailer rental instead of standalone units; a 4 stall restroom trailer handles a mid-size tent, and an 8 stall restroom trailer covers a larger one. Handwashing stations belong at concession areas and near any food service, since general sanitation rules under OSHA 1926.51(c) apply on any worksite, including the grounds crew and vendor staff working the event.
What does it cost to rent restrooms for a golf tournament?
Pricing depends on unit type, duration and how many days you need coverage. A standard portable toilet rented for a multi-day event runs in the standard event band; an ADA unit rented by the day sits higher because of the added hardware. Restroom trailers scale with stall count and rental length.
| Unit | Duration | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard portable toilet | Event (multi-day) | $400 |
| ADA accessible unit | Day | $230 |
| Restroom trailer | Weekend | $2,000 |
| Restroom trailer | Event (multi-day) | $3,500 |
| Delivery fee | Weekend | $200 |
Add a handwashing station rental for concession zones and vendor tents; those run separately from the restroom units. See the full restroom trailer rental cost breakdown or the general porta potty rental cost page if you're comparing formats before you set a budget. For clubs running an annual event, ask about monthly porta potty rental terms if the units stay on-site between tournaments.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book?
Book as soon as the tee sheet and hospitality layout are set, ideally 4 to 6 weeks out for a multi-day tournament. Weekend availability tightens fastest. Call earlier if you need a luxury restroom trailer or multiple ADA units, since those move first during tournament season.
Do we need ADA units even if no players use a wheelchair?
Yes, if units are clustered for a gallery or hospitality area. ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit per cluster, regardless of whether a specific attendee has requested one. Spectators, staff and vendors all count.
Can restroom trailers run on generator power at a course with no hookups?
Yes, most trailers we place run self-contained with onboard power and water tanks. Confirm generator needs when you book, since larger trailers may need supplemental power depending on stall count and lighting.
How often are units serviced during a multi-day event?
Daily servicing is standard for tournament week, with extra passes during high-traffic days like the final round. See how often are porta potties cleaned for the baseline interval we build from.
What about handwashing near food and beverage tents?
Handwashing stations with soap and towels belong at every concession point, consistent with 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device rather than sanitizer alone. We place these separately from restroom clusters near vendor rows.
