How many restrooms does a golf tournament need?
Field size decides it, and pace of play decides where they go. A typical 18-hole event pairs one standard porta potty rental near holes 4 to 6, another near holes 13 to 15, and a cluster by the clubhouse where carts stage before shotgun start. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets construction ratios, but tournament organizers generally use it as a rough guide: one toilet for smaller fields, more as headcount climbs. A 120-player field with caddies and volunteers often lands around three to five units plus one ADA-compliant stall, a range confirmed by the how many porta potties do I need guide. Under ADA Standards section 213.2, at least one unit in any cluster must be accessible, and never fewer than one regardless of cluster size. Course committees in Saint George typically request a deluxe flushable porta potty near the clubhouse for sponsors and board members, since flush units handle heavier weekend traffic without the smell buildup a standard tank gets after back-to-back rounds. Pair that with a portable sink rental at the turn so players can rinse up before the back nine. If the tournament runs into a benefit dinner or awards ceremony, a small restroom trailer rental covers the reception crowd without taxing the course units. Walk the routing with your pro shop before finalizing counts, and check the porta potty placement guide if fairway drainage or cart paths complicate a spot. Cart paths, drainage swales and sprinkler heads all affect where a unit can actually sit level.
Where should restrooms go on a golf course?
Restrooms belong wherever players wait, not just wherever there's room. Tee boxes with backups, the turn, and any hole with a long walk back to the clubhouse are the real pressure points. A unit tucked behind a maintenance shed does nothing for a group standing on a par-5 fairway, and a quick read of the porta potty rental basics helps committees new to event planning avoid that mistake. Ground needs to be stable and reasonably level; ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for firm, slip-resistant surfacing, which matters on courses with irrigated rough or sandy approach areas common around Saint George. For accessible units, keep a 60 inch turning circle clear per ADA Standards section 304.3.1, and make sure the approach path holds the 36 inch clearance width required under ADA Standards section 403.5.1. Standard units measure about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stand roughly 92 inches tall, so they tuck into cart barn corners or behind concession tents without blocking sightlines. If your course sits near a public right of way for spectator parking, placement there needs confirming with the city before delivery. Delivery trucks need a straight approach path, and cart-path-only courses sometimes require staging units near a service road instead of directly on the fairway, a constraint worth reviewing on the porta potty rental in Saint George service page. Talk through routing with the portable restroom rental team before the week of the event, not the day before. Tournament week is the wrong time to discover a unit can't reach hole 11, so lean on the construction site services crew's delivery experience even for a course setting.

Do golf tournaments need ADA-accessible restrooms?
Yes. Any cluster of portable units at a public or semi-public event needs at least one accessible stall under ADA Standards section 213.2, even for a modest charity scramble. An ADA accessible porta potty has a wider door opening, floor space for a wheelchair to turn, and grab bars positioned for a seated transfer. Door openings on accessible units meet the 32 inch minimum in ADA Standards section 404.2.3, and operable hardware follows ADA Standards section 309.4, meaning no tight grasping or twisting to work the latch. If your tournament draws sponsors, media or spectators from outside Saint George, plan for at least one accessible unit at every restroom cluster, not just at the clubhouse. Courses hosting a benefit tournament with a hospitality tent often add a second accessible unit near that tent, since foot traffic there runs heavier than on the course itself. Renters sometimes assume one accessible unit covers the whole event; it doesn't if clusters sit far apart, which is also why golf events near Washington or Santa Clara often split accessible units across two staging points. Check the ADA restroom requirements guide before finalizing your layout, and loop in whoever runs your event restroom rental planning early, since accessible units sometimes need extra lead time to source.
| unit | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| standard | event | $400 |
| ada | day | $230 |
| deluxe | day | $300 |
| trailer | event | $3,500 |
How far in advance should we book restrooms for a golf tournament?
Book four to six weeks out if you want guaranteed unit types, especially ADA and deluxe flush units, and use the request a quote form early to lock in a date. Spring and fall tournament season fills fast around Saint George. Last-minute requests still get handled through emergency porta potty rental, but selection narrows.
Can we get handwashing stations at the turn?
Yes. A handwashing station rental placed at the turn or halfway house is common for tournaments with a snack service. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing stations need soap and towels or a hand-drying device; sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy that standard.
What size unit works best for a hospitality tent?
Most hospitality tents pair with a deluxe flushable porta potty or a small trailer, depending on guest count. A tent hosting under 50 guests usually does fine with one deluxe unit; larger receptions lean toward a 2 stall restroom trailer, or a 4 stall restroom trailer if the awards dinner runs late.
Do we need a permit to place units near the clubhouse parking lot?
That depends on whether the placement touches public right of way. If units sit entirely on private course property, permitting usually isn't a factor. Confirm specifics with the city; see porta potty permit requirements for what to ask, and check general OSHA portable toilet requirements if the event doubles as a work site for course crews.
How many units does a 100-player charity scramble need?
A field that size typically runs three to four standard units plus one accessible unit, spread across the front nine, back nine and clubhouse area. Use the how many porta potties do I need guide to fine-tune based on your actual routing.
