How many restrooms does a golf tournament need?
Start with your field size and split it across the course instead of clustering everything at the clubhouse. A field of 120 players spread over 18 holes moves better with three to four standard portable toilets placed near turns 4, 9, 13 and 16 than with a single bank near the pro shop. South Gate Porta Pros lays units at holes where carts already stop, so nobody detours far from play.
ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of single-user toilets, and never fewer than one even for a small event. For a tournament with hospitality tents or a scoring area, add an ADA accessible porta potty there too, since players and guests both use it. ADA Standards section 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside the unit, and section 404.2.3 sets the minimum clear door width at 32 inches, so wheelchair users and walkers both fit without a squeeze.
Standard units run about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stand roughly 92 inches tall, which matters when you're tucking one behind a cart path or under tree cover without blocking sightlines. If your tournament draws a bigger gallery, look at a restroom trailer rental near the 18th green instead, since it handles more traffic per hour than a bank of single units. For a course with clubhouse dining or a member reception after play, an event restroom rental package can combine trailer and standard units in one order.
What restroom package fits a one-day tournament?
Most one-day member-guest and charity tournaments in South Gate rent by the day or the weekend rather than committing to a week. A standard unit runs in the $100 to $350 day range depending on count and site access, and a weekend rate for the same unit typically lands in the $125 to $400 band, which covers a Friday pro-am through Sunday scramble without a separate delivery each day.
| unit | day | week | weekend |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $400 |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $199 - $300 | n/a |
| deluxe | $85 - $1200 | $150 - $290 | n/a |
A deluxe flushable porta potty is worth the upgrade for a title sponsor's hospitality area or a VIP tent behind the 18th hole, since it flushes and typically includes a sink. Delivery fees run separately, generally $100 to $500 for a single-day drop depending on distance and how many units you're placing across the course. If your tournament also feeds players, pair restrooms with a handwashing station rental near the halfway house, since OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) calls for potable water at any place of employment, and your catering staff and volunteers count.

Do golf tournaments need permits for portable restrooms in South Gate?
Placement on a private course usually needs only the course's own sign-off, but if any unit sits in a public right of way, a street closure area, or a city park adjacent to the club, that placement needs confirming with the City of South Gate before delivery. We have not verified a specific municipal permit rule for tournament sanitation, so we ask the course and the city directly rather than guess. Our porta potty permit requirements page walks through who to call.
Course access also matters for delivery. Cart paths near the maintenance yard or a rear service gate often give our trucks room without crossing fairways during play, and we schedule drops before dawn to clear the course by first tee time. South Gate sits close enough to several member courses in the wider area that a same-day emergency swap is realistic; if a unit gets knocked or overfilled mid-tournament, our emergency porta potty rental line can get a replacement out fast. For multi-day member-guest formats, our porta potty rental checklist helps a tournament chair confirm counts, ADA units, and handwashing before the field tees off Thursday.
How many porta potties do I need for a golf tournament with 150 players?
Plan on four to five standard units spread across the course, plus one ADA unit minimum per ADA Standards section 213.2. Spacing beats total count. See our how many porta potties do I need guide for field-size math.
Can we get a restroom trailer instead of standalone units?
Yes. A restroom trailer rental works well near the clubhouse or 18th green for a tournament with a gallery. A 2 stall restroom trailer suits a modest field; larger galleries fit an 8 stall restroom trailer.
Do we need handwashing stations separate from the restrooms?
Yes if you're feeding players or staff on site. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not just sanitizer. A portable sink rental covers halfway houses and hospitality tents.
How far in advance should we book restrooms for a tournament?
Book as soon as your field size firms up, ideally two to three weeks out for a standard field, sooner for a trailer. Weekend tournaments book faster than weekday events, so request a quote early to lock your date.
What if a unit needs service during the tournament?
Call our emergency porta potty rental line. South Gate Porta Pros can typically reach a course and swap or service a unit the same day, keeping play moving without a long backup at the tee.
