How Many Restrooms Does a Golf Tournament Need?
Golf crowds spread out over 18 holes, so one restroom bank at the clubhouse never covers a full field. A good rule: one standard porta potty per 40 to 50 golfers, split between the clubhouse, the turn, and one far hole if your course runs long. A 144 player field with carts usually lands around 3 to 4 units total, one of them ADA accessible per ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster and never fewer than that no matter how small the group. Add a hand sanitizer station or handwashing station near the halfway house where players grab snacks; 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) calls for soap and towels or a dryer at wash stations, not sanitizer alone, so if food is served nearby a real sink setup is the safer call. Tournament committees running events near San Dimas, 4.6 miles southeast of Glendora, or La Verne, 5.7 miles east, often rent the same count and shuffle placement based on course layout. If your clubhouse already has indoor restrooms, cut the order to units near the turn only and skip the clubhouse unit. Use our porta potty placement guide or the how many porta potties calculator to fine-tune counts before you commit to a delivery window.
What Does a Golf Tournament Restroom Rental Cost?
Course rentals run by the day or the weekend, and pricing depends on unit type and how far the delivery truck has to travel across the property. A standard unit runs $125 to $400 for a weekend, and a deluxe flushable unit for a nicer clubhouse feel runs $150 to $290 for the week if your tournament spans multiple practice days. Most one-day scrambles just need the day rate.
| unit | day | weekend |
|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $125 - $400 |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $199 - $300 |
| deluxe | $85 - $1,200 | n/a (weekly $150-$290) |
Delivery fees run $100 to $500 for a single day depending on distance and how many drop points you need across the course. Ask about bundling a restroom trailer instead of stand-alone units if you want a nicer setup for a member-guest event; a 2 stall trailer or 4 stall trailer works well for tournaments with 100+ players and a banquet after. Check full pricing detail on our porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day pages before you finalize a budget with the club pro or event chair.
Where Should Units Go on a Golf Course?
Placement matters more on a golf course than almost anywhere else we service in Glendora. Units need firm, level ground per ADA Standards section 302.1, which calls for stable, slip resistant surfaces, so cart paths near the tee box usually work better than rough turf that gets soft after irrigation. Keep at least 36 inches of clear path to any unit per ADA Standards section 403.5.1, especially near the clubhouse where carts, bag drop and foot traffic all cross. A 60 inch turning circle, called out in ADA Standards section 304.3.1, matters for the accessible unit if a player uses a wheelchair or scooter, so leave open space, not a spot wedged behind a cart barn. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance to unload safely, which rules out tight paths between holes, so we usually stage near a maintenance road or parking lot and walk units in from there. Glendora courses with mature tree lines sometimes limit truck access on the back nine; tell us that during scheduling so we route the correct number of units to reachable spots. If your event also needs shade, water stations or golf cart staging, our construction site services and event restroom rental pages cover the full setup, and the porta potty rental checklist helps you confirm details with the course superintendent before delivery day.
How far in advance should I book restrooms for a golf tournament?
Book 2 to 3 weeks out for a standard field, longer if your date lands on a busy spring or fall weekend. Popular courses near Covina, 5.9 miles southwest of Glendora, fill delivery slots fast during tournament season. Early booking also locks in ADA unit availability, since fewer accessible units exist in rotation.
Do we need a permit to place units on private golf course property?
Placement on private course property usually does not need a city permit, but confirming with Glendora is still worth a call if units sit near a public road or right of way. See our porta potty permit requirements page for what to check before delivery.
Can we get restrooms for just the back nine?
Yes. We deliver to any reachable point on the course, though a truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance to unload. Cart paths and maintenance roads work well as staging points when the back nine sits far from the clubhouse.
What if our tournament runs into an emergency, like a broken unit mid-event?
Call us and we dispatch a swap unit the same day. See emergency porta potty rental for how fast response works and what information speeds up the swap.
Should we rent a restroom trailer instead of standard units for a member-guest event?
For a nicer look and indoor-style stalls, yes. A restroom trailer suits catered events or awards dinners better than standard units. Check restroom trailer rental cost for pricing across trailer sizes before deciding.
