How Many Restrooms Does a Golf Tournament Need?
Start with player count, not hole count. A shotgun-start field of 100 to 150 golfers spread across 18 holes needs restrooms staged at turns, not just near the clubhouse, because nobody walks back four fairways to find one. We typically place a standard porta potty rental near the 4th, 9th, 13th and 18th tees, then add a deluxe flushable porta potty or two by the hospitality tent for sponsors. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets construction-site ratios, and while a golf event is not a job site, tournament organizers in Jersey City still use that 1-per-20-to-40-person logic as a planning floor. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent be accessible, so a bank of four standard units at the clubhouse needs one ADA accessible porta potty in the mix. Check our porta potty rental cost page and the how many porta potties do I need guide before you finalize headcount with the club. For weekend member-guest events we quote by the day; multi-day member-guest weeks run better on our porta potty monthly rental or weekly terms once you know the full schedule.
Where Should Units Go on a Golf Course?
Placement beats quantity. A unit tucked behind the 7th tee box does nothing if the cart path there is gravel and narrow, so we walk the layout with the tournament director first. ADA Standards section 405.2 caps accessible ramp slope at 1:12, which matters if a unit sits on a slope near a green complex, and ADA Standards section 304.3.1 requires a 60 inch turning circle in front of any accessible unit, so we need flat, firm ground per ADA section 302.1. Delivery trucks need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance to set units near a maintenance road or cart barn access point. For a course inside Jersey City proper, our porta potty placement guide covers turf protection and where mats go under wheels. Bigger member events sometimes pair a restroom trailer rental at the clubhouse with standard units on the back nine, and a 2 stall restroom trailer handles overflow at the 19th hole bar without crowding the men's and women's locker rooms. If the tournament runs a charity gala after the round, a luxury restroom trailer upgrades the guest experience without asking anyone to walk to the pro shop.
What Does a Golf Tournament Restroom Rental Cost?
Pricing depends on unit type, count and how long the course needs them staged. A standard unit rents for a single event day in the range below, and most 18-hole tournaments only need one delivery day plus pickup the next morning.
| unit | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| standard | day | $150 |
| standard | event | $400 |
| ada | day | $230 |
| deluxe | day | $300 |
| trailer | event | $3,500 |
A weekend member-guest tournament with a Friday practice round and Saturday-Sunday competition often runs a weekend rate instead of two separate day rates, and our restroom trailers quote separately on the restroom trailer rental cost page. Delivery fees apply on top of unit cost and scale with how far the crew drives and how many stops the route needs across the course. Golf clubs near Secaucus, 6.2 miles north of Jersey City, and Kearny, 6.2 miles northwest, often book the same tournament weekend, so we stage trucks efficiently across all three. If your host club needs handwashing stations near the snack cart or turn shed, add those from our handwashing station rental page; 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at any washing station, not sanitizer alone.

How far in advance should we book restrooms for a golf tournament?
Book 3 to 4 weeks out for a standard field, longer if you want a restroom trailer, since trailers have fewer units in rotation than standard toilets. Charity and pro-am events with sponsor tents should lock delivery dates as soon as the course confirms the tee sheet.
Do we need an ADA unit if the course already has accessible restrooms?
Yes, if you are placing portable units away from the clubhouse. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of single-user toilets, and clubhouse restrooms do not cover golfers standing at the 4th tee.
Can Jersey City Porta Pros deliver units across an entire 18-hole course?
Yes. We route multiple stops per delivery, placing units at turns, tee boxes and hospitality areas in one visit. See the portable restroom rental page for how multi-stop event delivery works.
What is better for a golf tournament, standard units or a restroom trailer?
Standard units cover the course; a trailer covers the clubhouse gathering after. Most tournaments use both: standard units on the back nine, one 4 stall restroom trailer or 8 stall restroom trailer near the 19th hole for the reception.
Do portable toilets need servicing during a multi-day tournament?
Yes. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one service visit per week for moderate use, but a high-traffic tournament weekend often needs a mid-event service call, which we schedule as part of your event restroom rental booking.
