A one-day charity scramble for 100 golfers needs at least 3 to 4 standard portable toilets spread across the front nine, back nine and clubhouse, plus one ADA unit near the cart staging area. South Suffolk Porta Pros builds tournament restroom plans around your tee sheet, not a flat guess.
Start with your field size, then split it across the course instead of clustering everything at the clubhouse. A 4-hour shotgun start with 120 players moves in waves, so restrooms need to sit near turns 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15, not just the pro shop. Our guide on how many porta potties you need walks through the math in more detail, but for tournament play the rule of thumb is one standard unit per 30 to 40 golfers on course, plus extra near the beverage cart path and driving range.
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet ratios for construction crews, not spectators, but tournament organizers in South Suffolk often use it as a sanity check anyway: 1 facility per 20 people at small counts scales fast once you add caddies, volunteers and gallery. A standard portable toilet holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, which comfortably covers a single tournament day without a mid-round service call. For a field over 150, ask about a portable restroom rental package that mixes standard units with a deluxe flushable option near the 19th hole for sponsors and VIPs.
Course layout matters more than headcount. Cart paths, drainage swales and irrigation lines all limit where a unit can sit, so walk the course with your service company before committing to a placement map. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground clearance, slope and service truck access, which matters most on courses with tight cart paths between holes.
Most South Suffolk tournaments mix three unit types: standard units on course, at least one ADA-compliant unit near the clubhouse, and a small trailer for the awards reception. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, with a minimum of one, so any tournament running four or more standard units on course needs an ADA accessible porta potty somewhere in that cluster.
For the reception tent, a restroom trailer rental upgrades the experience past a folding table and a mirror clipped to a fence post. A 2 stall restroom trailer handles a modest awards ceremony; bigger fields with a banquet component often step up to a 4 stall restroom trailer or look at a luxury restroom trailer for a title sponsor's hospitality area. Compare footprint and hookup needs on our restroom trailer rental cost page before locking a number.
Handwashing matters just as much as toilet count, especially with concession stands running hot dogs and beverage carts moving all day. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at washing stations, since hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that rule. A handwashing station rental placed near the snack bar and another near the 10th tee box covers both ends of the loop.
| unit | day | weekend |
|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $125-$400 |
| ada | $200-$400 | $199-$300 |
| deluxe | $85-$1200 | -- |
Weekend tournament rates for a standard unit run from $125 to $400 across a two-day window, which is why most South Suffolk clubs book the weekend rate rather than paying two separate day rates.
Course grade, cart traffic and sprinkler heads make golf placement trickier than a flat construction lot. A unit set too close to a fairway swale floods after rain; one set on a slope taller than what ADA Standards section 405.2 allows for a ramp becomes a problem for any golfer using a mobility device. Our crews scout tee boxes, cart paths and green complexes in South Suffolk before drop-off, checking for a 60-foot straight clearance behind the delivery truck near maintenance access roads, the same clearance standard we use for roll-off dumpster rental drops on tighter sites.
Clubs near Franklin, 23.8 miles west, and Smithfield, 22.7 miles north, often run weekend member-guest events that need the same on-course spread as a charity scramble. If your tournament also needs temporary fence rental around a driving range or crowd control barrier rental near the practice green, we coordinate that delivery on the same truck run as the restroom units.
Book 3 to 4 weeks out for a standard field, longer if you want a restroom trailer during peak spring and fall tournament season. Course availability and cart path access windows fill fast, and trailers need a site walk first.
Yes, if any golfer, volunteer or spectator with a disability might attend. ADA Standards section 213.2 applies to clustered units regardless of whether the event is private or open.
One per concession stand is standard, plus one near any restroom cluster. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a drying device, not sanitizer alone, at each station.
No. Units need stable, level ground per ADA Standards section 302.1, and cart paths need to stay clear for tournament play and maintenance equipment all day.
Units get serviced and secured before play resumes. Ground stability becomes the bigger concern, so our emergency porta potty rental team can reposition or add units if fairway access changes.
Yes. South Suffolk Porta Pros delivers golf tournament restrooms across South Suffolk and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
