How Many Restrooms Does a Golf Tournament Need?
Golf courses spread people out over 150-plus acres, so the math is different from a construction site. Instead of one ratio for the whole event, think in clusters: two or three units near the clubhouse and driving range, then single units at turn points like the 6th and 15th tees, wherever players and carts bottleneck. How many porta potties do I need walks through the per-person math in more detail, but for golf the terrain matters more than the roster.
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline most tournament planners still reference: one toilet for 20 people or fewer, then additional fixtures as the count climbs past 20. A charity scramble with 80 golfers plus caddies and volunteers can sit right at that first threshold. Add spectators for a member-guest or a pro-am, and you are past it fast. Standard porta potty rental covers the everyday unit most courses use for these placements, and pairing that with a deluxe flushable porta potty near the clubhouse gives sponsors and VIPs a nicer option without renting a full trailer.
ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and never less than 5 percent of the total. A course near Casper hosting a benefit tournament with mobility-limited golfers or family members watching from carts should plan for an ADA accessible porta potty at the clubhouse and at least one more on the back nine. The unit needs a stable, level pad. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for firm, slip resistant ground, which on a golf course usually means a cart path apron or a mowed staging area, not rough turf.
Where Should Units Go on the Course?
Placement drives whether golfers actually use the units or just complain about the walk. Clubhouse restrooms handle check-in, the range and the 9th and 18th greens. From there, work outward: a unit near the 4th or 5th tee box catches the front nine, and one near 13th or 14th covers the back. Porta potty placement guide has more on sight lines and access, which matters on a golf course since carts, not people, decide how fast service trucks and rentals get in and out.
Cart path width and turning room matter for delivery. A standard unit runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, small enough to set just off a path without blocking cart traffic. Roll-off and delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind them to unload, so Casper Porta Pros scouts access points during the site walk rather than guessing from a course map. If the tournament also needs waste staging for hospitality tents or vendor booths, a roll-off dumpster rental placed near the maintenance yard keeps that traffic off the cart paths entirely.
Courses near Casper hosting member-guest events or charity scrambles often want the units gone the same evening once the last group finishes. Same-day pickup is standard for one-day tournaments, and multi-day events just extend the rental. Event restroom rental covers the broader planning approach, and if the tournament includes an awards dinner or reception, a restroom trailer rental at the clubhouse gives that portion of the event a nicer finish than a standard unit alone.
What Does It Cost for a Golf Tournament?
Pricing depends on unit type and how long the course needs them, not just player count. Most one-day tournaments rent standard units at the daily or weekend rate, while multi-day pro-ams sometimes make more sense on a weekly basis if the course is also hosting practice rounds.
| Unit | Day | Weekend | Week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard unit | $100 - $350 | $125 - $400 | $130 - $500 |
| ADA unit | $200 - $400 | $199 - $300 | $240 - $240 |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1200 | - | $150 - $290 |
Delivery fees run separately and typically land between $100 and $500 for a single-day event, depending on how many stops the driver makes across the course. Porta potty rental cost breaks down what drives those numbers, and porta potty rental per day is worth checking if the tournament is a single Saturday event rather than a full weekend. Courses running an annual event often switch to monthly porta potty rental for maintenance-area units that stay out during the season.
Tournaments near Casper sometimes add a handwashing station rental near the halfway house or snack cart, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)2 requires soap and a drying method wherever handwashing is provided, and hand sanitizer alone does not meet that standard. A portable sink rental works well for that spot if food service is involved.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book restrooms for a tournament?
Two to three weeks is usually enough for a single-day scramble, but book six to eight weeks out for a big pro-am or charity event with sponsor tents. Courses near Hartrandt, 4.8 miles northwest of Casper, and Red Butte, 6.7 miles southwest, follow the same lead times.
Do we need an ADA unit if no golfers use a wheelchair?
Yes, if units are clustered. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit per cluster regardless of the roster, since spectators, caddies and staff may need it too.
Can units be moved between holes during the tournament?
Not easily once delivered. Plan placement before the event using the porta potty placement guide, since carts and terrain make midday repositioning impractical on most courses.
What if the tournament runs into bad weather?
Units stay put through wind and rain. For freezing conditions, see porta potty in winter for how servicing changes with temperature.
Do we need a permit for units placed on course property?
Placement on private course grounds usually does not need a city permit, but anything staged near a public road should be confirmed with Casper first. See porta potty permit requirements for that process.
