How many restrooms does a golf tournament need?
Start with your headcount and spread it across the course, not just the clubhouse. A field of 80 to 100 golfers plus carts, caddies and a few spectators per hole adds up fast, and OSHA 1926.51(c) puts the sanitation baseline at 1 toilet for every 20 people on a site for four hours or more. Most 18-hole tournaments in Vancouver land on 4 to 6 standard portable toilets, placed near the 4th, 9th, 13th and 18th tees so nobody walks more than a few holes to find one. Add one ADA accessible unit per cluster, since ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, with a minimum of one regardless of total count. Clubhouses and hospitality tents usually want something nicer than a standard unit, which is where a deluxe flushable porta potty or a small restroom trailer earns its keep. If you are unsure where to start, our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math hole by hole, and OSHA portable toilet requirements covers the ratio in more detail.
What restroom options fit a golf tournament?
Standard units work fine out on the course, but the clubhouse and 19th hole deserve better. A 2 stall restroom trailer handles a hospitality tent well, and a 4 stall restroom trailer covers a full awards ceremony without a line forming. For a title sponsor or a charity gala tied to the tournament, a luxury restroom trailer gives guests running water, real stalls and climate control. Every unit we place, standard or trailer, ties back to the same footprint math: a standard unit runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so tucking six of them along a cart path is easier than it sounds. Trailers need more room and a level pad, so we walk the layout with your course superintendent ahead of time. If your event includes a beer garden or a paint-the-course fundraiser, note that OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically where herbicides, insecticides, paints or coatings are applied, which matters if the grounds crew is spraying that week. For everyday hand hygiene at the tent or registration table, a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental satisfies 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which calls for soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not sanitizer alone.
| unit | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| standard | weekend | $250 |
| standard | event | $400 |
| ada | weekend | $240 |
| deluxe | week | $250 |
| trailer | weekend | $2,000 |
| trailer | event | $3,500 |
Prices above reflect the measured range for each unit and duration; a one-day charity scramble prices differently than a multi-day club championship, so ask for a quote once you know your dates.
Where should restrooms go on a golf course?
Placement matters more on a golf course than almost any other event site, because golfers will not backtrack to find a restroom mid-round. We aim for tee boxes on holes 4, 9, 13 and 18, plus the clubhouse and any hospitality tent, so no group waits more than one hole. Ground has to be level and reasonably firm; ADA Standards 302.1 requires floor and ground surfaces at accessible units to be stable and slip resistant, which rules out soft rough or a slope near a water hazard. Accessible units also need a 60 inch turning circle per ADA Standards 304.3.1 and a door opening of at least 32 inches under ADA Standards 404.2.3, so we check clearance before we drop a unit near a cart path or bunker. If your tournament runs near a public road frontage in Vancouver, placement in the right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. We service courses inside Vancouver and out toward Camas, 11.7 miles east, and Battle Ground, 11.7 miles north, so a course anywhere in that radius is a normal service run for us, not a special trip. For multi-day events, our event restroom rental and festival restroom rental pages cover setup timing if your tournament runs a pro-am the day before.
How far in advance should I book restrooms for a tournament?
Book 2 to 3 weeks out if you can, especially for weekend dates when trailers and deluxe units move fast. Tournament season in Vancouver overlaps with weddings and festivals, so the nicer trailers book first. A request a quote call two weeks ahead gives us room to plan delivery around your tee times.
Do I need an ADA-compliant unit for a golf tournament?
Yes, if you are clustering multiple units at any tee box or the clubhouse. ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit per cluster, minimum 5 percent of the total. See our ADA restroom requirements page for the full standard.
Can restroom trailers handle a large golf outing?
Yes. An 8 stall restroom trailer handles a large field or a combined tournament and reception without long lines. It needs level ground and roughly the clearance any trailer delivery requires, so tell us your site layout early.
What if my tournament gets rained out and rescheduled?
Call us and we will move your delivery date. Our emergency porta potty rental line also covers last-minute additions if a bigger field shows up than planned.
Do I need handwashing stations separate from the restrooms?
Yes, most tournaments add at least one handwashing station near the halfway house or concession area. A hand sanitizer station rental supplements but does not replace soap-and-towel handwashing under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2).
