A golf tournament for 120 players usually needs 4 to 5 standard units spread across the front nine, back nine and clubhouse, plus one ADA unit near the pro shop. Santa Cruz Porta Pros builds the layout around your card and tee times, not a generic headcount.
Start with the field size, not the course size. A shotgun start with 120 players spread over 18 holes moves differently than a tee-time field trickling out over four hours, and your portable toilet rental count should reflect that. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for worker sites at one toilet for every 20 people, and tournament organizers use that as a sane floor even though spectators and players aren't construction crews. For a member-guest with carts running both nines, we typically place units at the 4th, 9th, 13th and clubhouse turn, so nobody rides a cart four holes just to find a door. Add one ADA unit under ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and never fewer than one even for a small field. That unit needs a 60 inch turning circle inside per ADA Standards section 304.3.1 and a 32 inch clear door opening under ADA Standards section 404.2.3, so carts and walkers both fit. If your tournament runs a hospitality tent behind the 18th green, we also recommend a deluxe flushable porta potty or two near the scoring table, since that's where players and sponsors linger longest. Check our how many porta potties do I need guide for the math behind the ratio if your field runs bigger than 150.
Placement beats quantity every time on a golf course, because a unit at the wrong turn does nothing for pace of play. We walk the routing with the tournament director and drop units where carts already stop: the beverage cart turn, the 9th hole restroom break, and the practice green before the shotgun horn. Ground has to be firm and level, since ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for stable, slip-resistant footing, and a unit sinking into a wet fairway after a Santa Cruz coastal fog rolls through is a service call nobody wants mid-round. Our porta potty placement guide covers clearance and access in more detail. For the clubhouse and awards area, an ADA accessible porta potty with a 36 inch clear route per ADA Standards section 403.5.1 keeps golf carts, walkers and wheelchairs moving without a bottleneck. If your tournament draws spectators along a scenic hole, a restroom trailer rental or a 2 stall restroom trailer near the gallery ropes handles higher traffic better than a single unit. Large charity tournaments sometimes pair a 4 stall restroom trailer at the clubhouse with standard units on course. We service throughout the event window, and our how often are porta potties cleaned page explains the baseline visit interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets one service call per week for typical use, though tournament day service is scheduled around your tee times instead.
Cost depends on field size, course layout and how many days you need units on the grounds. A single-day charity scramble in Santa Cruz runs differently than a three-day member-guest with practice rounds. Below are the measured bands for the unit types tournaments use most.
| unit | day | week | weekend |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$400 |
| ada | $200-$400 | $199-$240 | $199-$300 |
| deluxe | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | -- |
| trailer | $175-$2500 | $900-$1650 | $900-$3000 |
A weekend event tacks on a delivery fee, typically $125 to $540 depending on distance and unit count, and a service fee if you want mid-event cleaning, which for weekend tournament windows runs $400 to $1200. Full details live on our porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day pages, and multi-day club tournaments sometimes fit better under a monthly porta potty rental if the course keeps units on site between events. Request a quote with your field size and course layout and we'll build the count from there instead of guessing.
Placement inside private course property usually doesn't trigger the same review as street or right-of-way placement, but that still needs confirming with the city if any unit sits near a public road or shared parking lot. See our porta potty permit requirements page before you finalize the layout.
Book as soon as your field size and date are set. Golf tournaments cluster on weekends, and units, trailers and delivery slots go fast in season. A temporary fence rental or crowd control barrier rental around a hospitality tent needs the same lead time.
Yes. A handwashing station rental near the snack turn keeps players moving without a line at a single sink. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not sanitizer alone, at any washing facility you set up.
We cover Santa Cruz and the nearby courses. Scotts Valley sits 6.6 miles north and Watsonville 17.2 miles east, both within normal delivery range. Check service areas for your exact course location.
Yes, a luxury restroom trailer works well for pro-am dinners or award ceremonies following play. Pair it with an 8 stall restroom trailer for larger galas and see our event restroom rental page for full package options.
Yes. Santa Cruz Porta Pros delivers golf tournament restrooms across Santa Cruz and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
