How many restrooms does a golf tournament need?
Course sanitation isn't like a construction site. Players are spread over 150-plus acres, moving in waves, and nobody wants to walk back to the clubhouse mid-round. Lehi Porta Pros plans placement by hole cluster: one unit near the 4th or 5th tee, another near the turn, one at the back nine's far point, and two or three staged by the clubhouse for check-in and the 19th hole crowd. For a standard four-hour shotgun event, that's typically 4 to 6 standard portable restrooms plus an ADA accessible unit positioned on a route that meets the 36 inch clear path called for in ADA Standards section 403.5.1. Bigger charity scrambles or multi-day member-guest events push that number higher, and a gallery around the finishing hole for a shotgun-start shootout adds foot traffic fast. If you're not sure where to start, our porta potty placement guide walks through sightline and cart-path considerations, and how many porta potties do I need breaks the math down by headcount. Lehi's courses vary in size and terrain, so a walk-through beats a guess every time.
What restroom options work best for a tournament?
Most golf committees skip the bare-bones unit and go with something nicer for a signature event. A deluxe flushable porta potty gives players a flush handle and a real sink instead of a hand sanitizer pump, which matters when your title sponsor is walking the course. For member-guest tournaments or club championships with a hospitality tent, a restroom trailer rental raises the bar again: climate control, real stalls, running water that satisfies the soap-and-towel requirement in 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). A 2 stall restroom trailer handles a modest field near the clubhouse, while an 8 stall restroom trailer suits a larger pro-am or a multi-day event with a hospitality village. Pair any of these with a handwashing station rental at the snack cart or halfway house, since players are handling clubs, tees and food in the same nine holes. Courses hosting a beer cart or full bar setup should also plan waste pickup; a small roll-off dumpster rental near the cart barn keeps cans and cups from piling up behind the pro shop.
When should I book for a Lehi tournament?
Book 3 to 4 weeks out if you can, sooner for a weekend in peak golf season when courses and vendors both fill up fast. Lehi sits close enough to draw from American Fork, 5.9 miles southeast, and Draper, 8.4 miles north, so tournament fields here often pull players from both directions, and Saratoga Springs golfers are only 8.1 miles southwest. That regional draw means bigger fields than a strictly local event, and bigger fields mean the restroom count creeps up fast. A standard unit rented for a single tournament day runs inside the same day-rate band you'd see on a construction site, and weekend tournament pricing follows a similar weekend curve, so budgeting early avoids a scramble the week of the event. Check our porta potty rental cost page for the general pricing structure, or go straight to porta potty rental per day if you're locking in a one-day shotgun start. Multi-day member-guest tournaments should look at monthly porta potty rental math instead, since a 3-day event often prices closer to a short-term week rate than a single day multiplied out. Whatever the format, request a request a quote once you know your field size and hole layout, and Lehi Porta Pros will map placement to your scorecard.
Table: typical unit choices by tournament size
| field size | recommended units | best fit |
|---|---|---|
| under 75 players | 2-3 standard + 1 ADA | standard porta potty rental |
| 75-150 players | 4-6 standard + 1 ADA | deluxe flushable porta potty |
| 150+ players / multi-day | trailer + satellite units | restroom trailer rental |
Whatever the field size, event restroom rental and golf tournament restrooms planning both come down to the same thing: match units to foot traffic, not just headcount. A festival restroom rental or concert restroom rental setup crowds people into one footprint; a golf course spreads them over acres, so spacing matters more than density.
How far in advance do I need to reserve units for a golf tournament?
Three to four weeks is a safe window, especially for a Saturday in high season. Popular courses book vendor access early, and Lehi Porta Pros needs lead time to confirm cart-path delivery routes. Call sooner if you're adding a restroom trailer rental.
Do I need an ADA-accessible unit for a golf tournament?
Yes, if units are clustered for public use. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit, even in a cluster of just a few, and it needs a 60 inch turning circle nearby per section 304.3.1.
Can units be placed directly on the fairway or cart path?
Delivery trucks need roughly 60 feet of clearance to place a unit safely, so most courses set units just off the cart path near tee boxes or turns. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground stability and turf protection.
What's the difference between a standard unit and a deluxe unit for an event like this?
A standard unit has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and no sink. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism and handwashing, which most tournament committees prefer for sponsor-facing events.
Do you deliver restrooms to courses outside Lehi?
Yes. Lehi Porta Pros serves courses near American Fork, Draper, Saratoga Springs and Riverton, and our service areas page lists driving distance for each nearby town.
