A golf tournament with 100 to 150 golfers usually needs 4 to 6 standard units spread across the front nine, back nine and clubhouse area, plus at least 1 ADA unit per ADA Standards 213.2. Dearborn Heights Porta Pros builds the layout around your course map, not a generic headcount.
Start with the field size, then split it by turn. A 100-golfer scramble with a shotgun start behaves differently than a stroke-play field going off in pairs, so our placement guide walks through both. As a baseline, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets 1 toilet facility per 20 workers on a jobsite, and tournament planners in Dearborn Heights use a similar ratio for gallery-heavy holes. Clusters near the clubhouse or the 9th green see the heaviest traffic, so we put standard units there and spread lighter units across the back nine.
Any cluster of single-user units triggers ADA Standards 213.2: at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, has to be accessible. We size ADA accessible units into the plan from the start rather than bolting one on later, and every accessible unit gets a 60 inch turning circle inside per ADA Standards 304.3.1, plus a 32 inch door opening per ADA Standards 404.2.3. For a member-guest event or a charity scramble, that usually means one ADA unit near the clubhouse and one near the far turn. If your tournament runs into a corporate outing with a hospitality tent, event restroom rental planning applies the same math to the tent zone.
Standard units cover most of the course, but the clubhouse, hospitality tent and 19th hole deserve something nicer. A deluxe flushable unit gives sponsors and VIP guests a flush handle and a sink, and for a title-sponsor event or a pro-am, a full restroom trailer at the clubhouse makes the day feel less like a construction site and more like a golf tournament. A 4 stall restroom trailer handles a moderate outing; an 8 stall restroom trailer fits a larger field with a banquet tent. For smaller charity scrambles, a luxury restroom trailer at the clubhouse and standard units on the course split the difference.
Every unit we place, standard or deluxe, gets serviced on the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline interval of once per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, so a one-day tournament gets a fresh unit delivered and picked up rather than a mid-round service truck rolling across a fairway. Handwashing matters too: 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and a towel or hand-drying device, not just sanitizer, so our handwashing station rental units carry both. If the course also runs a concession stand, a portable sink rental near the food tent keeps that station separate from the golfer traffic.
Cart path access decides most of the answer. Units need a stable, slip-resistant surface under ADA Standards 302.1, so we avoid rough terrain and wet turf and set units on the cart path shoulder or a mowed apron near the tee box. A standard unit runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, small enough to tuck beside a cart path without blocking play. We also keep a 36 inch clear route to each unit per ADA Standards 403.5.1, since a gallery crowd around a green can box a unit in fast if nobody plans for it.
Dearborn Heights golf outings tend to book two to three weeks out for a Saturday tournament, and delivery scheduling around cart traffic and irrigation cycles takes a walk-through, not a guess. Garden City sits 3.4 miles west and Redford 4.4 miles north, so a club drawing golfers from both directions is well within our normal delivery radius. For a rained-out reschedule or a field that grows past your original count, emergency porta potty rental covers the same-week add. If the tournament runs a full weekend with a Friday pro-am, ask about porta potty rental per day pricing versus a weekend block, since a single weekend rate often beats booking two separate day rentals.
| unit | day | weekend | week |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $125-$400 | $130-$500 |
| ada | $200-$400 | $199-$300 | $185-$240 |
| deluxe | $85-$1200 | -- | $150-$290 |

Book as soon as your field size firms up, ideally two to three weeks out. Larger fields with hospitality tents need more lead time for a restroom trailer. Waiting until tournament week limits you to whatever standard units remain, and layout options around cart paths shrink fast.
Usually yes, if temporary units serve holes far from the clubhouse. ADA Standards 213.2 applies to clustered portable units regardless of what permanent restrooms exist elsewhere on the property, so a unit placed near the 9th or 14th green still needs an accessible option nearby.
Yes, with the right groundwork. We use cart path shoulders or mowed aprons and avoid soft turf, since a 44 by 48 inch unit is light enough to place carefully but heavy enough to rut wet ground. Course superintendents usually flag preferred spots during a walk-through.
A standard unit has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and no sink. A deluxe unit adds a flush handle and handwashing, better suited to a clubhouse or VIP tent. Most tournaments mix both: standard on the course, deluxe near hospitality.
Yes, especially near food service or a halfway house. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, which sanitizer alone does not satisfy, so a dedicated handwashing station near concessions covers that gap without crowding the restroom line.
Yes. Dearborn Heights Porta Pros delivers golf tournament restrooms across Dearborn Heights and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
