A golf tournament running 80 to 120 players usually needs 2 to 3 standard units plus one ADA unit at the clubhouse or turn. Medford Porta Pros builds the count around your field size and course layout, not a flat number, because a 9-hole scramble and an 18-hole shotgun start need different math.
Start with your field size and multiply by how long the round runs. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets a baseline of one toilet for every 20 people on a worksite, and tournament organizers use the same ratio as a floor even though a golf course is not a construction site. For 100 golfers plus caddies and volunteers, that lands you around 4 to 5 standard units spread across the front nine, back nine and clubhouse area. Carts move slower than legs, so spacing matters more than raw count. Put one unit near the first tee, one near the turn, one near the 14th or 15th, and keep the clubhouse cluster stocked for spectators. If the event draws a gallery, event restroom rental planning should treat the crowd separately from the players. Medford courses with cart paths make delivery easier than a flat walking course, since a service truck can follow the path instead of cutting across fairways. Ask your course superintendent where the truck can access without crossing greens, and confirm that with porta potty placement guide thinking before the trucks show up. A standard unit runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, small enough to tuck behind a cart barn or tree line without blocking sightlines. For a member-guest or charity scramble, a deluxe flushable porta potty at the turn upgrades the experience without adding much footprint.
Standard units cover the course, and one ADA unit at the clubhouse covers accessibility. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent be accessible, with a minimum of one, so any grouping near the clubhouse or 9th green needs that ADA unit in the mix. ADA Standards section 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside the unit, and section 404.2.3 sets a 32 inch minimum door width, both worth checking before the truck leaves the yard. For a title sponsor tent or VIP area, a restroom trailer rental reads a lot better than a row of standard units, and a 2 stall restroom trailer handles a modest hospitality tent without crowding the setup. Bigger charity events with a dinner or awards ceremony afterward often step up to a 4 stall restroom trailer so the transition from course to banquet does not create a bottleneck. If you are pairing the round with a shower facility for a multi-day member event, a shower trailer rental is worth pricing separately. Handwashing matters too: 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at washing stations, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that. A handwashing station rental placed near the snack cart or turn shack keeps that requirement covered without crowding the units themselves.
Pricing depends on unit type and how many days you need the course covered. Most one-day tournaments in Medford run on a day rate, while multi-day pro-ams or member-guest weekends often make more sense on a weekend or weekly basis. Here is how the main options compare:
| Unit | Day | Week | Event Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard unit | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $200 - $800 |
| ADA unit | $200 - $400 | $240 - $400 | -- |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | -- |
| Restroom trailer | $175 - $2,500 | $1,650 - $2,500 | $2,499 - $3,899 |
A delivery fee applies on top of the unit rate, typically $100 to $500 for a single-day event depending on how far the truck travels and how tricky the course access is. Winchester courses sit about 3.7 miles from our Medford base and Woburn is roughly 6.0 miles, so most Medford-area tournaments fall well within a short haul. For a full breakdown by unit type, see porta potty rental cost or check porta potty rental per day if you are only running a single round. Multi-week club championships or season-long league play might fit better under monthly porta potty rental terms instead of booking each week separately.
Book as soon as you have a confirmed date and field size, ideally 3 to 4 weeks out. Golf season books fast in Medford and nearby towns like Melrose, about 5.0 miles northeast, share the same delivery trucks. Waiting until tournament week limits your unit choice and delivery window.
Yes, as long as the truck can reach the spot without crossing turf that could rut. Cart paths make this easier. Talk to your superintendent first, then work placement details out with porta potty placement guide in hand so nothing blocks play or sightlines.
Yes, if any units are clustered together. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit per cluster, regardless of field size. See ADA restroom requirements for the full standard, or browse the ADA accessible porta potty option directly.
Units stay in place under your original agreement, and we can adjust service timing if the event runs long. Call ahead if the delay pushes past a day, since emergency porta potty rental service can add units fast if the field grows unexpectedly.
Yes, if you expect a gallery beyond the players and caddies. Spectators cluster near the clubhouse and 18th green, so add a unit or two there rather than spreading your course count thinner. Use how many porta potties do i need to check your math against expected turnout.
Yes. Medford Porta Pros delivers golf tournament restrooms across Medford and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
