A standard 18-hole scramble with 100 to 144 golfers needs 4 to 6 portable units placed at turns and the clubhouse, plus one ADA unit per ADA Standards section 213.2. Livonia Porta Pros builds the count around your field size, cart paths and whether the format runs shotgun or tee times.
Start with the field size, not the course size. A 72-golfer field spread across a shotgun start needs coverage at multiple holes at once, since everyone tees off simultaneously instead of trickling through. Livonia Porta Pros typically places standard portable toilets near the 4th, 9th, 13th and clubhouse, giving golfers a short walk no matter where they stand. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets construction-site ratios, not event ones, but it's still the closest published benchmark for staffing sanitation to headcount, and tournament directors in Livonia use it the same way. If the field tops 150, add a fifth or sixth unit rather than stretching service intervals. Clustered units also trigger ADA Standards section 213.2: at least 5 percent of any cluster, and never fewer than one, has to be an ADA accessible porta potty with a 60 inch turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1. Sponsors and VIP tents usually want something nicer than a standard stall, which is where a deluxe flushable porta potty or a small restroom trailer rental earns its keep. For a clubhouse gathering after the round, a 2 stall restroom trailer handles the overflow without competing with the pro shop bathroom line. Not sure what your field size calls for? Run the numbers on our how many porta potties do I need page before you book.
Placement matters more on a golf course than almost any other event site, because carts, mowers and drainage all fight for the same ground. Keep units off cart paths, out of drainage swales and on stable, level pads, matching the slip-resistant surface standard in ADA Standards section 302.1. Livonia Porta Pros scouts turn stations, the 9th tee box and the clubhouse patio first, since those spots see the heaviest foot traffic during a four-hour round. A porta potty placement guide walks through clearance and access details if your course superintendent has questions before delivery day. Delivery trucks need a clear approach; a roll-off dumpster rental or restroom trailer needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so tell us in advance if a cart path or bridge limits access. Placement in a public right of way, if a hole runs along a street frontage in Livonia, needs confirming with the city before delivery. For tented hospitality areas, pair units with a handwashing station rental so golfers and staff can wash before the post-round lunch, satisfying the soap-and-towel requirement in 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which hand sanitizer alone does not meet. Courses near Redford, about 4.5 miles east of Livonia, and Westland, 6.5 miles south, often share the same superintendents and event coordinators, so we coordinate placement across venues in a single delivery run when tournaments overlap.
Pricing depends on unit type, how many days you need coverage and whether you want a trailer for the clubhouse reception. A one-day charity scramble runs differently than a three-day member-guest with a Friday practice round. Here's what typically applies:
| unit | day | weekend | week |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $125-$400 | $130-$500 |
| ada | $200-$400 | $199-$300 | -- |
| deluxe | $85-$1,200 | -- | $150-$290 |
| trailer | $175-$2,500 | $900-$3,000 | -- |
A weekend member-guest usually books the deluxe or trailer option for the clubhouse and standard units for the course itself. Delivery fees run separately, and a multi-day tournament often qualifies for weekly trailer pricing instead of paying day rates three times over. Check the full breakdown on our porta potty rental cost page, or see porta potty rental per day if you're only running a single-day outing. Larger club events sometimes add a luxury restroom trailer for sponsors, and courses hosting a recurring series should look at monthly porta potty rental if the season runs long. For general tournament and outdoor event planning, our event restroom rental and festival restroom rental pages cover setups beyond golf specifically.
Book as soon as the tournament date is set, especially for a weekend in peak golf season when trailers and deluxe units move fast. Two to three weeks gives Livonia Porta Pros room to schedule delivery, service and pickup around your tee times without a rush fee.
Usually not on private course property, but placement near a public road frontage needs confirming with the city. Check our porta potty permit requirements page, or call before the event so nothing holds up delivery morning-of.
Yes. Multi-day tournaments get scheduled service between rounds, similar to the weekly interval baseline in ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. We coordinate service windows around your tee sheet so trucks aren't on course during play.
A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground with a 60 to 70 gallon tank, built for quick course-side stops. A restroom trailer rental offers real sinks and flushing fixtures, better suited to clubhouse receptions or sponsor tents.
Yes. We cover courses in Redford, Westland, Garden City and surrounding communities measured on our service areas page. Contact us through request a quote with your course location and we'll confirm delivery details.
