BioCylce & FindAComposter.com

Since 1960, BioCycle has established themselves as North America’s foremost magazine/resource on composting and organics recycling. BioCycle demonstrates organic residual solutions - woody materials, turfgrass/yard trimmings, food residuals and biosolids into value-added products.

They've covered organic waste management on golf courses a number of times, see article list below, and have a fantastic spin-off site FindAComposter.com. If you cannot manage your material on site, or are capable of managing more material then you currently have access to, this site is a fantastic resource.
