This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Is it possible to organize the custom post types in the admin menu?
Solution:
You can display the custom post type items as sub-menu of other items, for example:
Create a custom post type "my-cpt", in section "Options", option "Whether to show the post type in the admin menu and where to show that menu...", set the value to: edit.php?post_type=page

Hello,
You can use Toolset Forms to create/edit custom post types posts, in the post forms you can setup the custom fields and taxonomies, see our documents:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/front-end-forms-for-adding-content/
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/front-end-forms-for-editing-content/
So it depends on your website settings, if the "events and courses" you mentioned above are standard WordPress custom post types, you can use Toolset Forms for them.
And for the question "without overflowing the admin menu with custom post types":
You can display the custom post type items as sub-menu of other items, for example:
Create a custom post type "my-cpt", in section "Options", option "Whether to show the post type in the admin menu and where to show that menu...", set the value to: edit.php?post_type=page
The the custom post type item "my-cpt" will display as sub item of post type page, see my screenshot sub-menu.JPG, so you can organize the custom post types easily in admin side.
