Yes, but "course" only refers to "The intended *direction* of flight in
the
horizontal plane measured in degrees from north." It does not refer to a
particular ground track.

Where does it say that?

On the other hand, there are "Some procedure turns are specified by
procedural track. These turns must be flown exactly as depicted."

As far as I know, that's to distinguish from those procedure turns that
require a particular kind of turn, versus those that simply require the
pilot to remain on the "protected" side of the turn. It has nothing at all
to do with whether one is supposed to fly the depicted outbound course.
