GG5 has it, and it's used in a lot of sentences on reverso (usually just as "course").
Dropping 方向姓.

  Comments:
does "course of action" really work for sense 1? seems off to me. Seems way too concrete, when the Japanese word is way more general

This is an unexpected sense that crops of from time to time in 
my translations. This time it was a heading in a table listing 
the purposes for which a certain marketing video was made. 
Context made it very clear that these were the aims of the 
video in question. I've also seen it before and really 
scratched my head about it in the past. When I thought of it in 
terms of "where are we going with this," it all suddenly made 
snese.
