I would suspect that the engine having stopped during climb out from an airfield there wasn't much the pilot could do except land on what was available - which seems to have been very well done.
I wonder - what makes a golf course a 'congested area'? Quite possibly - I don't know the area - the golf course may have been the only (green) space available that was not 'congested'. Even on a Saturday, the occupancy on a golf course can be quite sparse, given the distance between playing groups.
An unusual hazard for the golfers - impressively well done the pilot.
