Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Front Nine at none against Coursed Golf's 10. Front Nine also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). Coursed Golf's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coursed Golf sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Front Nine asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Front Nine against 5.0 for Coursed Golf. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Front Nine has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
