Hi nicola, welcome to the game.
When you click Play Now you go to a window with a lot of choices. Way down in the left hand corner you will see Explore Courses. Click that and you will see all of the courses available for play. Only 4 of them are for regular stroke or match play-Bethpage (everybody calls it BPB), Kiawah, St Andrews and Oakmont. If you click any of those you will see the choices you have to play there. The rest is pretty simple.
As for "turning" your golfer I suspect you mean how to aim.There are in-game lesson you can take that will show you how to do everything. After that you can go over there------> under FAQs and read about good stuff like Putting Tip and Chip and Pitch Tips.
To get to the lessons in the game look under Menu. GL and I hope this gets you going. :-)
