Thank you!

Don't worry.
Let him choose the course.
Besides. . .
Your cousin, an avid golfer, will not let you embarrass yourself -- or him.
Your cousin will not let you keep on swinging. You can take only so many swings before you pick up your ball and move on. Also, your cousin will not let you take forever to look for your ball if it goes awry -- and it will.
Nobody behind you will be worrying about your inexperience as a player. The only thing they will care about, or even notice at all, is whether you know to keep the game moving.
I assume you are aware that there probably will be a dress code, especially for a better course. And then there are the shoes you will need.
You should be able to find information about golf etiquette to look through before you go.
Enjoy your day. Your game will no doubt be followed by a lovely lunch or dinner afterward. That is the best part.
And, who knows -- you might get hooked on the game.
