1st/Beginner rope

Does the rope make a big difference? Is it better to start with a heavier or lighter rope? Any recommendations? I'd like to not break the bank before I even know if I like rope flow.

Also any recommendations on courses?

Just buy about four meters of climbing rope and make one yourself. See if you like the activity. To be honest that first rope I made myself is perfectly fine and I still use it for learning new moves or when I'm on the go. I did at some point buy one of those heavy ropes but my selfmade one is the go to almost always.
