Ok. I have been playing disc golf for two and a half years and have become serious enough to start wanting to play in some local C-tiers. I have two questions about playing tournaments since I don't really know how this works. My first question is is there a minimum age cutoff for who can play? I am seventeen and am wondering if I would be allowed to play. Also, if I want to play C-tiers do I have to have a PDGA membership?

I got carded up with a group of fifteen year olds in a tournament once so your age is a non-issue.
Also, I know a PDGA membership is required for A and B tier events but I don't think it's a requirement for a C tier. Also, there may be some non-sanctioned events if you look around a bit.

Not in your case. Under a certain age you're required to have adult supervision but at 17 you are well beyond that. You may play in any division you qualify for.
Not for C Tiers although there is still the added $10 charge for non-PDGA members. If you're going to play a lot of tournaments it might be better to just join the PDGA.
Whatever you decide to do, don't forget to have fun with it.
If you can find a mini (a one day/one round) event or if there is a local club that has a weekly round, both are a good way to get introduced to competitive play with a little less intensity. Typically these are not PDGA sanctioned events so no membership or fee requirement.
Not that a C tier in the MA divisions should be super intense, but there is always the potential that someone will be uber serious.
