 Golf 33 was born from a reunion, a marriage, and a shared dream.

Richard "Rick" Hillard, an avid golfer, Navy veteran, and seasoned sales professional with more than 30 years of experience in the United States, joined forces with his wife, Claudia de la Rosa, a Mexico City-born, California raised producer and specialist in tourism, events & festivals, sports & golf  tournaments,  production, PR, and media. Though they met as teenagers, life took them in different directions—Rick building a career and raising his family in California, while Claudia traveled the world producing cultural events and experiences.

Thirty years later, life brought them back together.

After marrying in 2022, they made their home at the Bakersfield Country Club, embracing athleticism, wellness, and a shared appreciation for an active, balanced life. It was during this time that they discovered something remarkable: Bakersfield and Querétaro—Claudia’s family home and the place where they married—are sister cities.

This realization sparked a new vision.

A Vision of Connection

Their unique journeys—Claudia’s passion for travel, culture, and ceremonial experiences, and Rick’s lifelong love of golf and camaraderie—naturally blended into a business that reflects the best of both worlds.

Golf 33 was created to offer travelers not just golf trips, but elevated, meaningful experiences rooted in connection, celebration, and authenticity.

Why “33”?

The number 33 carries special significance. It is Rick’s life path number, representing:

• Selfless service
• Nurturing and guidance
• Visionary insight
• Deep spiritual work
• Profound fulfillment

When Rick learned the meaning behind his life path number, it resonated deeply with Claudia’s lifelong cultural work—especially her commitment to ceremonial and Indigenous traditions. Together, they recognized an important calling:

To make the most of the time they have together and to share these experiences with integrity, respect, and heartfelt purpose.
