Golf With Your Friends
Embark on a chaotic journey through imaginative golf courses packed with wild obstacles and power-ups. Compete with friends in this outlandish minigolf experience where precision takes a backseat to unpredictable fun.
A native macOS version exists but is 32-bit and incompatible with modern macOS versions. The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.

How to run Golf With Your Friends on Mac with Boosteroid
Estimate· StreamingStreaming Golf With Your Friends through Boosteroid is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac — there's nothing to install, no Windows VM, no compatibility layer. The game runs on a remote GPU and your Mac just receives the video, which means even a base M1 MacBook Air can play the most demanding AAA titles at high settings. The tradeoff is that you need a stable internet connection (ideally wired or 5GHz Wi-Fi with 25+ Mbps down) and a subscription.
Step-by-step
- Create a Boosteroid account and pick a plan.
- Use the web client or download the macOS app.
- Add Golf With Your Friends from their library (you'll need to own it on Steam/Epic).
