Game summary

Dive into a new and unexpected take on golf games! In Lava Golf you do not control the golfer, instead you are the golf ball and your objective is to reach the end portal of each course without falling into the lava. Armed with unexpected skills for a golf ball, like the ability to dash into the air or to hit the brakes to avoid falling off a platform, you will need to cross all the portal rings of a course to unlock its exit portal. Scattered across the course you'll also find precious experience spheres which will let you gain levels and grant skill points allowing you to unlock new incredible abilities and to enhance your existing ones! Unlock unique skills, cross all the rings, and most importantly... DO NOT FALL INTO THE LAVA!

Play Lava Golf on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Lava Golf on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Lava Golf installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Lava Golf like you would on any PC.
