Yes, the built-in Calendar app lets you add them.

For your Mac:

On your computer, open Calendar
In the top left corner of your screen, click Calendar > Preferences.
Click the Accounts tab. On the left side of the Accounts tab, click +.
Select Google > Continue.
Enter your Gmail address, password, and verification code (if you have one).
Click Accept.
On the Accounts tab, choose how often you want Apple Calendar and Google Calendar to sync.

Unfortunately you can't make changes, only view existing calendars and events.

If you want to add more calendars you have in your Google Account, go to the same account preferences and next to the tab Account Information select the tab Delegation and put a checkmark in all the calendars you want to import

If want to see "Other Calendars" you have also listed in your Google Calendar, got to google.com/calendar/syncselect (per the more information link in the answer).

Here's another way, adding Google Calendar as a Chrome App with standalone window. The calendar is then available in Launchpad and the Dock.

Navigate Chrome to your calendar URL, e.g https://calendar.google.com
Create Chrome App shortcut from the URL - Chrome drop down menu (3 dots icon on top right) > More Tools > Create Shortcut

Open Chrome Drop Down menu

Create Chrome App Shortcut

Note: check the "Open as window" box

Create shortcut dialog

Open the "Google Calendar" from Chrome Apps or Launchpad!

Google Calendar from Launchpad

Select "Keep in Dock" to keep the calendar icon in the MacOS Dock (optional)

Add Calendar to Dock

That's it! Your Google Calendar App is now available as a standalone window app from the MacOS Dock and Launchpad.

Note that this is a good answer but other apps eg fluid do this as well with similar steps

This is a great alternative to downloading another Mac app. Chrome shortcuts are awesome!

Even I prefer native apps, this is just great, thank you!

On Microsoft Edge, same thing except that the option is available under "Apps > Install this site as an App"

This was genius!

I find the design of Apple's Calendar app frustrating on a number of levels, and also prefer not to have to context switch between the Google Calendar web UI and something else.

To solve this, I'm using Fluid, which wraps any URL in a native shell.

This lets me use all the features of the familiar Google Calendar while avoiding the problem of having my calendar constantly getting lost amongst my browser tabs.

Your link for Fluid takes me to a story writing site!

Dangit! Sorry about that, @jmh. My 🤬 MBP keyboard has been on the fritz. Must not have responded when I ⌘C'd the URL the first time. Fixed.

I also use Fluid for other apps, but the Google Shortcut solution above is brilliant, and adds the app to the task switcher if you select "Open as Window". Excellent!

I use Sunrise and it's great, you can add your Google Account and the GUI is very similar.

Sunrise was the best calendar app ever. RIP

If you literally want the calendar week to show on your desktop, you will want to check out the program Blotter. It can be found in the AppleStore. I have been using it for over a year, very pleased with it.
