I want to sync my Google Calendar to my Mac, but the Calendar app in Mountain Lion doesn’t seem to give me the option to set or change the calendar server. Any suggestions?
The option to sync the Calendar application is still available in Mountain Lion, located in Calendar > Preferences. In the Accounts tab, you can click the Plus (+) button in the Accounts list to create a new account sync point. In the popup, choose Google from the Account Type drop-down menu, and then type in your Google account credentials before clicking Create.
Calendar > Preferences > Accounts can set up your Google Calendar account for you.
Once the events from your Google account sync, you will be able to create, view, and delete all of your calendar events stored in Google Calendar. Your Google Calendar will appear in the sidebar, just like the Calendar system in iCloud.
If you use more than one Google Calendar (say, one for home and one for work), head back to Calendar > Preferences > Accounts, click your Google account in the sidebar, and then click the Delegation tab and check the boxes for whatever other calendars you want to see in the Calendar app.
The rest of your Google Calendars are in the Delegation tab.

Do not go to Delegation tab and do not check the boxes for whatever other calendars you want to see in the Calendar app
The Delegates should appear under your calendar without clicking on delegates, and if they are not - go to
google's syncselect site and select the additional calendars you want to appear in the Calendar app.
If you select delegates you will bump in to the problem when periodically Calendar app pop ups with different HTTP 404 error and alike errors as well as appearing and dissapearing Delegate duplicates.
It is widely discussed on Apple and Google forums and Google acknowledged the problem and posted the solution.apple discussions thread 4274995
P.S. You may correct your article with new instructions and remove my comment if you wish.
