Hello.

Do you use 'spend a good time' instead of 'have a good time'?
'He thinks it is enjoyable for everyone to spend a good time with friends.'
 
You can and with no difference in meaning.

It's not natural to say "spend a good time".
 
"Spend time": common/usual. "Spend a good time": not so common, but would be understood.
 
You'll hear "spend quality time with someone". It doesn't work with "good time".
