Does anyone know anything about the fair chase hunts that Dream Lake offers?

Not knocking it, but no, by definition it isn't fair chase.
From the Dream Ranch website:
Dream Ranch deer hunting consists of hunting in our 1400 acre trophy managed high fence preserve. The hunts are conducted on a fully guided one-on-one basis. Hunts take place in a 9x5 insulated shooting house, ladder stand, spot and stalk or rattling. We make it our number one priority to make sure you get a chance at your Dream Buck.

I can assure you our company isn't paying for 10 of us to hunt in the big pen.
Also from their website:
Dream Hunt I - Shooters Choice - November
The Dream Hunt is the opening weekend of Alabama Rifle Season. Hunters may harvest any Dream Buck on the Ranch...no limits! A limited number of spots are available for this record setting hunt, so reserve your spot today.
Y'all may be right, which is why I am asking. I'm not going if it's all fenced.

you can go and take pics, nobody is going t make you shoot one.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Heck I'd go and happily shoot one if it's not on my dime, but just to answer the question it isn't a fair chase hunt. Still a cool thing for your company to do! I can think of plenty of other corporate activities that I wouldn't want to participate in.

We are going to Dream Lake Lodge, slightly different. Looks like they have 6,000 acres of non high fence and 700 acres of "trophy preserve."

Spear weekend in mid-January is the one I get fired up over. Nothing like spear chunking at a 200 class whitetail.

Are you referring to Dream Lake or Dream Ranch auburn17? Those are two totally different hunting operations I was originally told by my boss that is was dream ranch, but it's Dream Lake that we are actually going to. Thanks for the feedback, I'll report back how it went. I am definitely taking fishing gear

I've heard mixed reviews on the place. I live close by. It's a great area... I would expect that everyone should see deer, and if the weather is decent, 1 or 2 people will probably get an opportunity at a decent buck. For a free trip, it should be worth looking forward to. Even more so if they'll let you fish too. The lakes are supposed to be phenomenal It's a great area yes but I wouldn't count on 1-2 people having a shot at good bucks. I carried a bunch of customers there last year and not a single good buck was seen in three days of hunting.

My buddies dad actually owns the place and I have hunted in numerous times to thin out some does and pigs the past 8 or so years.. I personally have seen a ton of good 130class or higher shooter bucks. It is nothing to see upwards of 50 deer in a field. Bunch of nonstop action. Fishing is also very good this time of year. Mr Jeff and Butch do a fine job to satisfy customers sounds about spot on. I use to hunt the land adjoining this growing up for squirrels. Old friends family land. Been some big bucks taken off that place going back 30 years.

A little late, but wanted to update. We had a great hunt/weekend at Dream Lake. Food and accommodations were top notch, fishing was awesome, and hunting was pretty dang good. Our group wound up killing two 8 points (1 shouldn't have been killed), 4 does, and a hog. I wound up seeing 8 rack bucks Saturday afternoon and 3 were shooters. Buck I shot: https://imgur.com/a/qMkVkhttps://imgur.com/a/wOcRo
