Along the shores of the Louisiana side of Toledo Bend Lake, a golf-and-spa resort has reduced rates to $119 per night, including a $100 credit.

Visit the resort Sundays-Thursdays through December, including New Year's Eve. Or come on the weekends for $20 more per night. The credit is valid for:

• $50 for golf cart and green fees
• $50 for meals at the restaurant 

Cypress Bend Golf Resort boasts a restaurant, spa and fitness center with an indoor and outdoor pool. Golfers will relish in the challenging course that winds its way through the inlets and hidden coves along the lake.

With temperate weather year-round, head to the park adjacent to the resort and throw in a line into the lake -- known for its bass fishing -- or opt to cruise the freshwater shore.
