Route

Its western terminus is the R64 just east of Dealesville.[2] From there, it heads east to the town of Soutpan. Just outside Soutpan, it crosses the R700 at a staggered intersection.[2] Continuing east, it reaches Brandfort, where it crosses the R30.[2] From Brandfort, the route initially heads east, reaching a t-junction. The R703 continues along the intersecting road, heading south-east, while the other road is unsigned and heads to Winburg. The south-eastern R703 crosses the N1 to reach Verkeerdevlei.[2] Leaving the town, it maintains its direction coming to Excelsior.[2] Here it forms a staggered intersection with the R709 and leaves the town heading east.[2] The route ends at Clocolan, at an intersection with the R708.[2]
