Georgia State Route 103

{{Expand section|date=December 2013}}

SR 103 begins at an intersection with SR 219 northwest of Mulberry Grove, in Harris County. Past this intersection, the roadway continues as SR 116. SR 103 travels to the west-southwest, and then curves to the north. Just before an intersection with the southern terminus of Pine Lake Road, it begins to curve to the northwest. The highway continues to the north-northwest and enters Troup County and the city limits of West Point, where it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 18.

SR 103 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.{{cite map|publisher=Federal Highway Administration|title=National Highway System: (Draft) Georgia|date=November 15, 2013|url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/nhs_maps/georgia/ga_georgia.pdf|format=PDF|access-date=May 14, 2014}}

State Route 103 Spur (SR 103 Spur) was a spur route of SR 103 that existed entirely within Muscogee County and the city limits of Columbus, when the SR 103 mainline formerly traveled through the Columbus area. Between June 1963 and the end of 1965, SR 103 Spur was established on Cusseta Road and Brown Avenue, between intersections with SR 357 (Fort Benning Road/Brennan Road) and SR 103 (Buena Vista Road). In 1983, the spur route was decommissioned.
