I played VR last weekend. It's in pretty good shape, greens rolled nice and the rough is pretty thick.
VR is way more gimmicky than Springbank. It probably has the most penal bunkering around the green complexes that you will find in Calgary. It is not a place for high handicappers at all. 13 is a great example of this. Water right, deep bunkers left. Miss the green left and not only are you faced with a shot from a deep bunker you are playing to an elevated green that slopes away from the bunker towards water. 15 has the same type of bunkers and water right behind the green.
It's probably one of, if not the, hardest public course in Calgary.
It's massively overpriced for what the course is. I'd play Delacour over VR 10 times out of 10.
