  In order to validate or invalidate a large class of low energy effective
theories, the Swampland conjecture has attracted significant attention,
recently. It can be stated as inequalities on the potential of a scalar field
which is conjectured to satisfy certain constraints. In this work, we discuss
the theoretical viability of deformed Starobinky gravity in light of the
refined Swampland conjectures. We consider the deformation of the form
$f(R)\sim R^{2(1-\alpha)}$ with $\alpha$ being a constant. We then constrain
$\alpha$ using the spectral index of curvature perturbation $n_s$ and the
tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. We demonstrate that the model under consideration
is in strong tension with the refined swampland conjecture. However, regarding
our analysis with proper choices of parameters $a,\,b=1- a$ and $q$, we
discover that the model can always satisfy this new refined swampland
conjecture. Therefore, the model might be in landscape since the further
refining de Sitter swampland conjecture is satisfied.
