If it is on a grade, I would dig a small trench as a drain on the downhill side. Deep enough to so that the discharge end is lower than the bottom of the hole. Fill it half way with pea gravel then cover with soil and it will not be noticeable. This is called a French drain and can be useful where soil contains a lot of clay.
