Ever thought of installing a weeper system? I know your lot is flat but perhaps the grade changes at the end of your property. If that's the case you can dig a trench from the pooling area and use 3-4 inches of clear stone in the trench. Lay the weeper pipe and run it to the end of the lot where water can drain and cover the weeper with more stone. After that backfill the trench with the soil.

In case you don't know, weeping tile is basically a flexible 6" pipe with holes poked into it. It gathers ground water and coming in from the top and sides of the pipe and get water where you want it. It's a good solution most of the time.
