How deep are the boreholes? If they are fairly shallow, it's probably reasonable to assume that the ground temperature fluctuates annually in a similar way that a surface water pond would. I think anchapin's idea of using the GroundHeatExchanger:Pond would be a good idea in this case. You may also try the horizontal loop model and compare the two.
