Jurjen Jacob (Jurrie) Koolhof (born 10 January 1960 in Beerta, Groningen) is a former Dutch international football striker and manager.
As a player, Koolhof had a long and productive career, with 190 league goals. He played for a number of clubs in the Netherlands including Vitesse Arnhem, F.C. Groningen and PSV Eindhoven. For the latter he scored a total of 69 goals in 106 appearances and formed a great tandem with Norway's Hallvar Thoresen in the mid-1980s.
Koolhof is the father of De Graafschap player Dean Koolhof.
He began his career at the local pride BV Veendam, breaking into the first-team squad in 1978. He began scoring prolifically in the late 1980s, attracting a lot of attention. He was transferred to Vitesse Arnhem in the new decade. In his second season in Arnhem he managed to score 19 goals in 16 appearances, an exceptional average of 1.2 goals per match. During the 1981/1982 transfer window he signed a contract at PSV Eindhoven, his first Eredivisie club.
His first years in the lichtstad (city of light) have been very successful. He adapted quickly to higher level and in two and a half years he missed only a few matches. Then, in 1984 he suffered a terrible injury. He was out for two full years. In season 1986/1987 he returned to the pitch but he never fully recovered. He played professional football for another seven years, mainly in the Eerste Divisie. After FC Groningen, again Vitesse Arnhem and De Graafschap he ended his career where it had once started: BV Veendam.
