Is there a framework out for go that rivals Laravel as far as out of the box features and tools?
There is https://gobuffalo.io/ and there is https://github.com/livebud/bud. Both are interesting approaches, but sadly, without real business interest from the community. See, 90% of what makes Laravel Laravel (or Rails Rails) is business adoption. And, as you will sadly find out, the business adoption for traditional Web applications is exactly zero. If you don't want to make the same mistake as I did, and spend 3 years of your life searching for it, do as the others advised - just use the tools and frameworks that have already been built to solve the problem you need.
