I have a enchanted Golden Pickaxe, yet for some reason when I break iron/gold ore it just vanishes. I tested on coal ore just to make sure it wasn't lag, and can confirm it isn't.

See https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pickaxe gold pickaxe is pretty much the same as wood in limitations for mining ores etc.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is {color:#FF5722}Working as Intended{color}.
As previous commenters have explained, golden tools cannot be used to mine most ore blocks. This is by design. The wiki article linked in the comment above contains a table of breaking times for the various materials used to make tools. You can use it to determine what kinds of blocks a gold tool can mine.
